Timeline

1931

Roy Lee Kidd (December 4, 1931 – September 12, 2023) was an American collegiate football league player and coach.

1947

Kidd took over a Madison-Model program that produced a 23–36–12 record from 1947 to 1955.

1950

He graduated from Corbin in 1950 after being chosen as a first team All-State football player for the 1949 season by The Courier-Journal of Louisville.

Kidd was signed to a football scholarship by Eastern Kentucky State College and played quarterback at the Richmond school from 1950 to 1953.

Kidd actually turned down a scholarship to play for Bear Bryant at the University of Kentucky because his favorite sport was baseball and the football coaches at Eastern Kentucky were willing to let him play both sports.

Kidd received four varsity letters in football and baseball at Eastern.

1953

He established a dozen records as quarterback of the Maroons (each of these has since been tied or broken), was an All-Ohio Valley Conference selection, and was honored as a "Little All-American" choice in 1953.

Kidd was also a star center fielder for Eastern, bettering the .300 mark four consecutive seasons.

1954

Kidd served as a student assistant on the staff of Glenn Presnell's 1954 Eastern team which went undefeated, won the OVC and lost 7–6 to Omaha in the Tangerine Bowl.

1955

In 1955, Kidd was hired as the assistant basketball and head baseball coach at Madison Central High School in Richmond, Kentucky.

1956

In August 1956, A. L. Lassiter, the superintendent of Richmond city schools, offered Kidd the position of head football coach at Madison-Model High School.

Kidd accepted and spent the next six years as coach of the Royal Purples.

He led the Purples to a 54–11–1 record from 1956 to 1961.

His 54 wins rank him as the third winningest coach in Madison football history behind Lassiter (86 wins in 20 years) and Monty Joe Lovell (77 wins in 11 years).

Kidd's .818 winning percentage is the best in Richmond Madison football history.

His first team (1956) reeled off nine wins to finish the regular season undefeated and collected the most wins of any Madison team since the sport was initiated at the Richmond high school in 1921.

They captured three Central Kentucky Conference (CKC) titles, in 1956, 1960 and 1961.

1957

The Royal Purples were Recreation Bowl champions in 1957 and 1961.

1959

Under his tutelage, Madison-Model put together a 27-game winning streak (1959–1961) and was not scored upon in 15 consecutive regular season games during that span.

1960

Model discontinued its partnership with Madison after the 1960–61 school year and Kidd coached Madison for one season, 1961–62 school year, before moving to the college level.

Madison-Model went 11–0 in 1960, but, under a controversial point system, was not awarded a berth in the state playoffs.

1961

Kidd was chosen Kentucky High School Coach of the Year in his last season (1961) as his Purples went 13–1.

Madison finished as the Class AA state runner-up to Fort Thomas' Highlands High School that season as Kidd's squad fell to the Bluebirds 12–0.

Future college and NFL coach, Homer Rice, coached Highlands.

1962

In 1962, he was hired as an assistant coach at Morehead State College.

The next year, he ventured back to Richmond to serve as an assistant coach at his alma mater and served under his mentor, Glenn Presnell.

1963

After the 1963 season, Presnell retired and Kidd was hired as Eastern's head football coach 1964.

1964

He served as the head coach at Eastern Kentucky University from 1964 to 2002, compiling a record of 314–124–8.

1967

In 1967, Kidd led the Colonels to the first of 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles during his tenure, as well as a victory in the Grantland Rice Bowl over Ball State.

1978

After being classified in the new Division I-AA (now Division I FCS) in 1978, EKU and Kidd made appearances in four straight national championship games, winning in 1979 and 1982, and finishing as runner-up in 1980 and 1981.

Following the national championships, Kidd's teams never suffered a losing campaign.

He led the school to 18 playoff appearances, including a stretch of making the postseason in 16 out of 17 seasons.

All told, Kidd led the Colonels to 16 Ohio Valley Conference titles and a national record 17 NCAA Division I-AA playoff appearances.

He won the OVC Coach of the Year honor ten times and was twice honored as the NCAA Division I-AA national coach of the year.

1979

Kidd's Eastern Kentucky Colonels won NCAA Division I-AA Football Championships in 1979 and 1982 and were runners-up in 1980 and 1981.

His 314 career victories are second-most in NCAA Division I-AA/FCS history, trailing only those of Grambling State's Eddie Robinson.

2003

Kidd was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a coach in 2003.

Kidd was a star football, basketball, and baseball player at Corbin High School in the Whitley County portion of Corbin, Kentucky.
