Corky Nelson didn’t have the best facilities or the biggest budget during his tenure as North Texas’ coach during its stint in what was Division I-AA in the 1980s. What Nelson did have was access to was the fertile recruiting grounds in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and a group of players who bought into his philosophy of hard work and not backing down from anyone during his tenure from 1982-90, not even teams like Texas. That combination helped the Mean Green win the Southland Conference title in 1983 and advance to the I-AA playoffs three times under Nelson, who was part of a six-person class that was inducted into the UNT Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday before the Mean Green’s spring game. Jim Cooper, Scott Hall, Heather Hutyra, Ernie Kuehne and Cody Spencer rounded out the class. “I was demanding,” Nelson said. “I felt like that is what it takes to win and be successful.

There were people who said Hall shouldnt have gone in on because he really wasnt all that great. Well, UNT has finally acknowledged that he was great. Hall ranks fourth in school history in passing yards with 5,975, first in passing efficiency at 132.26 and third in touchdown passes with 50. Ive had people argue with me that it was UNTs running game that made the Mean Green go in that era. Thats true, but what great player hasnt had people around him that made him better? Ive had people argue with me that Hall wouldnt have been good enough to be a Hall of Fame player at another school. Maybe, but UNT isnt Texas. Hall was great for the school and the era he played in.
