1962
Dave Skrien took over as the team's head coach midway though the '61 season, and he would immediately begin to turn the clubs' fortunes around. He would serve as the Leos' bench boss until 1967, and although the team finished 7-9 in '62, there was noticeable improvement. After eight years of hard work, the Lions were on the verge of success for the first time.
