LaVell and Patti: A duo that worked as one
There’s Batman and Robin, Bonnie and Clyde, and Bert and Ernie — but when it comes to BYU football, LaVell and Patti stand alone.
On an early September Friday night in 1995, as BYU prepared to host UCLA, LaVell Edwards received a call from his wife, Patti. Undeterred by his pregame cheer preparations, Edwards answered the call and reassured his wife, "I love you, too!" The team burst into laughter, appreciating Edwards' signature dry sense of humor. This was a testament to the inseparable bond between LaVell and Patti, who were always together, wherever life took them.
Patti, known for her wit and directness, played a crucial role in supporting both LaVell and other coaches' wives, even in her own absence. Their partnership was as legendary as their contributions to BYU football, forever remembered as "LaVell and Patti."
