[Husker] Francis Allen Retires

[Mike Jaixen]

"Allen will retire after 40 seasons as the Huskers' head [gymnastics] coach, making him the longest tenured head coach in Nebraska history.

His eight NCAA titles are also the most of any head coach in the history of Cornhusker athletics, and second among all men's gymnastics coaches in NCAA history. The 66-year old Allen was the youngest head coach nationally in men's gymnastics upon his hiring in 1969, and retires as the oldest coach in the nation."
