A lot of moving parts in 1978

June 13, 2023 01:07PM
Walsh and Rams spoke---and it would have cost Rams $$$ to get him

At the time-Knox had not yet been fired, though Carroll never would admit to firing
always said "mutual parting of ways"

At the time Lions looking for a coach and Carroll was trying to get them to sign Knox
so he could get some compensation- draft picks but they waited and got Monte Clarke

Walsh said at the time that all he'd talked to Klosterman about was "players" available
in draft, but it was clearly more than that.

They wre being coy, I think, because of Walsh being under contract.

When Allen was fired then Carroll became enamored with him . . . while Klosterman
and others wanted new blood

Not sure how Walsh got out of the mix but he and Coryell were eliminated.

  Maybe.... but I doubt it... Georgia and John Shaw wouldn't write the paychecks.

  The question is was Knox fired or did he resign?

  The Goal Was To Open up the Offense & CR Hired Allen.

den-the-coach40June 15, 2023 02:32AM

  Allen made all sort of promises about opening up the offese.

  Yeah I think I heard that, too. Allen traded him but it got revoked by Rosenbloom

JimYoungblood5330June 16, 2023 07:10AM

  Just looked at article--I misread it...it said they used "Similar" defense
