Frank Kush, Cincinnati Bengals:
The Bengals are bringing Kush in from coaching the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the CFL to an 11-4-1 season in 1981. They gave up on Bill Johnson after he disappointed with never getting their highly talented team deep into the playoffs and then appearing unable to stop the bleeding as the team aged.
Mike Ditka, New York Giants:
After just one season the Giants let go of Ed Biles to bring in Ditka. When Landry retired at the end of the 1980 season Mike Ditka was left in the lurch. There had been talk of him coming to New York last season, but no contract could get worked out. With Biles poor performance, the Giants were willing to go deeper to bring in Ditka.
Jack Pardee, Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
The Buccaneers have only been around for six seasons but are already on their third coach. Tom Flores greatly disappointed as everyone felt this team was on the verge of breaking out to be something special. They are turning now to Pardee who put together solid teams in Chicago in hopes that he can turn things around.
Ron Meyer, Atlanta Falcons:
Atlanta finally gave up on Marion Campbell. Besides the one magical season that found them in the Super Bowl, Campbell was never able to create a consistent team. Now they are looking to the college ranks with Meyer hoping he can spark their offense. Meyer is coming from SMU where he coached some high powered offensive units.
