Norm Van Brocklin
(1961-66): Died May 2, 1983
Bud Grant
(1967-83; 85): Living in the Twin Cities, selling off old memorabilia and surviving plane crashes.
Les Steckel
(1984): Authored the 2006 book One Yard Short: Turning Your Defeats into Victories which chronicles the final play of Super Bowl XXXIV, when Steckel was offensive coordinator for the Titans (ironically enough, Bud Grant was part of the pregame coin toss).
