For decades the Salem Tigers celebrated a rich history of Division II football. Jimbo Fisher, longtime LSU and current Florida State offensive coordinator, played his college football here. Its coaching ranks included former Auburn head coach Terry Bowden and current Michigan head coach Rich Rodriguez--who was the leader of the Tigers in the summer of 1989, when the program was disbanded. This is Part II- Loss of a Program.
Who could ever forget Jack Deloplaine a great running back at Salem and made it to the pros with the Steelers. A hard nosed runner. And in basketball they had a guy their by the name of Archie Talley who was the best shooter I have ever seen play. Had they had a 3 pt. shot back in 75-76 his senior year he would've averaged 50 pts. a game.
