Question

Frank Reich and Jim Harbaugh were starting quarterbacks against each other in games played in 1996 and 1998; both later went on to be head coaches of NFL teams. In the Super Bowl era, who are the only other two quarterbacks who started in a game against each other, then went on to become NFL head coaches? The two teams they started for way back when will meet again in Week 9. These two men both coached the same NFL team.

Answer

Jim Zorn and Steve Spurrier. They were the starting quarterbacks when the Seahawks and Bucs joined the NFL in 1976. They met in Week 6 that year, with Seattle winning the “Expansion Bowl” to get its first-ever win. Both Spurrier (2002-03) and Zorn (2008-09) went 12-20 in two seasons coaching for Washington. Seattle and Tampa Bay will play again on Sunday.
