Rodriguez, would be my WAG.
There are two current NFL coaches with a losing career regular season record and a winning career record in the playoffs. Name them.
Doug Pederson, Lovie Smith and Kyle Shanahan are three names that come to mind…
Good guesses. Kyle Shanahan is 43-46 in the regular season. He is 4-2 in the playoffs, having gone 2-1 last year and 2-1 in 2019. Interesting point about the 49ers this year...they're 4-4, but they're 7th in the NFL in point differential.
Lovie Smith is 90-92 in the regular season and 3-3 in the post-season. God guess, not him.
Doug Pederson actually has a winning record in both the regular season and the playoffs. He's 44-43-1 in the regular season and 4-2 in the postseason
The other coach with a losing regular season record and a winning playoff record is Zac Taylor who is 20-36-1 in the regular season and 3-1 in the postseason.

Good stuff.
By the end of the season (if not sooner), I think Pederson will join Taylor and Shanahan.

Think Klarty may have a shot at setting the most field goals made in a game record during one of our last four game. Who currently holds the record and how many?
For a bonus question, who holds the record for the most punts in a game, and how many?
Both questions college. . . .

Good question...there was a pre-WWII game that the conditions were so bad, and it was so hard to hold onto the football that both teams punted a bunch of times. I remember reading about it when I was a kid. Don't recall the teams.
I think Garcia had five field goals in a game the same year he missed game winning field goals in one or two games.
I was thinking about collegiate season FG records:
1) Current record is Billy Bennett of Georgia, with 31 FGs in 2003.
2) Pac-12 record is John Lee of UCLA, with 29 FGs in 1984.
3) Stanford record is 22 by Konrad Ukropina in 2016. Karty is 14/14 with four games left, and most likely not five games left.
4) NCAA season FG percentage record (minimum 5 attempts and post-1992/93 season) is 100% by multiple kickers. Right now, there are 13 kickers (including Karty) who have 100% FG attempts/made this season so far. There have been 25 kickers in history who were perfect for an entire season, including Austin Lopez at SJSU in 2016 (no other California kickers on that list, though there's a WSU, Utah and Arizona kicker on the list).

That was the game. Texas Tech vs Centenary in 1939. Texas Tech's Charlie Calhoun punted 36 times, 33 of which were on first down. And you thought Harris was bad. . . .

The Pro Football HOF has chosen all decade teams from the 2010’s all the way back to the 1920’s.
Name the five Stanford players who made the list. The teams included first and second string all stars.
