Named the NFL’s Special Teams Coach of the Year in 1997 while with the Kansas City Chiefs, Stock was a member of Notre Dame’s 1973 Sugar Bowl team which won the national championship with a 24-23 victory over Alabama. He added a Super Bowl appearance as the special teams coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl XXIII, as the NFC champions San Francisco 49ers defeated the Bengals, 20-16, at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami, Fla.

All told, Stock coached for 26 years at the collegiate level, 17 years in the NFL, one year in the USFL, and one year coaching high school football in Ohio. Altogether, he coached 14 different teams, and his career included four and a half seasons as head coach at Eastern Michigan University.

The Medal of Honor Bowl, which will be televised live nationally by the NBC Sports Network, is a premier all-star game the features the nation’s top draft-eligible college football players as projected for the NFL Draft. The game honors the Medal of Honor recipients and the game’s beneficiaries, the Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, disabled veterans and wounded warriors.

Krause, free safety from the University of Iowa, became the leading pass interceptor of all time when he retired with 81 steals during a 16-season career with the Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings from 1964 to 1979.

A two-way star at Iowa, he was the second-round draft pick of the Redskins in 1964. Although he intercepted 28 passes in his first four seasons, he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings.  He went on to excel with the Vikings for 12 more seasons before retiring after the 1979 campaign.

Krause had the kind of a blue-ribbon rookie season in 1964 that few ever achieve. He led the NFL in interceptions with 12 and was named to the All-NFL first team. He was named to his first of eight Pro Bowls and was second only to teammate running back Charley Taylor for NFL Rookie of the Year acclaim. Named All-NFL four different times, Krause was also selected All-Eastern Conference twice and All-NFC five times.

Krause was the starting free safety in Super Bowls IV, VIII, IX, and XI, and in the 1969 NFL championship game and NFC title games in 1973, 1974, 1976 and 1977. He intercepted one pass in Super Bowl IV and recovered a fumble in Super Bowl IX.

During his landmark rookie season, Krause intercepted passes in seven straight games and he came near to matching that mark in 1968, when he had steals in six consecutive games. It took a three-interception season in his final 1979 campaign to surpass Emlen Tunnell, who had 79 steals, for the all-time record. The durable Krause missed only two games with injuries in 16 seasons.
Krause was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998. He was named to the Redskins’ 70th Anniversary Team and is also a member of the Vikings’ Ring of Honor.

Mills accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida and graduated in 1990, where he was a four-year letterman for coaches Galen Hall and coach Steve Spurrier from 1987-90. As a senior, Mills was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection as a wide receiver, and a team captain of the Gators squad that finished with a 9–2 overall record and a best-in-the-SEC mark of 6–1. He tied for team-high honors with 770 yards receiving, and led the squad with 10 touchdowns in 1990.

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Mills in the third round (73rd pick overall) of the 1991 NFL Draft and Mills played for the Pittsburgh Steelers for six seasons (1991-96). He had his best NFL season in 1995, when he caught 39 passes for 679 yards and eight touchdowns, helping the Steelers gain a berth in Super Bowl XXX (Dallas Cowboys won, 27-17). Mills later played for the Carolina Panthers in 1997, and the Dallas Cowboys in 1998 and 1999. He finished his nine-year professional career with 196 receptions for 2,934 yards and 20 touchdowns.

As a member of the Cowboys in 1999, Mills was recognized with the Ed Block Courage Award, which honors NFL players who exemplify commitments to the principles of sportsmanship and courage. This award is unique in that the recipients are selected solely by a vote of their teammates. Every fall all 32 teams conduct a vote which results in each team selecting their Ed Block Courage Award recipient for the year.

Mills served as the wide receivers coach for the Jacksonville University football team from 2007-12. He is currently the wide receivers coach at Florida A&M, where he has been since 2013.

Former Washington Redskins’ offensive tackle Joe Jacoby and former Buffalo Bills lineman Joe DeLamielleure, a member of the NFL Hall of Fame, have been added to Gailey coaching staff. Jacoby will coach the offensive line’s guards and centers, while DeLamielleure will lead the tackles and tight ends.

Gailey announced previously that he would serve as offensive coordinator and coach the quarterbacks.

The Medal of Honor Bowl, which will be televised live nationally by the NBC Sports Network, is a premier all-star game the features the nation’s top draft-eligible college football players as projected for the NFL Draft. The game honors the Medal of Honor recipients and the game’s beneficiaries, the Medal of Honor Museum Foundation, disabled veterans and wounded warriors.

Jacoby starred as a tackle for his hometown college, the Louisville Cardinals, from 1978-80, and signed a free agent contract with the Redskins in 1981. After working his way through rookie camp, he began a tremendous career that included four Super Bowl appearances, of which Washington won three (XVII in 1983, XXII in 1988, and XXVI in 1992), plus four consecutive Pro Bowl selections from 1983–86.

