Steve Sloan dies at 79: Ex-Ole Miss coach won two national titles as player under 'Bear' Bryant at Alabama - CBSSports.com

 

Not sure why our alma mater wasn't listed, but he was the AD for my first few years here in Denton while I was a student. Even got to do an interview with him for a communications class when I was a sophomore. He admitted to me that day in his office that the administration just didn't support sports enough to compete with the schools in the SWC back then and that it was really frustrating.

It is weird that his stint at North Texas was omitted.  Didn't he go to UCF right after us?  I think that's when the program there really started to get going.

As I recall, UCF was an unknown commodity.  Some of us wondered why Sloan would leave NT for UCF (who ?)  I recall giving him a can of Virginia Diner peanuts (yum) as an inducement to stay.  Didn’t work.  Sorry to hear of his passing.
