    im surprised Lindy Infante was in lombardo / forrest gregg tree

    he was here in CLE 86-87 as offensive coordinator. darn good too

    i thought lombardi wouldve had a greater coaching tree legacy - but rather it mightve been the coaching tree

    from which lombardi came along with Tom Landry -NY Giants HC Jim Howell

    That is nothing that Lombardi did 

    Paul Brown’s name should be on the SB trophy

    Way to go Syd!!!!  Thanks for the research and sharing it with us!

    2 of the most forgotten guys that started so many family traditions of following the Cleveland Browns are Paul Brown and Otto Graham.  Not only that in a broader spectrum, as you touched on in your sequence of posts, is how many Hall of Fame careers for coaches and players got launched from Paul Brown.

    Every team in the AFC North has roots to Paul Brown.  Pitt has Noll. Baltimore has our 1st franchise. Cleveland started in 1946 with 10 consecutive appearances in Pro Football Championship Title Games and winning 7 of them before winning another one in 1964. Brown started the 2nd NFL franchise in Ohio over in Cincinnati. 

    It would be nice if there was some kind of annual award to honor Brown - maybe for the AFC Conference Champions?  Maybe they can add his name to the Lamar Hunt Trophy or give the NFL Coach of the Year a Paul Brown Award/Trophy.

    Once again, I'll add this:

    Paul Brown is the father of modern pro football. 

    But if my life depended on the outcome of one football game, I would choose Lombardi to be the head coach over Brown without thinking.

    In my opinion, it's impossible to compare and each were the best of their era.

    Don Shula.  When he had Bob Griese, he beat you into the ground with Larry Czonka, Jim Kick & Mercury Morris.  When he had Dan Marino, he passed you into the dust with the Super Dupers.  -  An hour ago I told my grandson of how Hue Jackson had first and goal on the Steeler one yard line in OT....and lost the game.   the inept bum

    ? And just when defenses were gearing up to stack the box - the Cleveland Browns traded a future HOF WR with 4.2/4.3 speed to Miami named Paul Warfield. Okay, I realize that's nothing compared to making Carolina invincible with Baker Mayfield.  But, it certainly gave opposing defenses the pick your poison challenge.  I don't know if anyone remembers this but there was a song someone wrote and sang imitating Howard Cosell called "The Game Plan to Beat Miami" using the 12 Days of Christmas format.  Cleveland came closer than anyone to beating that team so you know poppa Flugel wasn't just playing little 45 speed record for laughs in 1972.

    Try not to laugh too hard at this; but back in the day Syracuse put together a heck of a RB tradition with Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Jim Nance, Larry Csonka, Floyd Little, Joe Morris, Daryl Moose Johnston, etc.  Some might be thinking wasn't Brown a FB? That's a good question; but remember a big part of that position is blocking which isn't what he was born to do.  Those that actually watched him play know this better than I do - he was a very gifted RB with a lot of power too.  Popeye needed spinach to get energy and strength - Jim Brown just needed carries.  And why?   Because my dad said so!
