		Ewbank is the only man ever to coach two different teams to victory in a Championship Game (two NFL Championships in 1958 and 1959 with the Colts, an AFL Championship in 1968 with the Jets, and a World Championship in Super Bowl III in 1969 with the Jets].
		Weeb's record in the AFL was 50-42-6 (71-77-6 all-time with the Jets) and his career regular season record in the NFL and AFL was 130-129-7 and his play-off record was 4-1.
		Weeb Ewbank died 30 years to the day that his Jets lost to the Raiders 43-32, in what would come to be known as the Heidi Game.

	Member - Pro Football Hall of Fame
		When Weeb Ewbank started his National Football League head coaching career with the 1954 Baltimore Colts, he was 47, not the age you ordinarily look for in a rookie coach.
		But the popular Ewbank stayed in command for the next 20 years, the first nine in Baltimore and the final 11 with the New York Jets.
		A decade later, Weeb’s old team, the Colts, was heavily favored to make it three straight Super Bowl victories for the supposedly superior NFL over the overmatched AFL.

		By 1958, coach Weeb Ewbank was in the fifth year of his announced five-year championship plan, but thanks to a combined record of 20-27-1, he hardly was secure in his first NFL head-coaching assignment.
		It was Ewbank’s “keying defense” that suddenly enabled Donovan, heretofore a journeyman player, to utilize his surprising quickness by reading the direction of offensive blocks.
		And it was Ewbank’s decision to move Marchetti from offensive tackle to defensive end that anchored one of the great defensive fronts in history.

		Tributes to Weeb Ewbank from Johnny Unitas and Joe Namath last week recalled a remark ably adaptable coach.
		Unitas, as stiff and straight as his hightop fl shoes and bristly crewcut, and Namath, as loose and wild as his white shoes and flowing hair, seemed icons of the 1950s and the 1960s—Eisenhower conservatism versus (safe) countercultural rebellion.
		As we contemplate Weeb Ewbank's place in football history, it seems that he may have inaugurated a new era, with Lombardi marking the end of the old.
