Ernie Zampese of ‘Air Coryell’ Chargers, Rams, dies at 86
AP Pro Football Writer
The Chargers said in a statement Monday that “decades removed from those Air Coryell teams, his influence on the modern NFL – from X’s and O’s to the players and coaches he touched – can still be felt.”“He meant a great deal,” Fouts told The Associated Press. “Obviously, the way that he and Don Coryell worked together to develop this amazing passing attack and offense. But you know, even more than that, I mean, everybody loved Ernie.
Zampese was the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots from 1998-99 and ended his career with four seasons as a consultant: two in Dallas and one each with the St. Louis Rams and Washington . “Some things, obviously internally, we are just praying for our guys,” quarterback Carson Wentz said. “We’re a family and we want to keep it that way and pray for everybody when they’re going through stuff off the field.”
After four years as the receivers coach on Coryell’s staff, Zampese was the assistant head coach in charge of the passing game for three seasons, then offensive coordinator for one.
