JERR Y BRUNER

Jerry Bruner, formerly the
Offensive Co-ordinator at

upcoming 1982 Canadian
Football League season.

Indiana, Bruner is a
graduate of Florida State
University, and did his post-
graduate work at Kansas
State University in the field
of Secondary Education.

He began his college
coaching career at Kansas
State as the Assistant Of-
fensive Lime coach in 1968
and 1969. He moved to the
staff at West Virginia
University as the Offensive
Line Coach in 1975, where
he spent five seasons.
