American football player. Played three seasons in college at Nebraska, the last of which was truncated by a career-ending injury. Did not play in national championship games. Served as assistant coach at several colleges, and then for 26 years as high-school coach in Omaha, Nebraska. Fails criteria for automatic notability at WP:NGRIDIRON. Sources cited in article are mostly team rosters, overviews of games, etc., with no extensive coverage of subject. Google searches turn up several obituaries ([1],[2],[3]), an article stating that he had been inducted into the Nebraska High School Hall of Fame ([4]; one of 17 inductees that year), and a local article noting that a high-school football field was being named after him ([5]), but nothing suggestive of national notability.

Keep. He was an assistant coach for four Power Five conference programs: Washington State (1977), Missouri (1978-1982), Utah (1983-1984), and Kansas State (1985). He was offensive coordinator at Missouri. In his positions at those programs, he garnered sufficient coverage in reliable sources so as to pass WP:GNG. The coverage is not overwhelming but appears adequate under GNG. I added some such sources to the article. Examples of coverage include:this,this,this,this,this,this,and this.
