abstract:Jack "Jocko" Nelson (July 12, 1927 - November 20, 1978) was an American football coach. He coached football at Utah State University (1955-1957), the University of Colorado (1958), the University of Michigan (1959-1965), Gustavus Adolphus College (1966-1970), and for the Minnesota Vikings (1971-1978).
Islanders coach Jack Capuano made a rather unconventional lineup change by inserting the big forward Brock Nelson, a first-round draft choice three years ago, into his first NHL game Saturday.
