Pro Football in the 1970s is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.

EPISODE SUMMARY

Perhaps no other era in the sport of pro football has seen the renewing and regurgitation of head coaches quite as much as what we are witnessing in this current era. It seems that when a head coach gets fired in the 21st century, his next opportunity to wear a headset on the sidelines is just around the corner. But did you know that during the 1970s, head coaches were moving around from team to team almost as often? It’s true!

This episode of Pro Football in the 1970s does not necessarily contain the best head coaches to go from one team to another during the decade. But it does contain the most noteworthy head coaches who traded one team’s colors for another. Let’s start at the beginning of the 1970s, and at the pinnacle of victory, which was simply put as winning the Super Bowl.
