Summary

Kevin's Part 2 of his interview with Skins' historian and author Mike Richman about his new book, "George Allen: A Football Life". Mike shares stories from the book about the life and accomplishments of one of the most successful NFL coaches of all time and one of the greatest innovators in the game. Allen brought winning football to DC in 1971 and his success resulted in one of the most passionate fan bases in the NFL for decades. The stories of Allen's early life which included an unannounced visit to Albert Einstein's house are priceless. Allen's football coaching career in the NFL started with George Halas in Chicago where he was instrumental in leading the Bears to a 1963 NFL title. His Los Angeles Rams teams in the late 60's are some of the most memorable teams in NFL history. And then he came to Washington where he created an immediate winner.
