THE SIDELINES : Elway to Coach London Gridders
Jack Elway, a college head coach for 17 seasons and the father of Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway, one of pro football’s top quarterbacks, will coach the London team in the new International League of American Football.
The league said Elway, the first head coach to be assigned to a team, will arrive in London later this month and start player tryouts. The league, with teams in eight European cities, is scheduled to begin its first season April 14.
Elway has been a coach for 34 years, getting his first top job at Washington State in 1972. Since then he has also coached at San Jose State and Stanford.
