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.”

In early January, the renovations o Wells Hall were completed. During the January University’s Speech Video,
