1977 Profile: Ed Rutledge

Research and Development
"Ed's background includes longtime service as both a coach and scout. He joined the Giants in 1974 as an assistant after spending the previous five years as a member of the NFL's CEPO scouting organization.
Prior to that period, Rutledge had been associated with Don Shula, initially as a member of the coaching staff at the Universtiy of Kentucky, and from 1966-69 as linebackers coach under Shula with the Baltimore Colts.
Born in Ironton, Ohio, Ed lettered in football at Western Kentucky University as a two-way end, then spent six years as a Navy pilot (1941-47), reaching the rank of Lieutenant Commander. He was a special agent in the FBI through 1948 when he decided to enter the coaching ranks, and began that career at Danville High School in Kentucky."
