I thought he did a decent job, one of my favorite games was a Redskins/Dallas game that the skins lost by one point in 1979 (the one that forced Riggins to retire). Overall I liked Pardee, he's a good man.

Very sad news. I agree, he was a solid coach and a good man who just didn't have enough good players. That 79 game against Dallas seemed to carry over into the 80 season. Oddly I remember a game against San Diego in which they were heavily favored and we beat them pretty good. And guess who the OC was for San Diego?
