Bob Spoo has been a driving force at EIU for many years. He’s not only helped to produce amazing athletes, but has contributed to the personal growth of his players. I spent many a Saturday watching him coach and inspire people around him. ~ Shelby Greene
The winningest coach in EIU history, Coach Spoo has led the Panthers to eleven winning seasons in the last fifteen years. Over his 23 years on the EIU sidelines, the Panthers have made ten trips to the NCAA playoffs. A three-year Purdue letterman, Spoo later returned to his alma mater to coach quarterbacks who would go on to play in the NFL. Prior to becoming a mainstay in the college coaching ranks, he was one of the most successful prep coaches in Illinois.
