The man is 80 and still getting it done on the sidelines.

Wow! 80 already?! I still remember him playing cornerback for Detroit in the 60's with guys like Joe Schmidt, Alex Karras and Lem Barney. he was a helluva player too.

I remember him as a player, although that was when I was a grade schooler. Work many years in his hometown of London, Ohio.

yes, he called one hell of a second half yesterday.

It's a shame he never got another chance to be a HC after his rough 3 year run in Cincinnati. Great DC. 44 years as a coach is a crazy career.

Isn't he still the Lions all-time INT leader? Thought I recalled hearing that.

Yeah, he had 62 career picks. I think he's top 10 (maybe 15) all-time.

I recall a guy like that... 80-ish and still leading a contender
