Now, he presumably faces a decade of waiting under Knudsen-and one of Detroit...
...three Michigan schools for the next eight years, during which time he received a Masters in physical education from Purdue in 1956. In 1960, he was named offensive line coach at the University of Detroit, a position he held until January, 1962, when he came with head coach Jim Miller to Boston College...
