Don McCafferty Donald William McCafferty ( March 12 , 1921 – July 28 , 1974 ) was an American football coach who , in his first year as head coach of the Baltimore Colts , led the team to a victory in Super Bowl V . McCafferty played college football at Ohio State University under Paul Brown , where he was a key member of the offensive line . Due to World War II , he was one of a select group of players to play twice in the annual College All - Star Game held in Chicago . After moving on to the National Football League , McCafferty was shifted to wide receiver , playing one season with the New York Giants . After working in the Cleveland , Ohio recreation department the following year , he was hired as an assistant at Kent State University in 1948 . He spent 11 seasons with the Golden Flashes until accepting an assistant coaching position with the Baltimore Colts . During that first season at the professional level , McCafferty was part of the Colts ' second straight championship team . When Colts ' head coach Weeb Ewbank was fired after the conclusion of the 1962 NFL season , McCafferty remained with the team as offensive coordinator under new coach Don Shula . McCafferty ' s easy - going personality helped serve as a buffer against the demanding Shula ' s quest for perfection , a contrast that played a major part in the team ' s three NFL playoff appearances during the next seven years . Colts ' Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas once said about McCafferty , " He doesn ' t shout and scream . He ' s able to look at football objectively without getting carried away emotionally . " He was referred to in the press and by the Colts players as " Easy Rider " . When Shula left to accept the head coaching position with the Miami Dolphins , McCafferty was chosen to replace him on April 6 , 1970 , then the following season led the Baltimore Colts to an 11 - 2 - 1 record and their second Super Bowl appearance in three years . In that mistake - filled contest against the Dallas Cowboys on January 17 , 1971 , the Colts won 16 - 13 on a last - second field goal by rookie Jim O ' Brien . The Colts once again reached the playoffs in 1971 , but were shut out 21 - 0 in the AFC Championship game by Shula ' s Dolphins . The following year , after only one win in the team ' s first five games , the Colts ' general manager , Joe Thomas , ordered Unitas benched as the team ' s quarterback . When McCafferty refused , he was fired . On January 26 , 1973 , McCafferty was hired as head coach of the Detroit Lions and was 6 - 7 - 1 in his first year on the sidelines . On July 28 , 1974 , while spending some time at his nearby home in West Bloomfield , Michigan , he suffered a heart attack while cutting his grass . He died after being transported to a Pontiac , Michigan hospital . He was buried three days later following services at Dulaney Valley Memorial Gardens in Timonium , Maryland .
Biff , the Michigan Wolverine Biff , the Wolverine was a live wolverine who served as a team mascot at University of Michigan Wolverines football games and was later kept in a small zoo at the University of Michigan in the 1920s and 1930s . In the mid - 1920s , before the acquisition of a live wolverine , the University of Michigan used a mounted and stuffed wolverine , also named " Biff " , as the team mascot . In 1923 , after seeing the University of Wisconsin football team carry live badgers at games , University of Michigan athletic director and football coach Fielding H . Yost decided to procure a wolverine . Despite writing letters to 68 trappers , Yost was reportedly unable to find a wolverine . The best he could do in 1924 was to obtain a mounted and stuffed wolverine from the Hudson ' s Bay Company . The stuffed wolverine was named “ Biff ” and was featured on the cover of a 1925 game program , along with team captain Robert J . Brown straining to hold Biff on a leash . The caption to the photograph read : “ Capt . Bob Brown and Biff : The Wolverine Mascot of Michigan Athletic Teams Is Noted for Its Ferocity and Gameness in Battle , a Characteristic of Every Team that Wears the Maize and Blue . ” Then , in 1927 , the Detroit Zoo acquired ten wolverines from Alaska . During the 1927 season , Yost struck a deal with the zoo to have two of the wolverines transported to Ann Arbor on football Saturdays . The two wolverines were nicknamed “ Biff ” and “ Bennie ” and were paraded around Michigan Stadium during football games . Biff and Bennie ’ s first appearance came on dedication day for Michigan Stadium in 1927 . The University of Michigan Athletic Department reports that Biff and Bennie “ grew larger and more ferocious , ” leading Yost to conclude , " It was obvious that the Michigan mascots had designs on the Michigan men toting them , and those designs were by no means friendly . " Accordingly , the practice of bringing Biff and Bennie into the stadium ended after just one season . One of the Wolverines , Biff , was put in a cage at the University of Michigan Zoo . National Geographic reported that " Yost had not accounted for the rapid growth or the ferocity of the animals , and when his players were no longer willing to carry the wolverines around the stadium , one live mascot , ' Biff , ' was turned over to the University of Michigan Zoo so that the students would be able to visit — and be inspired by — him . " Though some sources report that Biff and Bennie were paraded in cages around Michigan Stadium for only one year , an article from the Bentley Historical Library states that the two live wolverine mascots were brought to the stadium for “ a number of years . ” The Bentley account also states that both Biff and Bennie lived for a time at a small zoo near the Natural History Museum , " but eventually became too vicious to remain on campus and were moved to the Detroit Zoo . "
1895 Tennessee Volunteers football team The 1895 Tennessee Volunteers football team unofficially represented the University of Tennessee in the 1895 college football season . In October 1894 , the Athletic Association resolved to drop varsity football and look forward to baseball in the spring . After the humiliating 1893 season with two wins and four imposing defeats , only two athletes willing to admit they had played on the 1893 team returned to campus in 1894 . To complicate matters further , the practice field , located just west of the main entrance to the Hill , was being graded and improved . Soon after this decision , W . B . Stokely , a UT senior who transferred from Wake Forest University , persuaded a group of students to form a team . Stokely , who was elected captain , gave encouragement and direction to the other players . Even though the institution chose not to be represented officially on the gridiron , Stokely and his unofficial team kept football interest alive during this period when almost certainly it otherwise would have been allowed to lapse completely . These unofficial games , referred to as " The Lost Years " are not included in NCAA statistics or in official University of Tennessee won - lost records . 1895 was the second and final student - coached team .

China Bowl The China Bowl was the name of a proposed National Football League ( NFL ) pre - season exhibition game that had been scheduled to take place in August 2007 , but later postponed to 2009 and ultimately canceled , between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks at the National Stadium in Beijing . The originally scheduled China Bowl was to be played at Workers Stadium in Beijing , China , on August 8 , 2007 . The game was to kick - off the one - year countdown before the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing , and would have been the first NFL - sanctioned game to take place in China , as well as the first NFL preseason game played outside the United States since the league abandoned the American Bowl series in 2005 ( game 1 of the Bills Toronto Series now holds that honor ) . On April 2 , 2007 , the NFL announced the rescheduling of the preseason game in Beijing to August 2009 , so that more focus can be placed on the start of the International Series , the first regular season game to take place outside of North America , which took place at Wembley Stadium , London that October . Both teams have expressed interest in still playing the game , and the Patriots , having operations in China , would have been an opponent either way . As a result of the recent recession , the Patriots closed their China base , and the game was not played . The Patriots were instead assigned to the next game in the International Series , against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers , which was played at Wembley on October 25 , 2009 .
