He has coached some of college and professional football's best passing quarterbacks including Kim Hammond, Gary Huff, Bill Cappleman, Don Strock, Tommy Warren, Dan Pastorini and Lynn Dickey.
He played quarterback at William & Mary under Lou Holtz and finished 14th in the nation in passing in 1963 behind names like Don Trull, George Mira, Jerry Rhome, Roger Staubach and Craig Morton. Dan played quarterback for the San Diego Chargers from 1964 through 1967.
Dan was an assistant coach under Bill Peterson at Florida State from 1968 through 1970 before moving to Virginia Tech in 1971. He rejoined Peterson as quarterback and receivers coach with the Houston Oilers in 1972, returned to Virginia Tech in 1973 under Charlie Coffey and returned to Florida State in 1974 under Darrell Mudra. In 1975 Dan served as resident manager of security for John C. Mandel Co. at the World Trade Center.
Born in the Bronx, Dan graduated from St. Francis Prep in Brooklyn where he was all-league and all-city."
