San Diego State opens its first season in snappy-new Snapdragon Stadium Saturday vs. Arizona, and chances are there will be an Aztecs assistant or player on the grounds who one day will be an NFL or college head football coach.Alums include Paul Brown, who I remain convinced was the greatest coach, winning national titles at every level, and Weeb Ewbank, John Harbaugh and Sean McVay won Super Bowls. Sid Gillman is in the Hall.
OK. Don Coryell, now near a sure thing to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame, stepped onto Montezuma Mesa in 1961, and of course went on to coach the professional Cardinals and The NFL Team That Used To Be Here — you know, the Judases/L.A. Lodgers. And I can’t get by without mentioning offensive guru Ernie Zampese, recently honored by the Hall of Fame as one of the all-time assistants. He coached DBs for Don at State, then piloted the Air Coryell offense before doing the same as OC and winning a Super Bowl with Dallas.
