Most stints with the same team

Post by NWebster »

I was surprised to see Bruce Irvin back with the Seahawks this season, that makes it his third stint with the same team interrupted by playing elsewhere. I can think of tons of two-stint players are there other threes, or fours, or more?

George Halas had four different coaching "stints" with the Bears.

It seemed like Bert Rechichar had three stints with the Colts because like Alex Hawkins later, Rech had a way of getting sent by teams back to Baltimore. Weeb Ewbank loved him as a tough competitor, even taking his suggestions at who needed to be cut from the team but Weeb didnt like Bert blowing money with the players in public and according to Fatso Donovan, Rechichar had ALOT of it ...

George Allen had three stints as a coach with the Rams. He coached the receivers in 1957, only to be fired. Allen was the head coach of the Rams from 1966 through 1970. He was fired in 1968 but rehired a short time later. Then he was hired again in 1978, only to be fired after two pre-season games. He was fired four times by the Rams.

You wouldn't know it from his PFR page but Vance Johnson had three separate stints with the Broncos. He played for the Broncos from 1985-92. After being traded to the Vikings in 1993, he was cut, and then rejoined the Broncos for the 1993 season. He signed with the Chargers as a free agent in 1994 but was released in training camp. Johnson resurfaced with the Broncos in 1995.
