He was 79. Perkins was an All-American WR at Bama playing with QBs Joe Namath and Ken Stabler in mid-sixties. I believe he is in CFB HOF as a player. |

Some trivia that might be of interest to fans of "Pro-Style" pass offense: In the last phone conversation I had with (the very gracious) Ray Perkins, he confirmed the origin of the "Erhardt-Perkins" Pass system. This is what Belichick used with Brady:
1. Sid Gillman taught Jack Faulkner (with the Chargers in 1961)
2. Jack Faulkner gave it to Red Miller (with the Broncos in 1962-64)
3. Red Miller taught it to Ron Erhardt (with the Patriots in 1973-76)
4. Ron Erhardt gave it to Ray Perkins (with the Patriots in 1974-77)
It all went back to "El Sid" (Gillman). I have an article about Sid Gillman's "influence" coming out in the Feb. issue of AFM Magazine (online).

I have a series of articles I have written on this type stuff. It includes actual playbook material from Sid Gillman, Don Coryell/Joe Gibbs, Bill Walsh, Lindy Infante, (fore-runners of the "Modern Passing Game") etc. I would include them here, but I don't know HOW to attach such things on this site. |

Bill Walsh is ON Sid Gillman's "Coaching Tree". The best offenses in the NFL (K.C. Chiefs, N.O. Saints, etc) are admittedly disciples of Walsh's "West Coast" Offense. LSU in 2019 & Alabama in 2020 are doing the same things! I'll put up a similar article to the one above from Bill Walsh (with Tog's help).
It all goes back to Sid Gillman.
