Yeah, I was surprised to find out that he was just short of his 78th birthday. Would have thought he was in his 60's by the time he went to Atlanta. He had a long run as a head coach from 1980 to 2003. The 98 Falcons team that made the Superbowl with Chris Chandler was an all time overachiever.
He tormented my guy Schottenheimer by coming out on the right end of a lot of close games.