Along with Jeff Bostic, Mark May, George Starke and Russ Grimm, Jacoby was a founding member of the Redskins’ renowned “Hogs” offensive line of the 1980s and early 1990s, which was considered one of the best front fives of NFL history. The “Hogs” were a mainstay of the Redskins’ glory years during the first Joe Gibbs era.

One year after the Redskins’ third Super Bowl victory in 1992, Jacoby retired. He became an assistant coach at Shenandoah University (VA) and in 2014 was hired as the offensive line coach for Concordia University (IL).

DeLamielleure, a Charlotte, NC resident who was enshrined in the NFL Hall of Fame in 2003, was an All-American and All-Big 10 guard at Michigan State who played for the Bills from 1973-79 and 1985, and also for the Cleveland Browns from 1980-84.

In the 1970s, DeLamielleure and his Bills’ offensive line mates were dubbed the “Electric Company,” because they “turned the Juice loose.” The “Juice,” of course, was Hall of Fame running back O.J. Simpson.

“Joe D” as he was known, was selected in the first round of the 1973 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills and captured All-Rookie honors. It was the beginning of a string of career honors that few NFL guards experienced. He went on to become the most honored lineman of the Bills respected front wall. Eight times during his career he was selected first- or second-team All-Pro; seven times he was named first- or second-team All-AFC, and six times he was named to the Pro Bowl. Since 1970, only two Hall of Fame guards, John Hannah with 10 and Gene Upshaw with seven, were named All-Pro more often.

In 1975, the NFL Players Association named him Offensive Lineman of the Year. Extremely durable and dependable, DeLamielleure played in 185 consecutive games during his 13 playing seasons with the Bills and the Cleveland Browns.

A starter from the first game of his rookie season, DeLamielleure played and started in every game for eight seasons in Buffalo before being traded to Cleveland in 1980. During five years in Cleveland he played in every game and had only three non-starts.

Primarily due to the success of the Bills running attack led by Simpson, DeLamielleure was best known for his run blocking. As a swift pulling guard, Simpson became the first player to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season. DeLamielleure, a six-time Pro Bowl selection who was named to the NFL’s 1970s All-Decade Team, is a member of the Bills and Browns’ Wall of Fame. He received the NFLPA AFC Offensive Lineman of the Year in 1975 and the Forrest Gregg Award for the NFL’s Offensive Lineman of the Year in 1977.

Tickets, which range from $15-$40, may be secured at the Medal of Honor Bowl Game’s dedicated website www. MOHbowl.com. They will also be available at The Citadel Athletic Ticket Office at 843/953-DOGS (3647).

CHARLESTON, SC –

Chan Gailey, the former Georgia Tech, Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys head coach, will return to the guide the National Squad for the 2nd Annual Medal of Honor Bowl, which will be played on January 10, 2015, at The Citadel’s Johnson Hagood Stadium.

“The Medal of Honor Bowl is thrilled to have an experienced NFL coach in Chan Gailey return as coach of our National Team,” said Medal of Honor Bowl Chairman Tom McQueeney. “Coach Gailey is perfect for this format. He’s well respected, experienced, and has taught players at every level. The players that came here last year expressed their admiration of his coaching style and insight to the business that is the NFL.”

Gailey guided the National Team in the Bowl’s inaugural year in 2014, but the American Team, which was coached by Ralph Friedgen, prevailed, 20-3. Friedgen is currently coaching at Rutgers University as their offensive coordinator and will not be available to coach in the 2015 game. The coach of the American Team will be announced soon, according to McQueeney.

After graduating from the University of Florida in 1974 where he was a three-year quarterback for Doug Dickey(1971-73),Gailey stayed with Florida as a graduate assistant for two years before taking his first true coaching job as the secondary coach for Troy State University in Alabama. After two seasons there, he spent four seasons with the Air Force Academy, including two as defensive coordinator under Ken Hatfield. In 1983, he took over the head coaching duties at Troy, where he led the Trojans to a 12–1 record in 1984 en route to the Division II championship.

Prior to serving as a NFL head coach, Gailey coached under Dan Reeves with the Denver Broncos (1985–90), Bill Cowher of the Pittsburgh Steelers (1994–97), Dave Wannstedt of the Miami Dolphins (2000–01) and Herman Edwards of the Kansas City Chiefs (2008).

In 1985 Gailey moved to the NFL when the Denver Broncos signed him as a defensive assistant and special teams coach. The team made three Super Bowl appearances during his six-year tenure. In 1991, Gailey left the NFL to become the head coach of the Birmingham Fire of the World League of American Football, where the team made the playoffs in both years that he was coach.

After a one-year stint as head coach at Samford University, he returned to the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He started as the wide receivers coach, and then moved to offensive coordinator for the 1996 and 1997 seasons. The Steelers won their division all four years, and made one Super Bowl appearance.

In 1998 Gailey was hired to take over a struggling Dallas Cowboys squad, one that had faltered under Barry Switzer during his last year. Gailey’s Cowboys won the NFC East in 1998, and made the playoffs under his two years at the reins. Gailey remains the only Cowboys coach to make the playoffs every season with his team.

