Roger French’s football coaching career spanned six decades, capped by his key role on Brigham Young University’s only national championship team.

French, a longtime Maple Grove resident who was also an assistant coach at the University of Minnesota in the 1970s, died on Feb. 3 at age 87.

“He just loved the game,” said Gail Luedke, one of French’s daughters. “He loved his family, he loved the Lord, and he loved his players.”
