Scout
"With the start of the 1972 NFL season, Frank (Pop) Ivy began his second tour of duty as a scout for the Giants. A veteran of head coaching assignments in three major professional leagues (NFL, AFL and Canada), Ivy first joined the New York organization as defensive line coach in 1965. He held that post through the 1966 season and then left to head up scouting operations in the Southwest. Coach Alex Webster talked Pop back into coaching in 1971 and he returned to New York from his home in Norman, Oklahoma to tutor the offensive line. Now, for the second time in his Giant career, the veteran football man is once again the club's chief talent hunter in the Southwest.
Ivy has a broad background in pro football. He was head coach of the Edmonton Eskimos in Canada (1954-57), head coach of the Chicago Cardinals in the NFL (1958-61) and then head coach of the Houston Oilers of the AFL (1962-63). An All-American college player at the University of Oklahoma, Pop saw NFL service as an end with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Cardinals."
