3 unusual facts about Player-coach


Player-coach

More modern players have acted as player-coaches in an unofficial capacity, such as journeyman quarterback Steve DeBerg, who served as an unofficial mentor for younger, more skilled arms while also serving as their backup.

During the 1920s, legendary player-coaches in the NFL include Curly Lambeau (who played for the Green Bay Packers from 1919-1929, and served as their head coach from 1919-1949) and George Halas who held similar roles for the Chicago Bears, a team for which he was also part-owner and business manager.

As professional football became more respectable, and began to make more money, player-coaches (especially head coaches) became quite rare, though as late as the mid 1950s, Tom Landry played and acted as the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants.
