Coaching

After retiring as a player in 1978 Nahrgang joined the staff at his alma mater as an assistant, remaining with Michigan Tech until John MacInnes retired in 1982. Nahrgang was named as MacInnes' replacement and served three years as head coach before resigning in February 1985.{{cite news|title=Michigan Tech Huskies 2002 Hockey yearbook|url=http://www.cchockeyhistory.org/MTU%20hockey%20history.pdf|publisher=Michigan Tech Huskies|accessdate=2017-05-26}} During his tenure the Huskies declined each year and also moved from the CCHA back to their previous conference, the WCHA.
