Weeb Ewbank (May 6, 1907-Nov. 17, 1998)
Hall of Fame coach, Baltimore Colts and New York Jets
"Ewbank won't go down with the Lombardis and Halases because he didn't often have the players to
win with. When he did, though, he produced. Few coaches ever understood their players or their
times as well as Ewbank did. I once asked Weeb how he developed Joe Namath and John Unitas
with the Colts. 'Everything was there,' he said. 'I just fine-tuned it.' "
