Defensive Tackle
No. 68
California
"Obtained via waivers from the New Orleans Saints prior to the 1972 season, the veteran defensive lineman did a good job in training camp and won a spot as a starter. Then he was sidelined with a calf injury early in the regular season, but returned late in the season as a reserve. Last year, he won a starting berth at tackle and played in all 14 games, had five sacks of the passer and one fumble recovery.
Originally drafted as a future in the 8th round by St. Louis in 1966, Dan spent a year on the Cardinals' taxi squad, then he was sold to Detroit where he spent two seasons. He also spent some time with the Baltimore Colts before signing as a free agent with the Saints. Dan had four fumble recoveries in the 1969 season as a defensive tackle.
Goich was a fine player and an outstanding student at the University of California, earning two varsity letters in football after transferring from Coalinga Junior College. He received a B.A. in criminology from California, subsequently received his Masters in that area and is close now to his doctorate in criminology.
Dan was born in Chicago and starred at Mount Carmel High School in Chicago. He now resides in Berkeley, California and has done extensive work with the police department there through his special talents in the field of criminology."
