Yes. And I never knew that until last year when it was a trivia question. I did remember him as coach of the Bills but not the Patriots.

Oh wait.
Never mind.

Damn. That's too bad. He definitely was a pioneer of the modern game. Good man, good life. Thanks, Coach, for everything you did!

As the first Patriots coach, he would've been 37 years old. Put Josh in a whole new light, eh?
