Pat Mitchell dies

[ronfitch]

Former Cedar Falls High School head football coach Pat Mitchell died today.

Mitchell was an Iowa State Teachers College graduate and three-time letterwinner as a tight end and defensive lineman. In 2005, he was inducted into the UNI Athletics Hall of Fame. He coached at CFHS for 47 years, sent a lot of players to UNI and my guess is coached more victories in the UNI Dome than any coach ... by a wide margin.

Mitch was one hell of a great teacher.

Great, great guy. Still upbeat and friendly even as his health failed. The impact he had on students as well as football players was immense. Prayers to his family.
