The offense just wasn’t as good under English. The real culprit was the stupid Y on the helmets. They changed them up that season.

What happened in 1978?

That was 42 years ago. The only people who might remember now have suspect memories.

The answer is probably a simple one. It was interesting though to see such a big dip in numbers the 1 year he was gone.

He didn't like that the Bears offense was centered around Walter Payton

I don't think LaVell fired him. IIRC, on "And they came to pass"

I don't know, I left and was away from '77 to '79.

Scovil was a genius. The real creator of the west coast offense.

The 79 team ended so badly, which is too bad
