26CornerBlitz Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) @rolandsmartin Former Houston Cougars and Houston Oilers head coach Jack Pardee has died. Was a very nice man; well-respected by his players. RIP, Jack Edited April 1, 2013 by 26CornerBlitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 He was a good player too. I had his card back in the 60's when he played LB for the L.A. Rams. Rams were my team back in those days. Helluva football career. I believe he coached in the USFL too and he made the college hall of fame back in the 80's. Football lost a good man today. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullim4 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 All I remember about the guy was that he was the Oilers head coach when Buddy Ryan punched Kevin Gilbride during that one game against the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the funniest sideline incidents I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 All I remember about the guy was that he was the Oilers head coach when Buddy Ryan punched Kevin Gilbride during that one game against the Jets. And of course he was the Oilers head coach when we defeated them in the Greatest Comeback in NFL History. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExWNYer Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 All I remember about the guy was that he was the Oilers head coach when Buddy Ryan punched Kevin Gilbride during that one game against the Jets. He was also the predecessor to Joe Gibbs in Washington, guiding the team to three consecutive 3rd place finishes and an overall record of 24-24. R.I.P.

bbb Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 He also played on George Allen's Over the Hill Gang teams with the Redskins..........It must have been pointed out during the Comeback game era, but I would think Marv must have been on the coaching staff when he played. I wonder why the Over the Hill idea worked for Allen, but not for the Dan Snyder Redskins of Bruce, Deion, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
