"His teams were known to be very predictable and he had some real embarassing losses to the likes of CMU (2), Rutgers and Army to name just a few."

"He is also rumored to have great affection for Barbequed Ribs"

The article wasn't actually protected (which an admin must do), it just had the protection template on it (which does nothing). So you can edit the article yourself :-)--Commander Keane 16:51, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been morphed into a tribute to Mr. Perles. Please remove numerous examples of one-sided and editorialized content. Brad Halls 05:29, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, there is a factual error. In the USFL section, the last line reads "The Stars subsequently hired Jim Mora to coach the team assembled by Perles, which went on to win the first USFL Championship in 1983."

According the the USFL Wikipedia page, the Michigan Panthers won the first USFL championship in 1983, beating the Philadelphia Stars 24-22. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Briawill64 (talk • contribs) 13:22, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good article, but it leaves a few things out. For instance, he tended to lose most of his non-Big 10 games, and then finish strong in the Conference. Further, no mention of the constant string of off-field problems with players like Blake Ezor. As for his successful extortion of the AD job, it was opposed not just by DiBiaggio, but also by the Faculty, Staff, Alumni and Students. But of course he had to make such demands because of his overpowering love for the school. Finally, I'd like to see more information about the 1994 sanctions. While the article is good, it doesn't detail the offenses. I for one don't recall them, since by then I had sworn off the University in protest of Perle's continued employment.

His coaching career was more notable, but the only mention of this in the article was in the tags! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.234.93 (talk) 00:52, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
