1973 Coaching Staff & Playoff Game

April 04, 2023 05:20AM
Quite an extensive coaching staff considering it was the early 70"s and the playoff game at Dallas was in Dallas because they rotated home field advantage in the playoffs even though the Rams had a better record then Dallas and defeated the Cowboys at the Coliseum in week 5 37-31 in a classic game where Harold Jackson caught 4 TD passes. BTW the 73 playoff game is on YouTube now too and John Hadl apparently hurt his back in week 6 against Green Bay and was not the same. In fact, in that playoff game Bart Starr was the analysist and he spoke how Hadl had not been as good the 2nd half of the season. For the record David Ray, who had a great year in 73, missed 3 makeable FG's game would have been totally different if he could have been better.

BTW if the Rams had defeated the Cowboys the Rams would have had home field advantage against the Vikings again because of rotation.

Head Coach...Chuck Knox
OC....Ken Meyer (49er HC 77)
WR Coach... Leeman Bennett (HC Falcons & Bucs)
Offensive Backfield Coach...Dick Vermeil (One year before UCLA)
Offensive Line Coach...Ray Prochaska

Defensive Coordinator...Ray Malavasi (HC Broncos & Rams)
Linebacker Coach...Tom Catlin (Wish he came back with Knox in 92)
Defensive Backs Coach....Jim Wagstaff
