	Whenever I put together a quiz with a static set of facts (the first coaches just are who they are) I never really know what I'm going to get. In this case, I was pleasantly surprised by the mix of easy (George Halas, Curly Lambeau), reasonable (Paul Brown x2, Don Shula x2), potentially guessable (Weeb Ewbank, John McKay) and just downright hard that this quiz presented. Hopefully, it'll be fun for fans of NFL history at least.

	good quiz, but cut down the time some because after you get the ones you can figure out, there's enough time left to just try each remaining team until you get them right.

	I agree with amwoods, primarily because that's just what I did and still finished with 2 minutes left. Great quiz though

	great quiz, you are correct in your statement above! it still amazes me how great tom landry was, an absolutely amazing coach. even today when coaches arent allowed to wear suits i think of tom landry standing on the sideline in his suit with his hat. the suit and hat became what a professional looked like to me not because of ibm or corporate america but because that is what tom landry wore.

	Time reduced to seven minutes. @alleycat9- It was fascinating to me to see the teams (like Dallas) where a coach took over early and held, on or the coaches (like Shula and Brown) who were among the early coaches for more than one team.

	It's crazy that both teams Jimmy Johnson coached he took over for someone who had been there over 25 years.

	Great quiz. I did the ones I knew, took educated guesses on most of the others, then couldn't figure out the one I had left out before time ran out. But that's okay. I think it is a good challenge

	Wow, I'm a Bronco fan and was still part of the majority of people who didn't know that one. I guess thats what happens when the first 15 years or so of the teams history are so forgetable. They played before Red Miller's Orange Crush teams?
