  • Coach Steve Owen: the Great Innovator
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 4 (1996) COACH STEVE OWEN: THE GREAT INNOVATOR By Stan Grosshandler, et.al. (Originally published in part in Football Digest) Professional football has advanced from a simple to complex game. To a great extent, this is due to the imaginative genius of the coaches. In the early years the innovators were George Halas, Curly Lambeau, Greasy Neale and Jimmy Conzelman. Later Paul Brown and Vince Lombardi came along. Today [ed.: 1970s] we have Tom Landry, Don Shula, Hank Stram and George Allen to mention a few. Seldom mentioned; yet one of the great innovators of all time is Steve Owen, for 23 years the guiding genius of the New York Giants. Stout Steve came up with innovations like the A-formation and the Umbrella Defense. These were not only catchy names, but effective weapons. The Giants under Owen won eight division and two league championships. What is even more remarkable about Owen is that he stressed defense when few of his contemporaries did. His kind of football began with blocking and tackling. "Football is a game played down in the dirt and it always will be. There's no use getting fancy about it." Often criticized by Giants fans as ultra-conservative, he may have been the first NFL coach to elect to kick off to start a game. He often chose to go for a sure field goal rather than gamble for a touchdown, and that further upset New York rooters. Eventually, however, the rest of the league came around to his way of thinking.

  • Warren RABB by Jeff Miller
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 7 (2006) Bonus Issue Warren RABB By Jeff Miller The Buffalo Bills were entering their second year of their existence in 1961. The Bills' inaugural season of 1960 had been plagued by inefficiency at quarterback, with veteran Tommy O'Connell alternating playing time along with Johnny Green and the team's first-ever number one draft choice, "Riverboat" Richie Lucas of Penn State. The result? A less-thanstellar 5-8-1 record and a third-place finish in the AFL's Eastern Division. When the Bills opened training camp '61, Green was penciled in as the starter. But mid-way through camp, Green sustained a shoulder injury that forced the recently retired O'Connell back into action. Feeling somewhat insecure about their quarterback situation, the Bills' brought in an NFL castoff named Warren Rabb to bolster the depth chart. Rabb was a two-year starter at Louisiana State, and led the Tigers to an 11-0 record and the Southwestern Conference Title in 1958. LSU faced Clemson in the Sugar Bowl on January 1, 1959, and, playing part of the game with a broken handed, Rabb led the Tigers to a 7 to 0 victory and the National Championship. "I was running down the sideline and had the ball," Rabb recalls of the play in which he was injured. "The guy put his helmet right on the football when he tackled me, and 1 broke my hand pretty bad. 1 came out of the game and told the coach. 1 said, 'Coach, 1 think my hand's broken.' He looked at it and said, 'Aw, it's alright.' So we got back in the game, and we had an opportunity to try a field goal-35 yards or something like that.

  • 15 Modern-Era Finalists for Hall of Fame Election Announced
    For Immediate Release For More Information, Contact: January 11, 2013 Joe Horrigan at (330) 588-3627 15 MODERN-ERA FINALISTS FOR HALL OF FAME ELECTION ANNOUNCED Four first-year eligible nominees – Larry Allen, Jonathan Ogden, Warren Sapp, and Michael Strahan – are among the 15 modern-era finalists who will be considered for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when the Hall’s Selection Committee meets in New Orleans, La. on Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013. Joining the first-year eligible, are eight other modern-era players, a coach and two contributors. The 15 modern-era finalists, along with the two senior nominees announced in August 2012 (former Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Oilers defensive tackle Curley Culp and former Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins linebacker Dave Robinson) will be the only candidates considered for Hall of Fame election when the 46-member Selection Committee meets. The 15 modern-era finalists were determined by a vote of the Hall’s Selection Committee from a list of 127 nominees that earlier was reduced to a list of 27 semifinalists, during the multi-step, year-long selection process. Culp and Robinson were selected as senior candidates by the Hall of Fame’s Seniors Committee. The Seniors Committee reviews the qualifications of those players whose careers took place more than 25 years ago. To be elected, a finalist must receive a minimum positive vote of 80 percent. The Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee’s 17 finalists (15 modern-era and two senior nominees*) with their positions, teams, and years active follow: • Larry Allen – Guard/Tackle – 1994-2005 Dallas Cowboys; 2006-07 San Francisco 49ers • Jerome Bettis – Running Back – 1993-95 Los Angeles/St.

After winning six of the National Football League’s first 24 championships, the Packers won only 55 games, while losing 107 and tying 3, from 1945 through 1958. No wonder that Packer fans dwelt on the past, and the great legends of the past—Canadeo, Hutson, Herber, Hubbard, Hinkle, Dilweg, Lewellen, Isbell, Michalske, Lambeau. But the greatest legend of all was Johnny Blood, because he was not only a great football player, but also a colorful, flamboyant personality off the field. (His one-time teammate and fellow member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Clarke Hinkle, once said, “Next to Johnny Blood, Joe Namath looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy.”) I grew up in Green Bay during that period and, by the time I was thirteen and thinking of becoming a writer, I knew that someday I wanted to write a book about this legendary charac- ter.

