Summary

At age 83 Don Nehlen remains intimately linked to the game of college football.

True, it has been 19 years since he last coached a game, but West Virginia University's all-time winningest coach continues to be a priceless fountain of information on the game's past and its future.

Nehlen will forever be recognized as the architect who ushered in a golden era of WVU football. With midwest principles and West Virginia toughness, Nehlen inherited a program considered one of the nation's worst and led it to unparalleled success.

In this episode of Three Guys Before The Game, Nehlen provides a chronological narrative of a career he could never have imagined.
