Halas helmed the team from their inception in 1920 until 1967, missing only a few season in-between. Papa Bear's record was 318-48.

Pardee had the team for only three seasons, and left the Bears with a 20-22 record.

He rushed for 1231 yards with a 5.8 average. In 1969, he topped the 1000-mark again with 1032 yards. Payton reached 1000 yards in his second Bear season also, rushing for 1390 yards. Payton would go on to rush for over 1000 yards in 10 of his next 11 seasons.
