Steve Loney Head Football Coach

Steve Loney accepted the challenge of rebuilding the Eagle football program when he was named Morehead State University's tenth head football coach on Dec. 5, 1980. Loney was the logical choice to succeed a year ago as Lichtenberg resigned to join the University of Notre Dame as . As offensive coordinator at MSU for two seasons prior to his appointment, Loney helped the Eagles rank high in conference passing statistics. And following his first year at the helm of the Eagles, Laney's squad has shown im­ provement despite winning only one of its 10 contests last season. Four losses were by four points or less. The Eagle defensive secondary ranked in the top 10 nationally in pass defense, and MSU produced a second-team All-America choice in 1981. Loney has assembled a knowledgeable young coaching staff and his regional recruit­ ing efforts have produced an impressive list 1971 against Louisiana State and of additions to the Eagle roster. in the 1972 Liberty Bowl against Georgia Laney's drive for success is a direct re­ Tech. flection of his performance as an athlete.
