George Allen

[LBrown43]

I remember him always licking his fingers on the side lines and being one of the biggest "cheerleading" coaches in the game. On the old NFL Fils you can always hear him shouting encouragement to a player or taking him off to the side and pointing out what he did wrong. He was so well known for his "The future is now" philosophy and for trading away the future but he knw what he wanted and got a lot out of the players many felt we done in the league.
He was a great guy with a big heart and he was the first coach I remember the Skins having. I have vague recollections of my dad being excited when Lombardi joined but George is the man who led them to the first Super Bowl and will be remembered as one of the organizations bigest personalities.
