Cradle of Coaches Archive Sid Gillman Collection Cradle of Coaches: Sid Gillman Page 1 Walter Havighurst Special Collections Miami University Libraries Cradle of Coaches Archive Sid Gillman Collection OVERVIEW OF THE COLLECTION Creator: The Walter Havighurst Special Collections Date Range: ca. 1955 - 2004 Quantity: 2.0 cubic feet Location: Closed stacks COLLECTION SUMMARY The Sid Gillman Collection forms a portion of the Cradle of Coaches Archive and includes 18 play books, spanning the length of his professional career. These play books were the personal working copies of Gillman and contain extensive original hand notes, drawings, magazine clippings, ideas written on slips of paper, etc. Most of the play books contain a “BOOK CONTENTS” page, which appears to be a recent addition (i.e., was not a part of the books during Gillman’s days). The play books in this collection are not ordered chronologically, nor do the numbers assigned to each play book (e.g., Book #10) follow any logical order. These idiosyncrasies are maintained in this collection. Several play books are autographed by Sid Gillman across the front page in blue felt-tipped pen. In addition to the play books, this collection includes biographical information about Gillman from several websites, a testimonial from a former colleague of Gillman’s, news clippings, and original reel-to- reel footage of the University of Cincinnati football team from the 1940s. Please contact The Walter Havighurst Special Collections (513-529-3323) at least two weeks in advance of your visit, if you wish to access the UC film. Completed: 5/20/2009 Cradle of Coaches: Sid Gillman Page 2 PROVENANCE OF THE COLLECTION Two Miami University alumni from Urbana, Ohio, Gerald Stout (’52), Nick Selvaggio (’88), and Gerald’s son, Steve Stout, donated the collection to the Walter Havighurst Special Collections. BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Sidney Gillman was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 26, 1911. He played end for Ohio State football in 1933 and for the Cleveland Rams in 1936. He took assistant coaching positions at Denison University, Ohio State, and Miami University from 1937 to 1943; becoming head coach at Miami in 1944, which culminated in an undefeated final season and Sun Bowl championship. Following a short assistantship under Earl Blaik at West Point, Gillman accepted the head coaching position with the University of Cincinnati. After ten years in college football, Gillman’s overall statistics were a phenomenal 81-19-2. Gillman made the move to professional football by becoming head coach (and later general manager) for the Los Angeles Rams (1955-59). In 1960, the team name was changed to the Los Angeles Chargers, and in 1961 they moved to San Diego (1961-71). From 1973-74 Gillman coached the Houston Oilers. Throughout his professional football coaching career, Gillman lead the Rams to one NFL championship and the Chargers to five AFL title games. Following his many years as head coach, Gillman consulted for the Philadelphia Eagles, New Orleans Saints, Washington Redskins, and the Los Angeles Express (USFL); not retiring until the late 1980s. Gillman is credited with transforming the passing game by employing deep downfield passes, referred to as the West Coast offense. Additionally, he was the first to use film to review play strategies and execution, to place players’ names on the backs of their jerseys, and is credited with conceptualizing the Super Bowl four years ahead of the first AFL-NFL championship game. Gillman was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1983 and into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989. He died peacefully at home on January 3, 2003 in Carlsbad, California at the age of 91. At the time of his passing, Sid left behind his wife of 67 years, four children, eight grandchildren, and three great- grandchildren.

  • Sivert Has Distinction of Oldest Vol Letterman
    UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE FOOTBALL Sivert has distinction of oldest Vol letterman Jim Sivert is more than a Vol for Life. He’s a Vol for a Long Life. The 94-year-old native of Gate City, Virginia, was recently informed he’s the oldest living Tennessee football letterman. Now living in the Memphis suburb of Bartlett, he’s 10 months older than former teammate Jim Miner. A versatile player at 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds, Sivert played blocking back, center and linebacker for the General Robert Neyland-coached Vols. He was even listed as quarterback on the team’s archives. The 1949 Tennessee Football Brochure had the following description of him: This veteran of all positions was shifted to blocking back in the spring and he fits in it as he would a “custom-made suit”…..He is a great defensive man, but his play of late indicates that he was made for a blocker…when he hits something gives. VIRGINIA PREP STAR Sivert played football as a running back at Shoemaker High School from 1940-42 before World War II changed his course. A 1942 Shoemaker program for their Oct. 16 game against Tazewell pointed out that he led the team in scoring to date with 34 points. The next highest player was Tommy Campbell with 20 points. “They cut out football at Shoemaker in 1943 because of World War II with the gas rations and tires,” Sivert said. “I got a scholarship to Fork Union Military Academy and was up there for the football season before I got drafted and had to go into service.” His senior year, Sivert scored four touchdowns to lead Fork Union to a 31-7 win over Staunton Military Academy in the state championship game.

