According to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, that’s when Ohio inventors John Campbell and George Sarles presented Hall of Fame coach Paul Brown of the Cleveland Browns with a radio receiver they had developed. They suggested Brown place the device in the quarterback’s helmet and relay calls to him directly, rather than sending in plays with substitute players.It was banned shortly after its first use. But the NFL embraced an improved coach-to-quarterback communications system nearly 40 years later.Brown first used the system secretly in an exhibition game against the Detroit Lions. The Lions’ coaching staff noticed that Brown wasn’t substituting players as he usually did, and eventually spotted the transmitter behind a wooden light post on the sideline.Other teams scrambled to devise their own units, but none were as effective as the Campbell-Sarles version. Even that device encountered technical issues — for example, the quarterback intermittently heard a nearby taxi dispatcher instead of the head coach. The Browns used radio helmet technology in three more games before NFL Commissioner Bert Bell banned its use leaguewide.In 1994, with coaches still using hand signals and player substitutions to call plays, the NFL approved a new version of the system, available to all teams. Once again, coaches could communicate directly with quarterbacks between plays.http://mayorcitysports.org/2018/03/tech ... perations/ by Claremontram 5 years 10 months ago Total posts: 226 Joined: Jun 09 2015 LA Coliseum Rookie 1956 vs 2017 POST #5 aeneas1 liked this post I drive a 1956 Chevy Nomad.
