Nagel then served as the athletic director at Washington State University from 1971 to 1976, and at the University of Hawaii at Manoa from 1976 to 1983. From 1990 to 1995, he was the executive director of the Hula Bowl, a college football invitational all-star game. ==Background== Nagel attended Los Angeles High School and played quarterback for the football team. He was a third team all-city selection his senior season in 1944. Nagel graduated in 1945 and enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where he was a three time letter-winner from 1946 to 1949 as a quarterback and halfback for the Bruins. Nagel played for head coach Red Sanders and was named all-Pacific Coast Conference and UCLA's Most Improved Player. He later earned bachelor's, master's, and law degrees from UCLA and was an assistant coach for the Bruins' football team. Nagel played one year of professional football, with the Chicago Cardinals of the NFL as a player and scout in 1953. In March 1954, he was hired as assistant coach at the University of Oklahoma, under head coach Bud Wilkinson. After a season in Norman, he returned to UCLA as an assistant for three seasons under Sanders, and then became the head coach at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City in January 1958, then a member of the Skyline Conference. Nagel was just 30 years old, the youngest major college head coach at the time. Nagel led Utah for eight years, from 1958 through 1965. In 1962, he turned down the Nebraska job that eventually went to Bob Devaney, the head coach at conference rival Wyoming. That year Utah joined the new Western Athletic Conference (WAC) as a charter member. Nagel compiled a 42–39–1 () record at Utah; his 1964 team was led by quarterback Pokey Allen, running back Ron Coleman, and receiver Roy Jefferson. They defeated West Virginia 32–6 in the Liberty Bowl, played indoors at the convention center in Atlantic City, and finished with 9–2 record. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ray Nagel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
