...Year Coach Don Coryell told his players that they would win ten games-a bold prediction considering that the team lost nine last season. Yet the players believed. Following the example of Coryell, who often works so late that he sleeps on the gold couch in his office, veteran Quarterback Jim Hart has put the bomb back in football, throwing seven touchdown passes of 40 yds. or more.
