About Hank Stram

  • Henry Louis Stram (; January 3, 1923 – July 4, 2005) was an American football coach.
  • He is best known for his 15-year tenure with the Dallas Texans/Kansas City Chiefs of the American Football League (AFL) and National Football League (NFL). Stram won three AFL championships, more than any other coach in the league's history.
  • He then won Super Bowl IV with the Chiefs, thus earning the 1969 World Championship of Professional Football.
  • He also coached the most victories (87), had the most post-season games (7) and the best post-season record in the AFL (5–2).
  • Stram is largely responsible for the introduction of Gatorade to the NFL due to his close association with Ray Graves, coach at the University of Florida during Gatorade's development and infancy.
  • Stram never had an offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, or special teams coach during his career with the Texans and Chiefs.
