Pardee was the Redskins HC that was fired in 1980 that led to the hiring of Joe Gibbs.

He was also a LB on the 72 NFC champions, was he not?

He sure was. 14th overall pick for the LA Rams. Lost a season in 1965 to melanoma but came back, two time All Pro, and member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

He played alongside Richie Petitbon as I recall on that team. Wow, 2 former head coaches for the team from the 72 conference champs.
