PrintPlease Take Note: This is the second-to-last TMBT of the summer before we start to get into the pre-season, unless something comes up and we need some filler. Next week I have something a little different in store for you guys, being as it is the last TMBT of the year. I just need some of my fellow admins to get in gear. (You know who you are.) With that in mind, I decided to take a different route today as well. Instead of players, this week we are doing coaches - not necessarily head coaches, but if a guy EVER coached a position for the Bills, he is eligible. So you are looking for coaches, not players, this week.
Mystery Coach 1
I attended Philander Smith college.
I played for the Packers, Rams, and Saints during my playing days.
I am a member of the Packers Hall of Fame.
I was a coach for the Bills under Marv Levy.
Mystery Coach 2
I played linebacker while attending the University of Houston.
I have been a head coach of five different NFL teams.
I had a cameo in The Waterboy.
I spent four years as defensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Mystery Coach 3
I was the architect of Denver's "Orange Crush" defense.
I was drafted by the New York Giants in Round 22, but chose to go into coaching instead.
I was fired from the Broncos by Dan Reeves.
My son now coaches for the Chiefs.
Mystery Coach 4
My only head coaching position was for North Carolina State University.
I was succeeded by Tony Dungy as Vikings defensive coordinator.
I coached the Bills for two seasons.
I played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Extra Credit
* What was the official name of the helmet pad that Mark Kelso and Don Beebe sported at times?
* The Bills had stationery and various other team merchandise showing a running player wearing a specific number, and it was not supposed to represent any specific person, so that number wasn't to be released for players to use. What number was it?

So what was the clue that gave away Wade Phillips for you?
No night spent pantsless is a wasted night.
Head coach for five NFL teams...
and looking back I know he went to Houston because of the History of the Bills write-up for this coming weekend.

Kelso wore the ProCap Eliminator, or something like that, I think. I don’t remember Beebe wearing it too.
I know #4 but will hold off

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
It went by a different name.
Did you cheat for #4 or did you know it?

Fine, the ProCap. That’s what it’s called. Here it is

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
That is the official name, I was looking for the nickname that Mark Kelso gave it. I didn’t realize that was a nickname and not the real name.
Mark Kelso, a free safety with the Buffalo Bills credits his wearing the ProCap, or, in his words, the "gazoo" helmet, for letting him play his last five years of professional football.

The question:
* What was the official name of the helmet pad that Mark Kelso and Don Beebe sported at times?
That’s what I was going with!

"As the governor of Louisiana once said, the only way Chris Kelsay can lose his job is if he got caught in bed with a dead girl or a live boy."
As I said; I didn’t realize that Gazoo wasn’t the real name.

So, as the next bit of trivia, who knows WHY Kelso called it that? Folks in their 30s or older ought to know, younger ones might, depending on what cartoons you watched as a child.

How could you not know, regardless of age?!?! I think everyone has seen that cartoon…at least I hope so.

No attempts for #4? Unless that is who Dyl thought was Chuck Knox….
No night spent pantsless is a wasted night.
No, I know that's not possible.
Ehh…you guys seem to be all really, really good at this. Do you let yourself look up answers, or do you just try it from memory?
His son has been all over football news for the last year

Even cheating, I had a tough time figuring that one out.
