    Was Al Davis a coach in 1969?

    Wasn't he commissioner of the AFL at the time? Madden was coaching the Raiders.

    No, looked it up. He was only commish for one year -- long enough to do the merger -- then went back to running the Raiders.

    What? I count 11 -- Lombardi, Brown, Shula, Ewbank, Noll, Stram, Landry, Gillman, Madden, Allen and Bud Grant. I am better than 90 percent sure all of them are in the Hall.

    I looked it up to see if we missed any and noticed three more of the coaches from 1969 are in the Hall as players. Name them

    Norm Van Brocklin was coaching the Falcons, right? And wasn't Tom Fears the first coach of the Saints? I'll go with him.

    Both are correct

    The Waners and Uptons went back-to-back. That's pretty cool.
