2 Coaching Trivia Questions - TonyGraziani - 12-03-2010 06:48 PM
Since I keep winning Peyton's trivia, I figured I would do my own
Here it goes:
Question 1: What Falcons Head Coach was a former player for us?
Question 2: What two Falcons Head Coaches were also teammates during their playing career?
Rep points to the winner(s)

The first one was easy but the 2nd one wasn't. I knew Van Brocklin had to be one of them and that he played for the Rams but I also knew he was too old to have played with Reeves, that really only left Norb Hecker. I knew it sure as hell wasn't the Swamp Fox Marion Campbell or Pat Peppler, After that we get into younger guys, Leeman Bennet, Dan Henning etc...
As a follow up, who coached the Falcons to their first winning season, and with what record?

True, simple process of elimination

Wasn't it Van Brocklin that I saw (in old videos) pacing the sideline smoking a cigarette?

1971 was the first winning season, Van Brocklin was the coach, the record was 7-6-1 Bob Berry was the QB
