During two memorable stints as head coach, ‘Nellie’ left an indelible mark on our franchise with his approach to the game. ___“When I think of Nellie, I’ll always think of the ‘We Believe’ team and our incredible run in 2007. I’m thinking of Joy and the entire Nelson family, remembering the happiness he brought to so many.” I’m going to miss him, and my thoughts and prayers are with Joy, Donnie and the entire Nelson family.”
