Dan Simrell (1990)
Abstract
Description
Dan Simrell became UToledo's winningest football coach in 1989, beating Frank Lauterbur's team's victories by one. When he was abruptly fired by athletic director, Al Bohl, there was a community outcry. T-shirts and buttons all demanded to "Bring Back Dan". 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.
