Talk:Sid Gillman

West Coast Offense

Not to be confused with Bill Walsh's Cincinnati offense. Confusion created after interview with Bernie Kosar who referred to Air Coryell offense as "West Coast".—Preceding unsigned comment added by Vytal (talk • contribs)

That may or may not be true, but we currently have a reliable source that confirms what is in the article. If you have a reliable source that says differently, we may be able to work that it, but the info you removed was referenced and the reference confirms the statement you removed... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 17:53, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

The source is incorrect. Check out http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_game/dr_z/news/1999/10/28/inside_football/ which is reference #4 in the article which is contradicts reference #3. Zimmerman's article is correct, the AP obituary is incorrect. The first reference also backs this up. Vytal (talk) 18:18, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

There should be an expanded section on Gillman's offensive influence. His offense did become what is now known as "Air Coryell" as played by the late '70s early '80s San Diego Chargers under Don Coryell, the early '90s Dallas Cowboys under Jimmy Johnson and Norv Turner, the current Niners & Chargers, the "Greatest Show on Turf" Rams and other teams coordinated by Turner, Ernie Zampese, Mike Martz and their disciples. Gillman's offensive influence in today's league would be second only to Bill Walsh's.

The West Coast offense article does do a good job of distinguishing between the Walsh and Gillman systems, and has some good sources as well... You may want to dig through some of those... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 18:37, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Mike Martz

Mike Martz should be under Dick Vermeil in the Gillman coaching tree, and credited with a Super Bowl appearance. Antimatter33 (talk) 04:22, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

Wrong Stats

His Stats are wrong, in Season 1971 he had won 4 games and lost 6 games, you can see it at http://static.nfl.com/static/content/public/image/history/pdfs/TeamCapsules/San_Diego.pdf The stats above are also wrong, because the total statistic with 87-57-6 is correct — Preceding unsigned comment added by FettelPaxton (talk • contribs) 20:05, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

College AD

i attended USIU in san diego.Sid Gilman was our athletic director for1 year. Mr. Gilman hired 3 future NFL head coaches, one being john fox, who was my position coach as a defensive back coach.... The ice hockey team, which was an naia before I believe, ended up being one of the top teams in the entire country within a one week time frame.... He really knew his business also mandated that we play at Jack Murphy stadium, which I believe sat around 50000 even though that first year of playing football with him, we only brought in maybe 1500 to the games. I believe our record that year was 8 and 2 And then he left for an n f l position Jeffpmyerssr (talk) 13:27, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
