Kay Stephenson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kay Stephenson (born December 17, 1944) is a former football player and coach whose latter career has seen him work in three different professional leagues. For just over two seasons in the National Football League, he served as head coach of the Buffalo Bills. In the Canadian Football League he coached the San Antonio Texans and the Edmonton Eskimos. Stephenson also coached in the World League where he led the Sacramento Surge to the 1992 World Bowl championship.

Growing up in Pensacola, Florida, Stephenson earned All-State accolades as a quarterback at Pensacola High School and received a scholarship to the University of Florida. Stephenson's timing was not the best, since another standout, Steve Spurrier, arrived at the same time, and proceeded to take over the starting signal caller duties, winning the Heisman Trophy in 1966.

Stephenson played quarterback for the Bills and the San Diego Chargers before entering the coaching ranks.
