(CNN) -- Darrell Royal, the football coach who led the University of Texas to at least a share of three national championships in the 1960s and 1970s, died Wednesday in Austin after a battle with Alzheimer's disease. He was 88. Royal is the winningest coach at Texas, one of college football's biggest programs. He compiled a 167-45-5 record at Texas from 1957 to 1976 and helped offensive coordinator Emory Bellard introduce the wishbone option offense to the Longhorns and to college football in the late 1960s. He was also Texas' athletic director from 1962 to 1980 before being inducted in the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983. "No words are adequate to describe the impact Darrell Royal had on this state, the university, UT athletics and Texas football," Texas Athletics Director DeLoss Dodds said Wednesday. "He was simply the foundation, the beginning.