  • The Debut of 6-Man Football
    The Debut of 6-Man Football at Coeymans High School [CHS] & Ravena High School [RHS] Seasons 1938 - 1943 Prepared by: Chuck Friday September 2008 Dedication Claude B. Friday Coeymans High School Class of 1927 The Debut of 6-Man Football Prologue The introduction of high school football in this community began in 1934 when the Coeymans High School fielded an 11-man team. One year later, Ravena High School [less than 1 mile away from Coeymans High School] introduced its 11-man football squad. Both high schools continued to play 11-man football until the 1938 season. Beginning in 1938 both Coeymans and Ravena high schools converted to the 6-man football format. Each high school had an independent football squad and the rivalry between the two schools was intense. In 1944 Coeymans and Ravena merged their school districts and fielded a single 6-man football team. Local high school football continued using the 6-man format until the 1958 season, when 8-man football was introduced. In the 1963 season 11-man football was, once again, reinstated. This paper attempts to capture some of the early history of 6-man football from the perspective of those years that Coeymans and Ravena competed against each other (i.e., the 1938-1943 seasons). The first three years of competition between these two schools (1938-1940) was captured by a young sports journalist named Fred (Doc) Martino. Shortly after the 1940 football season Fred left his journalist position and enlisted in the military. The last three seasons (1941-1943) that Coeymans and Ravena fielded separate teams are sparsely covered by the local newspaper.

  • 1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER the Following Players Comprise the 1967 Season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set
    1967 APBA PRO FOOTBALL SET ROSTER The following players comprise the 1967 season APBA Pro Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards.

  • The Ice Bowl: the Cold Truth About Football's Most Unforgettable Game
    SPORTS | FOOTBALL $16.95 GRUVER An insightful, bone-chilling replay of pro football’s greatest game. “ ” The Ice Bowl —Gordon Forbes, pro football editor, USA Today It was so cold... THE DAY OF THE ICE BOWL GAME WAS SO COLD, the referees’ whistles wouldn’t work; so cold, the reporters’ coffee froze in the press booth; so cold, fans built small fires in the concrete and metal stands; so cold, TV cables froze and photographers didn’t dare touch the metal of their equipment; so cold, the game was as much about survival as it was Most Unforgettable Game About Football’s The Cold Truth about skill and strategy. ON NEW YEAR’S EVE, 1967, the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers met for a classic NFL championship game, played on a frozen field in sub-zero weather. The “Ice Bowl” challenged every skill of these two great teams. Here’s the whole story, based on dozens of interviews with people who were there—on the field and off—told by author Ed Gruver with passion, suspense, wit, and accuracy. The Ice Bowl also details the history of two legendary coaches, Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi, and the philosophies that made them the fiercest of football rivals. Here, too, are the players’ stories of endurance, drive, and strategy. Gruver puts the reader on the field in a game that ended with a play that surprised even those who executed it. Includes diagrams, photos, game and season statistics, and complete Ice Bowl play-by-play Cheers for The Ice Bowl A hundred myths and misconceptions about the Ice Bowl have been answered.

Seay III - 2 - INTRODUCTION The Wild Bunch celebrates its sixth birthday in 2006. This revised playbook reflects the lessons learned during that period by Wild Bunch coaches on three continents operating at every level from coaching 8-year-olds to semi-professionals. The biggest change so far in the offense has been the addition in 2004 of the Rocket Sweep series (pp. 62-72). A public high school in Chicago and a semi-pro team in New Jersey both reached their championship game using the new Rocket-fueled Wild Bunch. A youth team in Utah won its state championship running the offense practically verbatim from the playbook. A number of coaches have requested video resources on the Wild Bunch, and I am happy to say a DVD project is taking shape which will feature not only game footage but extensive whiteboard analysis of the offense, as well as information on its installation.
