Football Coach

The Resume

    (April 10, 1936-December 28, 2021)
    Former head coach of the Oakland Raiders
    Broadcaster for CBS, Fox, and ABC Sports
    Teamed up with Al Michaels on 'Monday Night Football' (2002)
    Spokesperson for Ace Hardware

Why he might be annoying:

    He suffered with anxiety.
    He was afraid of flying.
    He tended to root for the front runners and could come across somewhat idiotic while broadcasting.
    He overused the telestrator, drawing lines and circles on the TV screen to demonstrate plays, while shouting things like, 'BOOM!.'
    He insisted on serving 'six-legged turkey' to players participating in Thanksgiving Day games and offering his own crew 'turducken' (a chicken stuffed inside a duck that's, in turn, stuffed inside a turkey).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He retired with the best win-loss percentage of any NFL head coaches.
    He became a head coach at 32.
    He coached the Oakland Raiders for 10 years, never having a losing season.
    His team won Super Bowl XI (January 1977).
    He had a series of video games named for him.
    The Madden Cruiser, the bus on which he traveled, was widely recognized in the world of sports.
    A spot on the All-Madden Team is one of the most coveted all-pro lists in football.
