GENERALS TRIVIA
--
Tickets to see the Generals play at the Meadowlands in 1983 could be bought for just $10 or $12.50, depending on seat location.
--
By 1985, prices had gone up, but were still reasonable even at the time, at $11 and $14, respectively.
--
The Generals ticket hotline number was 1-800-KICKOFF.
--
1983 Offensive Line Coach Bill Austin had the distinction of being the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers to immediately precede Hall of Fame coach Chuck Noll.
--
1984-85 Offensive Coordinator Chris Palmer would eventually also join the ranks of NFL head coaches, being picked to serve as the head coach of the resurrected Cleveland Browns in 1999.
--
Despite his firing by the New York Jets, Walt Michaels was among the more popular coaches in team history.
--
When Donald Trump was unable to lure Don Shula away from the Miami Dolphins, he hired Michaels to pilot the Gens in 1984.
--
During the J. Walter Duncan era, the Generals operated with a considerably smaller front office staff than was the case once Donald Trump purchased the franchise.
