1999 IN REVIEW
With Ray Rhodes now holding the coaching reigns, the Packers got off to a 3-1 start winning all three games in the final minute. After losing four of their next five as Brett Favre played through a sprained thumb, the Packers looked to have the playoffs sewn up. However, three straight losses would drop them out of the playoffs, as they won their last game of the season to finish 8-8. Saying that the Packers lacked the toughness and fire he desired, GM Ron Wolf relieved Rhodes on his head coaching duties the evening of the team's final game, also firing all of the assistant coaches.
RAY RHODES - WHAT WENT WRONG?
Ray Rhodes and Scooter McLean remain the only two men to spend one season as head coach of the Green Bay Packers. McLean's tenure was a 1-10-1 disaster, despite the fact he had a roster filled with future stars. Rhodes found himself with an 8-8 team that was a Super Bowl participant two years earlier. He was fired one year after signing a four-year, $4 million contract to replace Mike Holmgren. So what went wrong in Green Bay? With less than a month to go in the season, Packer GM Ron Wolf dismissed as "ludicrous" the idea that he would fire Rhodes. Yet, Wolf fired Rhodes just hours after Green Bay missed the playoffs for the first time in seven years. "This decision was extremely difficult because of the respect and admiration I have for all the coaches and families involved," general manager Ron Wolf said today. "For whatever reason, our players did not respond to this program. We will begin our search for a new coach at once." Wolf sounded like a man who had hired a coach who did not deliver what he promised or projected. "Is he a different coach than I thought he was?" he said of Rhodes. "Yes, the answer to that is yes. What I think we have to have here is a well disciplined, tough, hard-nosed football team. That's the way you're successful in this business. We have to develop that. We don't have that here." When asked what Rhodes' response to his dismissal was, Wolf said: "I don't think he's very pleased with it, but I think he understood. We had a long and involved conversation last night." The Packers started out 4-2, but two three-game losing streaks sent the season down in flames. As the streaks occurred, grumblings began that Rhodes didn't assert enough control over his players. It was an ironic twist for the players, who quietly criticized Holmgren for being too dictatorial when he left Green Bay a year ago. Even Brett Favre sounded a bit like a player who did not completely understand where the wheels fell off. "This is a total surprise," Favre told the Green Bay Press-Gazette after the firing. "I thought he was a real good coach. Guys related to him well because he was a former player. I think what happened, to a certain degree, guys took advantage. And Ray, he wanted to trust in guys." Packer president Bob Harlan, in his autobiography, explained, to the best account we have found so far, the final steps in the end of the Rhodes era: He (Wolf) pretty much stuck with Ray until we got into December, and then his whole attitude changed. The college football season had ended, giving Ron time to go down to the practice field where he could watch the team during the week. After we lost back-to-back games to Carolina and Minnesota, alarm had really set in with him, and he told me, "I think we're going to make a change, but let's see where we are." I asked him what had changed his mind, and he said, "He's a different coach than I thought he was." He told me that things looked good when he watched the team during training camp, but there was a different pulse on the practice field now and it was being reflected in our play. "These players aren't having any fun," he said. "There's no drive down there. Ray has lost the team."

