Comments From Stanford Athletic Director Ted Leland Regarding Jack Elway

"I was very saddened to hear the news of the passing of Jack Elway.He was a cherished member of the Stanford family and one of ourfinest head football coaches. In his five seasons at Stanford, Jacktook a team that had not been to a bowl game in 15 years and turnedit into one of the top programs in the nation. His 1986 Gator Bowlteam was one of the best in Stanford history. Throughout his collegecoaching career, Jack proved to be an innovator, a motivator, a coachwith the highest integrity and a committment to student-athletes. Ourthoughts and prayers are with the Elway family."