  • All-American Flops!
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 1, No. 10 (1979) ALL-AMERICAN FLOPS! By Bob Braunwart & Bob Carroll PART 1: 1920-32 The All-America college star who flops as a pro has been a cliche since Willie Heston fell flat on his face with Canton against arch-rival Massillon back in 1905. From the time the NFL was formed (as the American Professional Football Association) in 1920, there have been quite a few All-Americas who failed to live up to their reputations when they turned pro. Indeed, one sometimes has the feeling that the bigger the college reputation, the smaller the professional achievement. But, is that impression accurate? As in-depth scouting has become the norm, the All-American flop has become a rarity. There still is the occasional Terry Baker but, more often than not, an All-America who really doesn't have the tools will be a low draft choice with little expected of him. The heyday for flops was supposedly before World War II. The first NFL era in most histories is the period from 1920 to 1932, before the league split into divisions. Therefore, we'll begin by checking the careers of those players named to reputable All-America teams from 1919 to 1931 inclusive. For a list of All-Americas, we used the Ronald Encyclopedia of Football which lists first team AA picks during the years in question for the following: Walter Camp (1919-24), Frank Menke (1919-20), All-American Board (1924-31), International News Service (1924-31), Associated Press (1925-31), Collier's (1925- 31), and United Press (1925- 31).

    For Immediate Release For More Information, Contact: January 7, 2012 Joe Horrigan at (330) 456-8207 15 MODERN-ERA FINALISTS FOR HALL OF FAME ELECTION ANNOUNCED Two first-year eligible nominees – coach Bill Parcells and tackle Will Shields – are among the 15 modern-era finalists who will be considered for election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when the Hall’s Selection Committee meets in Indianapolis, Ind. on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2012. Joining the first-year eligible, are 12 modern-era players and a contributor. The 15 modern-era finalists, along with the two senior nominees announced in August 2011 (former Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jack Butler and former Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins guard Dick Stanfel) will be the only candidates considered for Hall of Fame election when the 44-member Selection Committee meets. To be elected, a finalist must receive a minimum positive vote of 80 percent. Although technically a first-year eligible candidate, Parcells has been a finalist twice before (2001, 2002) following his announced retirement as head coach of the New York Jets in 1999. At the time the Hall of Fame By-Laws did not require a coach to be retired the now mandatory five seasons. Parcells returned to coach the Dallas Cowboys in 2003 and the five-year waiting period was in effect when he retired from coaching in 2006. The Pro Football Hall of Fame Selection Committee’s 17 finalists (15 modern-era and two senior nominees*) with their positions, teams, and years active follow: Jerome Bettis – Running Back – 1993-95 Los Angeles/St.

  • Quiz: Milestones
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 15, No. 3 (1993) QUIZ: MILESTONES By Bob Gill 1. Let's start with an easy one. He was the NFL's first 1,000- yard rusher, averaging an unbelievable 9.9 yards per carry in 1934 with the Bears. It was his rookie year, and he played through 1940; but a string of injuries limited this Tennessee All-American to only 975 more yards after his amazing debut. 2. In 1963 this end from Rice broke Don Hutson's career records for receptions and yardage, but it didn't get him into the Hall of Fame. He broke the records while wearing a Cowboy uniform, but most of his career was spent with Hutson's old team. One thing that hurt our man is that Raymond Berry broke his records soon afterward. 3. You may remember that Steve Young was the first man to gain 300 yards passing and 100 yards rushing in a single game; he did it in 1984 with the L.A. Express of the USFL. But more than three decades earlier, a Hall of Fame quarterback missed achieving that feat by a mere three yards when he passed for 298 yards (and four TDs) and ran for 99. What makes his effort really stand out is that it came in a championship game - one of the best ever played, in fact. Who are we talking about? 4. The first soccer-style kicker in pro football, he broke in with Buffalo in 1964. He bowed out ten years later, having scored 863 points and blazed a trail for many others to follow.

  • The Season of '41
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 13, No. 4 (1991) The Season of '41 by Stan Grosshandler On January second Stanford, using the resurrected T- formation, defeated Nebraska in the Rose Bowl illustrating the speed and deceptiveness of this formation. The following day the National Intercollegiate Football Rules Committee initiated unlimited substitution and recommended players be numbered according to their position. On the fourth, a Pro All-Star game was played at the Polo Grounds between the 1940 champion Bears and an All-Star team chosen from the rest of the NFL. The Bears won 35- 24. On January sixth President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed that when the war raging throughout the rest of the world ends all people should be guaranteed four freedoms: speech, worship, from want, and from fear. His new budget has 60% dedicated for national defense. In March the monumental Lend-Lease act allowing the U.S. to supply the Allies with much needed materials was passed by Congress. During the April meetings of the NFL Bert Bell and Art Rooney, co-owners of the Philadelphia Eagles announced they were trading franchises with Lex Thompson who had bought the Pittsburgh Pirates from Rooney the previous year. The entire rosters of each team would swap cities with the former Eagles becoming the Steelers and vice- versa.. Next, the league announced that Elmer Layden, coach and A.D. of Notre Dame, was appointed Commissioner. The old fullback of the Four Horseman would have powers equal to those of Baseball Commissioner Judge Kenesaw Landis. Baseball captured, and held tight, the attention of the nation as Joe DiMaggio compiled his incredible batting streak, Ted Williams attempted to become the first man in a decade to bat .400, and the Dodgers and Cardinals put on an exciting race for the National League pennant.
