Head Coach
"The man who can turn it around. He did so in Los Angeles, changing the Rams from a 6-7-1 team into a 12-2 division champion- the first of five straight NFC West titles in Los Angeles. But Knox was called conservative by the media. The late Carroll Rosenbloom would have been called for interference by Knox, who decided to get out first.
He moved on to Buffalo- he ran, not shuffled- where he not only is head coach, but runs the entire football operation. He took over a 3-11 team, made it 5-11 the next year and 7-9 last year without a running game. Knox has drafted well- Terry Miller, Jerry Butler, etc.- and should be a stronger force in the AFC as time moves on. When and if Tom Cousineau returns from Canada will determine how much better the Bills become.
At any rate, Knox has found the happiness in Buffalo he never really had in Hollywood."
-Dave Newhouse, The Complete Handbook of Pro Football, 1980 Edition
