Bless you coach Knox

I'm going to speak quiet so you listen hard

Don't tell me how rough the waters are just get the boat to shore

I remember Patera, but Knox was the coach when I really became a fan. Love that guy, and those are my favorite years as a fan as I was just a kid getting into the NFL.

It does suck to see him like that.... but It's kind of cool to see Jack Patera doing pretty well.

Thanks for sharing this. I hadn't seen this interview. Jack was an old-school taskmaster but they all were back in those days. In a way, I believe his early successes cost the team talent but they were fun to watch. Plus with them picking folks like Andre Hines, getting higher draft choices doesn't mean they would have gotten it right.

Still cannot believe Knox passed up the chance to trade for Elway to get Warner, but that was Ground Chuck. As much as he tried to replace Krieg getting Elway may have put this franchise on a different early path.

Good to see both of these gentlemen getting around and still enjoying life.

Yeah, thinking about Elway here, man, I wouldn't have grown up being the only Seahawks fan in my school. I would've grown up with nights like this, routinely. That's just a trip to think about...Seahawks had a shot to get the baddest QB to ever walk the earth (IMO). Instead, I grew up hating him.

That 84 "Air Knox" team was so special. And that defense was crazy good!

I think if Nordstrom would have dealt with Irsay we could of had Elway and Curt Warner would have been playing for the Colts.

Chuck put the backbone into the identity of the Seattle franchise.

Love what that man did for us.

Pete has made us the bullies of the NFL.

 

[Seafan]

I loved it when Pete Carroll was hired as head coach but nothing beat the special feeling I had when the Hawks hired Chuck Knox. I still remember his press conference. "The Seahawks are meant to win".

At the end of the pc he put on the Seahawks cap and he said, "Let's go. Let's go kick their butts!"

I love defensive minded head coaches because of the toughness they bring to their teams. Chuck Knox made the Seahawks TOUGH. Go, Chuck! Go, Seahawks! Let's go kick their butts!
