Coryell, Gibbs, and Madden...wow. All 3 were NFL head coaches, what? 5 years later?

I looked it up. 

1969 John Madden became head coach of the Raiders. 

1973 Don Coryell became head coach of the Cardinals. 

1981 Joe Gibbs became head coach of the Redskins.

QB, Don Horn, played for the Packers, Broncos, Chargers, and Browns. 
LB, Jeff Staggs, played for the Chargers and Cardinals. 
RB, Don Shy, played for the Steelers, Saints, Bears, and Cardinals. 
WR, Gary Garrison, played for the Chargers.
DE, Leo Carroll, played for the Packers and Redskins. 
DE, Huston Ridge, played for the Chargers.
DB, Bob Howard, played for the Chargers, Patriots, and Eagles. 

Not bad for a Division II team.   


 

 

 

 

SDSU has had 5 upper half NCAA berths in a row.

It was amazing how many guys SDSU was putting into the NFL in the late 60's and early 70's. 

There were only a handful of schools whom had more players in the AFL/NFL than the Aztecs in the late sixties/early seventies. An example of coaching players up. Was Ernie Zampese also on that staff or did he come later?

They had some tremendous staffs in those days (60-70s). Several went on to be NFL head coaches.
