2013 nfl season
kuharich began his coaching career as an assistant freshman coach at notre dame in 1938. in 1939, he coached at the vincentian institute in albany. he then moved to the pro ranks as a player, playing guard for the chicago cardinals in 1940 and 1941. after serving in the navy, he returned to the cardinals in 1945, his last season as a player. in 1946, kuharich served as line coach for the pittsburgh steelers, then in 1947 he moved on to the university of san francisco as line coach and was promoted to head coach in 1948. his overall record was 25–14, including an undefeated 9–0 season in 1951. among his most prized pupils was ollie matson, who became a pro football hall of fame running back with the chicago cardinals. matson's usf teammates also included future nfl hall of famers gino marchetti (baltimore colts) and bob st. clair (san francisco 49ers). burl toler, defensive standout who suffered a career-ending knee injury in the college all-star game, later became the nfl's first african-american official. and, the team's student publicity director, pete rozelle, served a distinguished career as commissioner of the national football league. no other team in college football history can boast as many players and contributors honored by the nfl hall of fame, as the 1951 usf dons. oddly, financial concerns led the school to disband football the following year. when kuharich felt the time was right, he moved up to the national football league, serving as head coach of the chicago cardinals in 1952, succeeding curly lambeau. in 1953, he served as a scout for several pro teams, then in 1954 became coach of the washington redskins, then owned by the controversial george preston marshall. once again, kuharich succeeded lambeau. the team "boasted" of diminutive eddie lebaron, the smallest quarterback in the league, who had the daunting task of succeeding the legendary sammy baugh. a successful campaign in 1955 landed kuharich "coach of the year" honors, then hardships sent kuharich's 'skins to a losing stretch. after five seasons in washington, kuharich resigned when notre dame beckoned.
