Cooke's team, coached by a bright man named Joe Gibbs, was constructed by boyish Talent Scout Bobby Beathard out of what some say were the pitiful leavings of '70s Coach George Allen, though Theismann, Fullback John Riggins, Place Kicker Mark Moseley, Offensive Tackle George Starke and Defensive Tackle Dave Butz were among the remnants.
