Didn’t Paul Brown start both the Browns and Bengals. And coach them?

Yes on Paul Brown -- first coach of both of the Ohio teams. I posted this a few years back, and Dennis Lyons surprised me by pointing out Lud Wray had been the first coach of both the Philly and Washington franchises. I was so focused on not forgetting Wray this time around that I whiffed on Brown. Apologies; I'll re-work the wording of the question.

Norm Van Brocklin was the inaugural coach of the Vikings and only the second head coach of the Falcons. Close! Not to mention the “Dutchman” was also a HOFer as a player.
