But he was on that team with David Caldwell, who was also on Colts staff and was Jacksonville's GM for a few years, and Chris Polian, who of course was Colts assist. GM for awhile (and has since held a few different exec positions with other teams). Also Greg Roman was on the team, who has had multiple NFL coaching positions, current Ravens OC.

The year after Telesco graduated, the same school also had players on the team that included Josh McDaniels (ugh), Nick Caserio (long time with Pats front office, now Houston), and London Fletcher.

So I just thought it was weird that this little school in Ohio produced NFL execs/coaches that had long and successful careers in Indy, and a separate line that had long careers in New England.

Good story, thanks.


That reminded me of something else, in regard to Stan Musial and Ken Griffey, Jr. They were both born on the same date ...... Musial was born on November 21st of 1920. Griffey Jr. was also born on November 21st, in 1969.

But birthdates are not the only thing that these 2 Hall-of-Famers share ...... they were both born in the town of Donora, Pennsylvania, which has a population of 4,569.
