J ennings 2 Sheriff Starts 1970s As Athletic Director There is something about the turn of the decade that Stan Sheriff likes. Ten years ago he opened the 1960s with a new title . head football coach. He still holds that position. Now we have the 1970s and Stan beg.ins his newest duties ... Athletic Director. Sheriff moves into his eleventh season with an impressive 62-32-2 coaching record. Few college coaches have had a more successful beginning. After two seasons as head assistant (1958-59) Sheriff took over for the 1960 season and came up with an unbeaten year in nine regular season games. His first collegiate coaching loss came in UNl's first rpost-season game that fall. UNI fell, 17-6, to Hillsdale in the Mineral Water Bowl. Stan got that one back in 1964 when the Panthers whipped Lamar Tech 19-17 in the first Pecan Bowl game, signifying the NCAA College Division Midwest Regional championship. Sheriff 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-valuable player winners. A native of San Francisco, Sheriff played his collegiate ball at Cal Poly (San L'uis 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. His first coaching experience came during a tour olf Army duty where he coached the 4th Infantry Division team to the Euroipean service title with a 10-1-1 record. Stan, and his wile Jane, 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 th.e 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 gradu­ ation, 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 graduated from Coe College and coached in the high school ranks at West Union, West Branch, Mt. Clemens, Mich., and Cedar Rapids Washington. Prior to his arrival at UNI in 1963 he was on the Coe staff. Don and his wife Pat have one daughter, Kay, a sophomore at UNI this fa!J. Erusha is to be given much of the credit for UNI's 21-19 victory over Drake in 1968 when he came up with an innovation in the line that gave the Panthers the domination in line play over the bigger Bulldogs and directly led to the win. DENNIS REMMERT - Remmert is one of three form­ er UNI players now on the Panther staff. He is in charge of coordinating the defensive platoon, sharing the defensive coaching responsibilities with Erusha. Remmert, at one time or another, has held most of the assistant coaching spots with UNI, handling the fresh­ men for several years. On the varsity level h e has been the offensive backfield and end coach before switching over to defense. During his playing days he earned Little All-America honors as an offensive tackle. He graduated in 1959 and after a short pro career joined the Panthers as a graduate assistant.
