RIP Former UNT Coach Duke Atterberry

[Coach Andy Mac]

A lineman from Pawhuska, Oklahoma, Atterbury played for OSU head coaches Floyd Gass and Dave Smith in the early 1970s and earned a reputation for his relentless effort before an injury ended his playing career. As a high school athlete, he was a standout in football, wrestling and track, earning all-state honors on the gridiron.
 
From OSU, he went on to become a respected football coach with a 48-year career that included stops at high schools in Big Spring, Texas; Sand Springs, Oklahoma; Tyler, Texas; Liberal, Kansas; and Ada, Oklahoma; as well as time at the collegiate level with North Texas.
 
Most recently, he was an admired member of the staff at his hometown Pawhuska High School, serving as head coach for many years before helping with the offensive line during his final season.
