That's alright... When I cheated for what I thought was the missing man, I still missed Forrest Gregg.
Instead I thought Raymond Berry was the mystery man I was missing. Completely forgot that he HC'd the Patriots in '85 when the Bears dismantled them in the SB. But it turns out he retired as a player the year before the Colts lost to Joe Willie in SB3.
Anyway seeing Forrest Gregg begs the question:

Incorrect on the basis the Cowboys did not win back to back Super Bowls with 2 different Head Coaches. Switzer was Cowboys coach in 1994, Johnson won in 1992 and 1993, Switzer won it in 1995.
