GD! forgot about that one. lol
Burns won two rings as an assistant coach on Lombardi's staff.
Always reminded me of Burgess Meredith.
For sure:
Professional coaching career of Jerry Burns:
Jerry Burns was 38 years of age when he was fired at Iowa. He moved on to the Green Bay Packers of the NFL and served for two years as an assistant coach to Vince Lombardi in 1966 and 1967 when the Packers won Super Bowl I and Super Bowl II.
When Vince Lombardi retired after the 1967 season, Burns was hired by Bud Grant of the Minnesota Vikings. Grant hired Burns to be his OC.
Jerry Burns served as Minnesota's OC for the next 18 years, from 1968–1985. During that time, the Vikings were a force in the NFC and NFCN and made the playoffs 12 times and won 11 division titles, and played in four Super Bowls.
When Bud Grant retired from coaching in 1985, Jerry Burns was named as the 4th head coach of the Minnesota Vikings on January 7, 1986.
He coached Minnesota for six years, from 1986 to 1991.
Burns compiled a record of 52–43 and led the Vikings to the playoffs three times.
He helped the Vikings win the division title in 1989 and led them to the NFC championship game in 1987.
On December 4, 1991, Burns announced that he would retire from coaching after the 1991 NFL season.
He has been nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but has yet to gain the votes necessary for induction. In 1998, Burns gave the Hall of Fame induction speech for Paul Krause, a defensive back he coached both at Iowa and with the Vikings. "
