Sure, his only championship was as the defensive coordinator of the Bears, but he was held in high regard around the league.
I remember I was shocked when I heard it.
unfair to Allen but he wouldn't listen
yes he was held in high regard ... but being honest he was 2-7 in the postseason, both wins in 1972 ...
Knox was 3-5...neither one good so Allen was no Shula or Noll coming in, guys who "knew how"
to get a team over the hump
Weird year...and then the disappointment of being blown out by Cowboys again
Also keep in mind that Allen was never hired again until the USFL came calling, so the fact he became intolerable might be correct. In the end, the Rams had opportunities for Bill Walsh, Don Coryell & Dan Reeves and IMHO, those would have been better options then Ray Malavasi, taking nothing away from Ray with the 1979 run.
