1963 Profile: Allie Sherman

Head Coach
"By now it's fairly obvious that he's the new genius of the block-and-tackle set. His technique is simple: get to know the potential of the personnel and develop the strongest points.
Born in Brooklyn, he was too small to play high school football and was a left-handed quarterback at Brooklyn College during the formative stages of the T-formation. Allie studied this new attack so intently that he became a master at its operation. He played for the Eagles, mostly as a holder for placements, but always kept his eyes and ears open and absorbed as much knowledge as possible.
Allie has a completely positive approach to the game and starts the '63 year with a new five-year contract, the longest NFL pact. He has two conference champions in as many years as the head man in the Bronx."
