Don Nehlen has been coaching football for 22 years, and if he can ' t help the Mountaineers, no one can. I have a positive relationship with all the players, but I have trouble figuring some of them out. I just don ' t understand the losing syndrome. It took me about a month to figure out what they were going through. Their miserable attitude was the only prob- lem I had when I came here, so I had to do something fast, stated Nehlen. Well, Coach Nehlen didn ' t spark them to a victorious season, but he did spark them to a 6-6 record, which is better than the record of previous years. And, according to Nehlen, crowd response had a lot to do with it. I love the students ' attitude. They are really my kind of kids. Good look- ing students help attract athletes, Nehlen stated. Nehlen faced a few problems as the Mounties lacked depth going into a few games due to knee injuries. We just don ' t have the size or speed we need, Nehlen commented, but we ' re competitive and no one has beaten us easily. The 1980 squad practiced since August 10 for seven days a week. We were anxious to see how we ' d do on the field. We went in with 1 00 play- ers and came out with 87 injuries, but no one quit. This state is so hungry to win, but they don ' t know how. They just push the panic button. I wouldn ' t have come here if I couldn ' t win. Think positive! Don Nehlen came to V A U after holding the head coaching position at the Uni- versity of Michigan. He may push his men hard, always encourag- ing them to do their best, but he ' s always there to congratulate them. Don Nehlen 27
