The Kevin McDonald Show- Lengendary Coach Frosty Westering

In this powerful show Cliff Lindermann and I interview the great coach and wonderful man, frosty. Forrest "Frosty" Westering (December 5, 1927 – April 12, 2013) was an American football coach.[1] He served as the head coach at Parsons College (1962–1963), Lea College (1966–1971), and Pacific Lutheran University (1972–2003). His career mark of 305–96–7 is a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) record for most coaching wins, and he ranks ninth in wins among all college football coaches. Under Westering, Pacific Lutheran won four national titles (three NAIA titles and one NCAA Division III title). After Westering retired, his son Scott took over as head coach of the Pacific Lutheran football team. He still coaches football at Pacific Lutheran today. Frosty's daughter Sue Westering is a gym teacher at Gig Harbor High School, where she coaches the girls volleyball team. She also serves as an assistant to her brother at PLU.
