If you haven't seen this, it's must-watch TV. Slight Vandy tie-in with Bill Belicheck's first staff at Cleveland and all the head coaches it has produced.
Bill Belichick's family tree:
Ozzie Newsome (Baltimore Ravens Executive)
Michael Lombardi (longtime NFL Executive)
NFL General Managers:
Thomas Dimitroff (Atlanta Falcons GM)
Scott Pioli (Kansas City Chiefs GM)
Mike Tannenbaum (New York Jets GM).
Jim Schwartz (Detroit Lions' head coach)
Eric Mangini (former-New York Jets & Cleveland Browns coach)
Nick Saban (Alabama)
Kirk Ferentz (Iowa)
Note: Saban was the coordinator in 1994 and Woody was the LB coach
Dowhower was the QB coach for the '94 browns. We arguably found the only fallout of one of the most successful coaching trees in NFL history and hired him.
One of the Lombardi's came on board with Dowhower. Steve Crosby joined the Vandy staff in 1998 based on his relationship with Woody.
