Head Coach
"The Brooklyn boy who grew up to coach the team he once watched from the bleachers, Able Allie took home a winner as a rookie NFL head coach in 1961 and earned admiration from the players and the press.
He failed to make his high school team but became a left-handed T quarterback at Brooklyn College. Allie was a third-string quarterback with the Eagles (1943-47) and Coach Greasy Neale credited him with having 'one of the sharpest football minds in our business.' Allie was later the Giant backfield coach (1949-53, '59 and '60)."
-Don Schiffer, 1962 Pro Football Handbook
