Whenpeoplespokeabout Mel Tjeerdsma,theyoften
spokeabout his characterand how accomplished ofa
football coachhewas.
“CoachT’s eyes havebeenonthestars,but his feet
havebeenontheground,”President JohnJasinski said.
“Coachhas always held highexpectations ofhimselfand
others around him. But thebeautyofthemanis that his
feet havebeenontheground.”
Tjeerdsmawasoneofthemostsuccessfulandwell-
respectedcoachesinthehistoryofcollegiatefootball.He
turnedtheBearcatFootballprogramintoamodelprogram
forthecountry,andwasabletodosowithclass,common
senseandwithoutexcessiveproblemsotheeld.
Tjeerdsma announced his retirement fromBearcat
Football Dec.29,duringwinterbreak.
“I’mretiringfromcoachingstrictlyforourfamily,”
Tjeerdsma said. “Right now we[heand his wifeCarol]
havesevengrandchildrenand wejust haven’t seenmuch
ofthem. Wehopeto get to spend moretimewiththem
and that’s whyI’mdoingthis.”
Tjeerdsma had beenpart oftheBearcat familyfor17
years. Heled theUniversityto theplayos 13times in
thelast 15seasons,sported a 32-10overall past season
record and is the program’s all-timewinningest coach.
At thepress conferenceannouncinghis retirement,
Tjeerdsma talked about what reallysummarized his feel-
ings and that was a feelingofawe. He also talked about
thelogo onthefootball helmets,a paw print withan“N”
insideit,and what it meant to him.
“It’s reallybecomea symbol ofpridefora great Uni-
versity,”Tjeerdsma said. “Northwest is a great Univer-
sityand I thinkthat paw is somethingweall identifywith
now. You’vealways beenproud ofNorthwest,but I think
it’s givenyoua littlemoreidentity,but to me,thepaw is
a family.”
Tjeerdsma went onto sayhow a football teamwas a
family.
“A football teamis a family,ourcoaches,ourplayers,”
Tjeerdsma said. “I don’t thinkthere’s anythingthat rep-
resents familymorethanaftera gameat Bearcat Stadium,
whereyouseeeveryonedownontheeld. That’s what
it’s all about and that to meis what Bearcat Football has
beenforthelast 17years.”
Tjeerdsma and his wifere-located to Texas sincesix of
theirsevengrandchildrenwerelocated right around that
area. Tjeerdsma went onto tell ofhis hopes,futureplans
and to thankall the various peopleinvolved withmaking
his timeat theUniversitya pleasant one.
“I don’t thinkI’ll coachagain,”Tjeerdsma said. “I
neversaynever,but that’s not myplanright now. But
most ofall,myprayeris that God will continueto bless
eachofyou,ourfans,ourcoaches and continueto bless
Bearcat Football becausewe’vebeenblessed.”