SUPER BOWL 34 (January 30, 2000 at Atlanta)
ST. LOUIS RAMS (15-3) 23, TENNESSEE TITANS (16-3) 16 - Mike Jones tackled Kevin Dyson at the 1-yard line as time expired, preserving the Rams' first-ever Super Bowl title. The Rams drove inside the Titans' 20 with each of their first six possessions, but compiled just 3 field goals and 1 touchdown to take a 16-0 lead. Holder Mike Horan's bobbled snap averted a 35-yard field-goal attempt to conclude the Rams' first drive. The Titans responded with a 42-yard drive, their longest of the half, but Al Del Greco missed a 47-yard attempt. Jeff Wilkins added 3 field goals and missed a 34-yard attempt while the Titans did not threaten the rest of the half, giving the Rams a 9-0 lead at the intermission despite outgaining the Titans in total yards (294-89). Tennessee drove 43 yards with the second half's opening kickoff, but Todd Lyght blocked Del Greco's 47-yard attempt to keep the Titan's off the board. Kurt Warner's 31-yard pass to Isaac Bruce keyed the ensuing drive that was capped by Warner's 9-yard touchdown pass to Torry Holt with 7:20 left in the third quarter to give the Rams a 16-0 lead. The Titans responded with touchdown drives in excess of seven minutes on each of their next two possessions. Steve McNair's 23-yard scramble set up Eddie George's 1-yard run in the final minute of the third quarter. McNair's 2-point conversion pass to Frank Wycheck was incomplete, but the Titan's defense forced a punt and the offense drove 79 yards in 13 plays, highlighted by 21-yard passes to Isaac Byrd and Jackie Harris, and capped by George's 2-yard run to cut the deficit to 16-13 with 7:21 remaining. The Rams once again failed to get a first down, and following a punt, the Titans needed just 28 yards to set up Del Greco's game-tying 43-yard kick with 2:12 left. On the next play from scrimmage, Warner fired a deep pass down the right sideline to Bruce, who caught the ball at the Titan's 38, cut toward the inside, and outran the defense to the end zone to give the Rams a 23-16 lead with 1:54 left. The Titans drove downfield, and McNair avoided a sack and completed a 16-yard pass to Kevin Dyson to place Tennessee at the Rams' 10 with six seconds remaining. With no timeouts, McNair attempted a quick pass to a slanting Dyson, who caught the ball in stride at the Rams' 3. However, Jones reacted quickly and stepped up to tackle Dyson at the 1-yardline as time expired. Warner, who was named the game's most valuable player, was 24 of 45 for a Super Bowl-record 414 yards and 2 touchdowns. Bruce had 6 catches for 162 yards, and Holt had 7 for 109 yards. McNair was 22 of 26 for 214 yards. The Titans were the first team to come back from a 16-point deficit
INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL FEDERATION - The league, which would play in the spring of 2000, had 13 proposed franchises - New York, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Denver, Anaheim, Los Angeles, Toronto (Turbos), San Jose, Houston, Hartford (Connecticut Patriots) and Hawaii. WHA founder Dennis Murphy and Edward Litwack, the league's president and chief executive officer, acknowledged having preliminary discussions with NBC and Turner Broadcasting, the networks that lost out in the $18 billion NFL contract negotiated in 1998. Entertainer Dionne Warwick was identified as a part owner of the two franchises in Southern California. The league was never heard from after its first press conference.
TURNER-NBC FOOTBALL LEAGUE - First unveiled in May 1998, the new league would begin in eight cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Atlanta, as well as in mid-sized markets such as Salt Lake City, Orlando,and Birmingham. The league would target the smaller markets to ensure a strong fan base, essential for survival, according to league executives. The schedule would extend 12 to 16 weeks, likely starting in July or August to avoid too much overlap with the NFL, which starts in September. Ad execs said they liked the July-September time frame because of a dearth of major sports at that time of year, except for baseball. The networks said they were looking at a start in 1999 or 2000, but the proposed league, which had grown to 12 franchises, folded when the two networks worked out a $1.2 billion deal with NASCAR. NBC and Turner entered into six-year contracts with NASCAR beginning in 2001 that would provide sports programming for Sundays in July and August that would conflict with the proposed schedule of a summer football league. NBC did cast its lot with the XFL in 2001 and found itself on the end of the worst ratings in sports television history.
XTREME FOOTBALL LEAGUE (INDOOR) - The formation of the league was announced at an April 1999 news conference in Birmingham. The plans were to begin play in April 2000 with 10 to 12 teams committed by June 1. The XFL's playing season would be April through August. Alabama sports entrepreneur Art Clarkson would serve as acting Commissioner of the league as well as own the Tennessee Valley (Huntsville, AL) franchise. Clarkson named the cities that had already committed: Birmingham, Greenville (SC), Tennessee Valley (Huntsville, AL), Jacksonville, Norfolk (VA), Pensacola, Richmond (VA), Roanoke (VA) and Tallahassee (FL). Other cities that were considered: Charleston (SC), Fayetteville (NC), Winston-Salem (NC). By June 1999, Biloxi (MS), Greensboro (NC), Lafayette (LA) and Little Rock (AR) were also mentioned as possible franchise sites. In July 1999, it was announced that the Xtreme Football League would merge with arenafootball2, with the XFL teams from Birmingham, Greenville (SC), Tennessee Valley (Huntsville, AL), Jacksonville, Norfolk (VA), Pensacola, Richmond (VA), Roanoke (VA) and Tallahassee (FL) would be joining the previously committed AF2 teams from Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Quad Cities (IL/IA) and Tulsa (OK). The XFL members each paid $150,000 to enter the af2.
