Chuck Knox had a very simple philosophy when it came to the game of football: Pound the run. Referred to sometimes as “Ground Chuck” due to his propensity for being physical offensively, the longtime offensive line coach served the Rams as head coach twice, first from 1973-1977 and again from 1992-1994. One could say the framework of the franchises’ excellent rushing attack stemmed from the foundation laid by the late Knox.
