Griz CB Calvin Coleman played with the NY Giants...

Uh, I don't think he ever saw the field in a regular season game. Didn't he get cut in pre-season? Don't think he made their practice squad, but could be mistaken.

You hit it with this one Bear Axed. Great list. Make sure you scroll to the bottom. I see Matt Clark on there from Missoula Hellgate which i was going to suggest was missing. The other omission i see is Marty Mornhinwig needs to be added to the Coaches list as current Philadelphia Eagles OC and former Detriot Lions head coach.
Now this suggestion may be a stretch, but worth throwing it out there. Jack Elway, John Elway's dad, spent 5 years on the Griz coaching staff and moved on to many successful years as a head college coach with Cal St. Northridge, San Jose St. and Stanford after John left. In 1991 he coached the Frankfurt Galaxy of the WLAF during the team's first two years. So there you go, Pro Coaching experience. Jack Elway later worked in the Denver Broncos scouting department from 1993–99, the last five as director of pro scouting.

Dalae Shupe ('55 or '56) played for Detroit.....

I was going to mention Marty Morningwheg (?) as an NFL Head Coach and current OC with Philadelphia but someone beat me to it.

What about a list of former players/coaches who have gone on to great coaching success at the college level? Mike Van Diest & Brent Pease & Billy Cockhill come to mind, and someone else brought up Jack Elway.

I know Swoggs played at least a season with an AFL2 team in Ohio and I believe he spent some time with the Colorado Crush (AFL). I can't find anything online about his AFL2 stint, but I remember reading about it.
