Jack Lengyel Autographs
Jack Robert Lengyel (born March 4, 1935) is an American software executive and former college football coach, college lacrosse coach, and athletics administrator. He served as the head football coach at the College of Wooster from 1966 to 1970 and at Marshall University from 1971 until 1974, compiling a career college football record of 33–54. At Marshall, he took over the Thundering Herd football program after the Southern Airways Flight 932 plane crash that killed nearly the entire team in 1970. Lengyel was the athletic director at California State University, Fresno from 1983 to 1986, at the University of Missouri from 1986 to 1988, and at the United States Naval Academy from 1988 to 2001. He served as the interim athletic director at Temple University in 2002, at Eastern Kentucky University from 2002 to 2003, and at the University of Colorado Boulder from 2004 to 2005.
Lengyel's family name means "Polish" in Hungarian. He graduated from The University of Akron where he was an assistant coach in 1959, and was a member of the Lone Star Fraternity (Pi Kappa Epsilon). In 1962, he earned a Master of Education degree from Kent State University. He was an assistant coach at Heidelberg College (1961–1962) and Cornell University (1963–1965) before becoming head football coach at the College of Wooster in 1966. At Wooster, Lengyel transformed a team that was 0–9 to winning consecutive games. He also coached lacrosse at Wooster for three seasons, from 1968 to 1970.
Lengyel was hired by athletic director Joe McMullen after head coach Rick Tolley was killed along with 37 players and 38 other coaches, university administrators, school boosters, and flight crew members in a plane crash on November 14, 1970. He was selected for the job after it was rejected by a Penn State assistant and an assistant from Georgia Tech turned it down. When Lengyel arrived at Marshall he was forced to recruit athletes from other sports (baseball and basketball) as well as allow a large number of walk-ons in order to rebuild the devastated football program. Although the team struggled in Lengyel's first season at the helm, it managed to defeat Xavier 15–13, scoring a touchdown on the final play of the game. His overall record at Marshall as the head coach was 9–33.