He returned to the offensive coordinator role, this time with the Miami Dolphins for the 2000 and 2001 seasons.

Gailey was hired by the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in 2002 to replace George O’Leary. In his first five years at Georgia Tech, Gailey compiled a 37–27 record and went to bowl games each year, winning the 2003 Humanitarian Bowl (a 52–10 win over Tulsa) and the 2004 Champs Sports Bowl (a 51–14 victory over Syracuse). The 2006 season was his most successful at Georgia Tech as the Yellow Jackets won the ACC Coastal Division.

In 2008 Gailey became the offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs and was introduced as the 15th head coach of the Buffalo Bills on January 19, 2010, replacing interim Head Coach Perry Fewell.

A native of Gainesville, Georgia, Gailey graduated in 1970 from Americus High School where he earned letters in basketball, baseball and golf. In football, he was an all-state selection as quarterback.

Gailey, 62, won’t be the only NFL man in town. The premier all-star event expects to have around two-hundred NFL scouts, coaches, and general managers in attendance when practices begin on January 5.

The Medal of Honor Bowl is a premier all-star game that features the nation’s top draft-eligible college football players as projected for the NFL draft. The game honors the Congressional Medal of Honor recipients with expected proceeds dedicated to the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation. The new Medal of Honor museum is planned for Patriot’s Point.

About the Medal of Honor

The Medal of Honor is America’s highest military honor, awarded for personal acts of valor above and beyond the call of duty. The medal is awarded by the President of the United States in the name of Congress to US military personnel only. There are three versions of the medal, one for the Army, one for the Navy, and one for the Air Force. Personnel of the Marine Corps and Coast Guardreceive the Navy version.

Veteran coach Bob Valesente will serve as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, Ethan Horton will guide the running backs, Kevin Patullo will have the wide receivers, the offensive line will be led by Donnie Woods, John Bock will have the defensive line and Matt Hartle, who coaches locally at Northwood Academy, will be responsible for quality control.

“Coach Chan Gailey has assembled an outstanding group of both experienced veteran coaches and rising young stars of the profession,” said Brian Woods, the game’s executive director. “The guys will enjoy playing for these outstanding coaches.”

Valesente, who currently lives in Hilton Head, served as the head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks from 1986-87. He also served as an assistant coach in the NFL with the Baltimore Colts (secondary and special teams, 1982–83), Pittsburgh Steelers (linebackers, 1990–91), Green Bay Packers (linebackers, 1992–94; defensive backs, 1995–98), and Carolina Panthers (defensive backs, 1999).

Horton, a native of Kannapolis, NC, played one season for the Kansas City Chiefs (1985), and seven seasons as a tight end for the Los Angeles Raiders (1987, 1989–1993), and the Washington Redskins (1994). He starred at the University of North Carolina, where he was an all-Atlantic Coast Conference running back and 1984 ACC Player of the Year. In 1981, he was named the co-MVP of the Gator Bowl when the Tar Heels defeated Arkansas.

Patullo spent the 2007-08 seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs as an offensive assistant working primarily in quality control and served in the same capacity under Gailey with the Buffalo Bills. Patullo began his coaching career as a graduate assistant under Mike Stoops at the University of Arizona (2004-06).

Woods, who started for three years as a guard at the University of Maryland (2003-06) and who played for Coach Ralph Friedgen – the coach of the Medal of Honor Game’s American Team – participated in the Gator and Champs Bowls, winning both. He is currently the co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Iowa Western Community College in Council Bluffs, Iowa, where the Reivers recorded a 23-1 record over the past two seasons including a No. 1 final ranking and a NJCAA National Championship in 2012 and rated second in 2013.

Bock is a former NFL offensive lineman who played one year for the New York Jets (1995) and five seasons with the Miami Dolphins (1996-00). He played collegiately at Louisville and Indiana State, and is a former assistant coach at Florida Atlantic University.

Hartle, who coaches at Northwood Academy in Charleston, will also assist with the wide receivers and tight ends. From 2011-13, he served as an assistant coach and was assistant recruiting coordinator at Northwestern State University (LA). Since August, he has been working with Northwood Academy and coaches the running backs, wide receivers and defensive backs. He graduated from University of Texas-Austin in 2008 with a degree in Kinesiology.

While Gailey has yet to announce his defensive backs coach, he stated that he would personally serve as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

“Coach Gailey is a very serious competitor and has been earnest in assembling a top staff, one that could orchestrate a very fine NFL caliber team,” noted Tommy McQueeney, the bowl’s chairman. “His history of demanding performance has resulted in his career success.”

Set for 2 pm on Saturday, January 11 at The Citadel’s Johnson Hagood Stadium, the Medal of Honor Bowl is a premier all-star game featuring the nation’s top draft-eligible college football players as projected for the NFL draft.
