    Any Utah football historians on this oard?

    I was at a party tonight and spent a long time talking to a former Utah coach. It was loud in the room, and I didn't catch his name when we started talking so now I'm left trying to figure out who it was.

    Ray Nagel isn't LDS, is he? The gentlemen I talked to was about 80 years old, said he coached Utah from 1958-1964 and went to the Liberty Bowl in 64. I had the impression he was head coach, but that would make him Ray Nagel, and I don't think that was him. This guy also attended BYU as a student and coached Pleasant Grove High School to 3 undefeated seasons back in the day. He also mentioned he was associated with the athletic program at the U until 1994.

    Anyway, I had a great time talking to him. Anyone know who he is?

      Believe me, I googled. What doesn't match up is that Ray came out of southern California and played for UCLA. This guy specifically mentioned that he attended BYU - he was talkiing about how in the late 40's BYU only had about 2,500 students.

      That's why I wondered if he was an assistant under Nagel.

        In Ray Nagel's wiki page, it does say that Ray was a habitual liar.

          And he hated black people.
