MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) -Former West Virginia football coach Don Nehlen is recuperating at Morgantown’s Ruby Memorial Hospital after undergoing triple heart bypass surgery.
Nehlen’s son-in-law, former NFL quarterback Jeff Hostetler, says Nehlen underwent surgery Tuesday following routine testing. Hostetler says Nehlen’s recovery is going well.
Nehlen is West Virginia’s winningest football coach with a 202-138-8 record in 30 seasons. His 1988 and 1993 teams had the only two perfect regular seasons in school history. He retired after the 2000 season and was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2005.
