Dan Simrell (1990)

Abstract/Description:	Dan Simrell became UToledo's winningest football coach in 1989, beating Frank Lauterbur's team's victories by one.

Bar owner Arnie Elzey (pictured) secured 22,500 signatures for a petition to rehire Simrell. The story even appeared in the January 1, 1990 issue of Sports Illustrated.
