Hank was a coaching legend. I am just glad he was inducted into the HOF BEFORE he passed.

RIP Henry Stram.

CHIEFS MOURN THE LOSS OF HALL OF FAME COACH HANK STRAM
Jul 04, 2005, 5:19:58 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs were saddened to learn of reports of the death of Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Hank Stram on Monday. The club extends its deepest condolences to the Stram family.

The first head coach in the franchise’s history, Stram led the Dallas Texans and the Kansas City Chiefs from 1960-74 including the team’s two trips to the Super Bowl. He wasstramst the winning coach of the team’s Super Bowl IV win over the Minnesota Vikings (1/11/70). He was the only coach in American Football League (AFL) history to take a team to two Super Bowls.

As coach of the Texans/Chiefs, he won three AFL championships in ‘62, ‘66 and ‘69 and recorded more wins and won more championships than any coach in the 10-year history of the AFL. He later won an AFC Western Division title in ‘71 following the merger of the AFL with the NFL. Stram compiled a 124-76-10 (.614) regular season record during his tenure with the Texans/Chiefs, the most victories of any coach in franchise history.

Owning a reputation as one of the game’s most imaginative offensive minds, Stram was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2003, where he is enshrined along with five of his Chiefs players. Known as “The Mentor,” Stram was honored as either the AFL or AFC Coach of the Year four times: 1962, 1966, 1968 and 1970. An assistant coach at the University of Miami (Florida) before being named the Texans head coach in ‘60, he also served as a college assistant at Purdue, SMU and Notre Dame. A standout athlete in his own right, Stram won seven letters as an athlete at Purdue, three in football and four in baseball. He was born January 3, 1924, in Chicago, Illinois.

Information on memorial services for Mr. Stram are pending and have not been to provided to the club at this time. Additional information on Stram’s career, his impact on the Chiefs franchise and remembrances will be posted on kcchiefs.com throughout the week.
