My immediate thought was Marty Schottenheimer,but I think I need to go back further.
So I'll say Hank Stramm?

Nope - not Stram.
Head coach we're talking here before someone decides to get smart ...

The word "smart" has never been associated with the forum before.
If there are any smart people,they need to be rounded up & shot.This is gross defamation of the stereo-type football fan!!
Ask my wife...she just thinks its for beer drinking,knuckleheaded men with a vocabulary of monosyllabic words & when I'm with the guys shes probably right.
New slogan for the NFL.
Football...brings out the caveman.

OK I'm as dumb as dumb can be.
Theres a 1 in 10 chance of getting this question right.
Sid Gillman springs immediatley to mind because hes dead,
let me rephrase that, he died recently so he springs to mind.

Gillman - nope.
I'm not an AFL statistician, but it may be less than 1 in 10 given that Stram won 2 titles ...

Friar Posted Oct 22, 2003
OK, I only know this because he has the least cool name in the history of AM FOOT:
Weeb Ewbank
Also, I think his name pops up in the movie 'Diner' because of the baltimore Colts thing.
But i'm pretty sure it's Weeb. Jeez, he sounds like a game show host.
Friar

Was he a short round bloke with no legs,and arms that were moulded into his sides?
Did he wobble but not fall down?
