Mike Scarry
[7] Scarry suffered a knee injury near the beginning of the 1945 season, but soon returned to action as the Rams, led by quarterback Bob Waterfield, won the NFL championship.[11] While Scarry was playing for the Browns, he was named head basketball coach at Western Reserve, where he had taken classes between games and in the offseason.[2] Toward the middle of the season, Cleveland coach Paul Brown began to use him as the defensive leader, letting him call the unit's formations.[2] In December, Scarry's Western Reserve basketball team played its first games; he had missed numerous practices because of his duties with the Browns.In September 1947 he received a bachelor of science degree from Western Reserve, completing an educational career at Waynesburg that was cut short by the war.[18] Scarry borrowed Paul Brown's coaching techniques at Western Reserve, instituting well-organized practices there."[19] With no good passer or runner and a lack of depth, Western Reserve's Red Cats performed poorly in Scarry's first season, but he was praised for making the most out of a thin squad.[27][28] After seven seasons at Cincinnati, Scarry got his third head coaching job, for the Yellow Jackets at Waynesburg, his alma mater.[32] Scarry continued to act as the line coach under Graham for the college all-stars in the offseason during his tenure at Waynesburg.Scarry then scouted briefly for the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams, and Dallas Cowboys before taking a job in 1970 as the defensive line coach for the Miami Dolphins under Don Shula, a former Browns player.
