Ep. 3 - Don Nehlen: WVU Hall of Fame Coach

Join Tony Caridi for a rare, in-depth conversation with WVU Hall of Fame coach Don Nehlen. As he approaches his 90th birthday, Coach Nehlen reflects on his life, his emotional journey as a caregiver for his late wife, Merryann, through her battle with Alzheimer's and how it put his "addiction to football" in perspective. Nehlen also gives his unfiltered take on the current state of college football, lamenting how the "frenzy to win" and the transfer portal have negatively impacted the player-coach relationships that he values most. He shares incredible stories, including his strategy to target the quarterback, the secret, unpracticed play call that beat Pitt in 1983, and his candid thoughts on Joe Paterno and the Sandusky scandal. Ultimately, Nehlen reveals the legacy he's most proud of, not the wins but changing his players' lives and building a national power "the right way."
