Frank Gansz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Gansz (born November 22, 1938) was an football coach of the Kansas City Chiefs from 1987-1988. He later served as the special teams coach for the St. Louis Rams. He was formerly an assistant at the United States Air Force Academy and United States Naval Academy, his alma mater.
He took over as head coach for the Chiefs in 1987 after John Mackovic was fired. In his first year, he finished 4-11, then nearly matched that record the following season with a 4-11-1 mark. Gansz was then fired and replaced by Marty Schottenheimer.
While not successful as a Head Coach, Gansz is best remembered as one of the best and most influential Special Teams coaches in NFL history.
His son, Frank Gansz Jr. was the Special Teams coach for the Chiefs from 2001-2005.
