While the team ' s record was just 3 - 5 - 2 , it did include a dramatic victory in the season finale against Tennessee in Knoxville , 12 - 10 .

Players on the Kentucky team included Tom Hutchinson , Dale Lindsey , and Herschel Turner , all of whom later played in the NFL . Bob Kosid later played in the CFL . Two assistant coaches on the 1962 Kentucky staff , Leeman Bennett and Chuck Knox , later had success as NFL head coaches . Lindsey went on to become a successful NFL assistant coach , notably working with Brian Urlacher and the Chicago Bears . Story . The 1962 Kentucky football team is the subject of a book , " The Thin Thirty , " by Shannon Ragland , published in August , 2007 . The focus of the book is the ' 62 roster of players under first - year coach Charlie Bradshaw — a Bear Bryant disciple — who ended up thinning the team from 88 to 30 players via his brutal conditioning tactics and exploitation of players . It places this in the backdrop of racial and economic tensions of the South and its impact on several players . The book asserts that several members of the 1962 team became involved in a gay sex scandal involving actor Rock Hudson , and that a crucial game was fixed that year . It then finished by following up with what happened to the players afterward . Reception . " The Thin Thirty " received reviews in several publications , including the " Voice - Tribune , " the " Charleston Post & Courier , " the " Louisville Courier Journal " and by Professor Weldon Johnson , the author of " Chokehold . " Jon Johnston from " CornNation " praises the research and epilogue , but finds the back story at 100 - pages was long , the writing was redundant at times , and the assertion of the Xavier game being fixed without evidence " damages the credibility " of the book .

He may be best remembered for serving as head coach of the NFL ' s Atlanta Falcons during the final nine games of the 1976 NFL season . Early life .

After graduating from Michigan State , Peppler tried playing minor league baseball and became a head football coach at the high school level , winning state championships at both East Lansing and Grant High Schools . That success led to an eight - year tenure as an assistant at North Carolina State University beginning in 1954 , followed by one year at Wake Forest University in 1962 . On January 28 , 1963 , one month after winning their second straight NFL title , the Green Bay Packers hired Peppler as director of player personnel , where he worked with head coach Vince Lombardi in helping continue a talent pipeline that won three more championships , including their first two Super Bowl s . However , even before Lombardi left following the 1967 NFL season , Peppler ' s talent for player procurement stumbled as the team failed to replace the host of future Pro Football Hall of Fame rs that dotted the roster .

When Campbell won only one of the first five games the following year , he was fired and Peppler finished out the year , compiling a 3 - 6 record including back - to - back wins against the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys . Despite the promise shown in the final two months of the season , which included the upset of the Dallas Cowboys , Peppler ' s uncertain future forced him to look for other job openings . On February 2 , 1977 , he was named assistant general manager of the Houston Oilers , a post he held for four seasons . During that time , the Oilers competed in two AFC Championship game s against the Pittsburgh Steelers , but when head coach Bum Phillips was fired after a disappointing end to the 1980 NFL season , and accepted the head coaching position with the New Orleans Saints . Peppler followed him , taking a front office job on January 27 , 1981 . The Saints , coming off a horrific 1 - 15 campaign in 1980 , spent the next few years rebuilding , but after nearly five years of struggles , Phillips resigned on November 25 , 1985 , with Peppler also being asked to resign at the same time . The move would mark the end of Peppler ' s NFL career .
