Dale Lindsey is an American football coach.
An All-State football player (1959 and 1960) at Bowling Green High (Kentucky), Lindsey signed with the University of Kentucky. He was part of the infamous Thin Thirty team, a quit the team in the spring of his freshman year. Transferring to Western Kentucky University, he was a star linebacker before joining the Cleveland Browns.
Prior to joining the coaching ranks, Dale played nine seasons at linebacker for the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland drafted him in the 7th Round of the 1965 NFL Draft. He was also drafted in 6th Round of the AFL Draft by the New York Jets.
He was terminated as the linebackers coach for the Washington Redskins on January 16, 2007. This was his second stint with Washington. He was one of several former NFL coordinators serving as a position coach on the Redskins' coach staff.
Lindsey had a reputation with the Redskins as a tough coach. His feud with Lavar Arrington during the 2005 season led to Arrington's release and subsequent signing with the New York Giants.
Lindsey, now a resident of San Diego, California, lost his home in the wildfires of October 2007.
