in the final Coaches' poll. Coach Weeks won more conference championships – three – than any head coach in the history of New Mexico football. After starting his head coaching career 5–5 in 1960, Weeks and the Lobos embarked on the most successful four-year run in school history. In 1961, UNM finished 7–4 and won the Aviation Bowl with a 29–12 victory over Western Michigan. That success was followed by outright Western Athletic Conference titles in 1962 and 1963 and a shared conference title in 1964. From 1961 to 1964, the Lobos went 29–12–1 for the best four-season record in program history. Weeks was the school's winningest football coach until Rocky Long surpassed him in September 2005. Weeks stepped away from coaching after the 1967 season with a final record of 40–41–1. Rudy Feldman era (1968–1973) Rudy Feldman, previously associate head coach at Colorado, took over as head coach following Weeks' retirement. As head coach at UNM, Feldman compiled a record of 24–37–2. In his first season, the Lobos posted a winless 0–10 mark but two years later compiled a 7–3 record followed by a 6–3–2 season the next year. Feldman was reported to have accepted the Baylor head coaching position in December 1971, but Feldman changed his mind shortly thereafter, opting to remain with the Lobos. Feldman quit coaching after six seasons at the helm of the Lobos. Bill Mondt era (1974–1979) Coach Bill Mondt was promoted from assistant coach to head coach following Feldman's decision to walk away from coaching. Under Mondt, the Lobos compiled a record of 31–37–1 in six seasons. Mondt's two winning seasons came in 1975 and 1978, with records of 6–5 and 7–5, respectively. Despite only two winning seasons, the Lobos never had a record worse than 4–6–1 in a single season. Joe Morrison era (1980–1982) Joe Morrison came to UNM from UT-Chattanooga. Under his tutelage, the Lobos posted an overall record of 18–15–1, the best of which as a 10–1 record in what turned out to be Morrison's final season. In what turned out to be Morrison's final season, 1982, the Lobos enjoyed success as they posted one of the best records in program history, recording double digit wins, a rarity for the program that has seen its share of ups and downs. Morrison wouldn't remain to build on the Lobos momentum or build upon their successes. He departed New Mexico after three
