Sid Gillman
We owe a big thank you to Gillman’s insistence on stretching the football field by throwing deep downfield passes, instead of short passes to running backs or wide receivers at the sides of the line of scrimmage. This was instrumental in making football into the modern game that it is today. Gillman was head coach of the Los Angeles Rams (1955–1959), the American Football League’s Los Angeles and San Diego Chargers (1960–1969), and the NFL’s Chargers (1971), and Houston Oilers (1973–1974), amassing a career record of 123–104–7 in the National Football League and the American Football League. His 1963 San Diego Chargers won the AFL Championship. Gillman was inducted as a coach into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1983 and the College Football Hall of Fame in 1989. He is the sole coach in the history of American football to have earned both honors.
