Re: Best HC, '33-thru-'65, that didn't appear in a LCG?

Jock Sutherland would be my guess too
Brooklyns last winning season was 1934. He got them to 8-3 and 7-4 in '40 and '41
Steelers were 5-5-1 and 8-4 under him in '46 and '47

Re: Last kickers/punters who were actual players

Also Pat Studstill of the Lions in the mid 1960s. In 1966 he led the NFL in receiving yardage.

I wonder if he is the only punter to lead the league in either rushing, receiving, or passing yards from 1960 on? I know Baugh and Luckman did it back in the day. Probably others back then too.

Re: Last kickers/punters who were actual players

Once the 40 man rosters came about, most teams had at least one specialist. The last team I can think of without any specialists was the 1968 Packers, who started the year with Jerry Kramer doing the kicking and Donny Anderson doing the punting. Though they had added a kicker by the end of the year...

Re: Joe Schmidt's time as Lions' HC, 1967 thru '72

I wonder what position (aside from kickers, punters, long snapper) has produced the fewest amount of NFL head coaches? I’m struggling to think of many WRs. Raymond Berry is the only one who jumps immediately to mind. Mac Speedie mid 60's Broncos Jim Dooley 68-71 Bears Ray Rhodes 95-99 Eagles and Pa...
