The only coach I saw who used to chain smoke in the booth.

I had a nickname for him, but I won't say it here.

In truth, he was a great OC at one point in time. Just not very creative and didn't really know how to adjust without a dominant offensive line.

RIP
I first heard of him in one of those old NFL preview magazines in the early 80s that had a play calling quiz based on what Zampese would have called. It was when he was with the Chargers. He was considered a great offensive mind even then.

Sad News.
Condolences and prayers to his family friends.
RIP Zamp.

He helped us big time to win the SB over Pittsburgh as OC.
Always working those X's and O's plays, head phones and a handful of cigarettes in the Coaches Booth,
His son Ken Zampese may still be coaching in the NFL.
