"He taught me how to believe in people as a coach."

P.J. Fleck remembers his college coach, @NIU_Football icon Joe Novak, who passed away at 81.

[NIU Football @NIU_Football]

A true mentor, leader and friend…who taught us all how to live #TheHardWay

Rest in peace, Coach Novak. Your legacy will never be forgotten.

[Coach Harley @robharley34]

Coach Joe Novak didn't just build a winning football program at NIU - he built men of character, set a new standard of excellence & forever changed the trajectory of Huskie football. Praying for the Novak family.

Rest in peace, Coach Novak. Your legacy will never be forgotten.
