Head Coaches On The Sideline...An Instant Classic!

[@leondraw1766]

Man those were the best days of the nfl and we didn't realize it. I'm glad I got to enjoy it.

[@gidngord]

Thank you!

[@houstonrebel4449]

I personally believe the best days were in the 60s and 70s. But that's just my opinion. Could be just an age thing because I was born in 1967. But like you say "Didn't realize it", I wish I could have appreciated it more looking back, if I knew at the time that this was the best it's gonna be. Lol. Well yea, the 80s too. But 60s, 70s were the best. Thank you @gidngord for these classics. You can't even find them on Classic Sports Network anymore. CSN is not so classic.

Is it in reference to the fact that the average NFL career for players is three years?

[@houstonrebel4449]

@@GameShowMike Only 3 years? You sure that's not the average career for an average player?

[@houstonrebel4449]

@@GameShowMike If I'm not mistaken I think the number of players in the NFL is about 1700. Not including those on the practice squads. So I guess if you divide that by the number of players that stand out and have long careers, it may make sense.

1:57 "that's 3 holding penalties on one football team in a quarter and a half.... It ain't funny" 😂😂😂

[@houstonrebel4449]

[@houstonrebel4449]

"It seems that the harder we played, the behinder we got" -Bum Phillips, in regards to the 45-3 loss to the Steelers in the '78 AFC Championship.

[@NJGuy1973]

@@houstonrebel4449 Not to be a nitpicker, but it was 34-5.

[@houstonrebel4449]

@@NJGuy1973 You're right. It WAS 34-5. You're not being nit-picky. I'm a stickler for details myself. I remember 2 seasons later in 1980, the first game of the season, in Pittsburgh, the Steelers beat the Oilers 45-34 (If I'm not mistaken but pretty sure it was). It was a shootout after the Steelers took a 17-0 halftime lead. And then the 2nd time we played, on MNF, the Oilers won 6-0. Not 1 TD scored. Tony Fritch had 2 field goals. That was the only scoring. Completely the opposite from the 1st game. Anyway, we knocked the Steelers out of the playoffs with that game. So in a way, we DID kick the SOB in. "Looks like Bum Philips decided to kick the wrong door in" -Sam Rutigliano, Head Coach of the Browns, 1980. Because the Browns won the division and of course the Oilers got clobbered in the Wildcard by the Raiders who won the SB that year. 3rd year in a row we lost to the team that won the SB. At least we kicked the Steeler door in. Lol.

[@soylentteal]

I think of some of John McKay’s off-the-field gems along with this, including, “well, we didn’t block, but we made up for it by not tackling.”
