I was looking at this article last night after doing a search on "Don Coryell Coaching Tree". What surprised me was the extent of Marty's influence. (I would have posted it but as a relative newcomer I did not want to risk a verbal beat down like that young kid was getting yesterday)

Also, TAFKAS mentioned the Allen/Vermeil connection. I heard that Allen was on the sideline at Veterans stadium in 1981 rooting the Eagles on against the hated Cowboys. I also found that Sid Gillman was Vermeil's quarterback coach in Philadelphia. A copy of his Eagles playbook is (or was) on sale at EBAY.
