Jennings 2 Head Football Coach Stan Sheriff Football's Centennial Year is 'Decade Year' for head coach Stan Sheriff. He's starting his tenth season a.s head man of the P anther g rid fortunes. Sheriff moves into the tenth season with an impressive 57-27-2 nine-year record. Few college coaches have had a more success­ ful beginning. After two seasons as head assis­ tant (1958-59) Sheriff took over for the 1960 sea.son and came up with an unbeaten year in nine regular season games. Riis first collegiate coach­ ing loss came in UNI's first post -season game that fall. UNI fell , 17-6, to Hillsdale in t he Min­ eral Water Bowl. Stan got that one back in 1964 when the Panthers whipped Lamar Tech 19-1 7 in the first Pecan Bowl game, signifying the NCAA College Division Midwest Regional championship. She1ii ff coached teams have won four North Central Conference titles (1960, 1961, 1962 and 1964). He's 41-12-1 in NCC play. He's produced six first team Little All-Americas and 30 all­ conference selections, including seven most-val­ uable player winner s. A native of San F rancisco, Sheriff played his collegiate ball at Cal Poly (San Luis Obispo) where he was an all-conference center for three straight years and first team Little All-America as a senior. He played in the 1953 East-West Shrine game and the Hula Bowl, later playing three years as a linebacker in the NFL. Sheriff graduated from Cal Poly in 1954 and received his M. A. degree from there in 1958. H is fi r st coaching experience came during a tour of Anny duty where he coached the 4th Infantry Division team to the European service title wi th a 10-1-1 record. Stan, and his wife J ane, have three sons, Paul, Michael and Richard. Stan is a member of the NCAA Football Coaches' rules committee. The Sheriff Record Season Won Lost Tied Pct.

He's in charge of both the offensive and defensive lines. He molded the defensive unit that this fall is expected to be one of UNI's finest in years. He also must come up with an offensive line that was splintered by graduation, losing four of the seven starters. Erusha has consistently constructed top-flight linemen, high­ lighted by first team Little All-America Ray Pedersen in 1967. Erusha gradauted from Coe College and coached in the high school ranks at West Union, West Branch, Mt.
