Krazy George - Wikipedia
He actually had a pretty interesting life. Formerly a teacher, decided to be a full-time booster. He worked for:
- Five NFL teams (Oilers, Chiefs, Vikings, Saints, Titans)
- Three NCAA football teams
- Two Canadian Football teams
- Five NHL teams (California Golden Seals were his first team after SJSU football, Avalanche, Oilers, Rockies, Jets)
- Two MLB teams (Oakland A's and Rockies)
- Five NASL teams (Quakes of course)
- Multiple minor league hockey and soccer teams
- One minor league baseball team (San Jose Giants)
- Arena football (Houston Stallions)
- Minor league hockey including WHL (Vancouver)
Vikings GM complained about KG making noise when he worked for an opposing team...so he hired him.
The Chiefs and Oilers had a bidding war over him.
He lives in Capitola and still cheers at Quakes games. He's 82 years old.
Not really a question, but I think it's interesting that three of the Top 10 NFL playoff winning coaches (minimum 10 games) are 49er coaches, led by former multi-time Stanford head football coach Bill Walsh. Using career postseason winning percentage, minimum 10 games coached, here is the Top 10:
Playoff
Rk. Coach Record Win% Championships
1 Vince Lombardi 9–1 90% 5 NFL titles (2 Super Bowl Wins)
2 Tom Flores 8–3 73% 2 Super Bowl Wins
3 Bill Walsh 10–4 71% 3 Super Bowl Wins
4 Joe Gibbs 17–7 71% 3 Super Bowl Wins
5 Bill Belichick 31–13 71% 6 Super Bowl Wins
6 Jimmy Johnson 9–4 69% 2 Super Bowl Wins
T-7 Chuck Noll 16–8 67% 4 Super Bowl Wins
T-7 George Seifert 10–5 67% 2 Super Bowl Wins
9 Kyle Shanahan 9–5 64% 0 Super Bowl Wins
10 Tom Coughlin 12–7 63% 2 Super Bowl Wins
George Halas misses the 10 game cutoff by one. He won six NFL titles and went 6-3 in playoff games.
