It s not uncommon for underachieving NFL teams to fire their head coach during the season and have an interim coach finish out the year. These positions often lead to a temporary gig, but some revered leaders began their rises from the interim level.

I was reading Tobin Rote s biography. Although he played mostly on some poor Packers teams, his statistics, rushing and passing during the 1950s, is unmatched. He also relieved an injured Bobby Layne and won Detroit s last championship. He did pretty well in the Canadian Football League and also won an AFL championship with the San Diego Chargers. So I was wondering why he is not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Did Tobin ever get any mention or votes?
Fascinating question. I can tell you this: Rote, who played for the Packers from 1950-56, was never a finalist. My list goes back to 1970, when I believe the voting process changed, and Rote last played for Denver in 1966, so he wouldn t have been eligible prior to that.
