Chargers owner Dean Spanos called Beathard “one of the best judges of football talent in NFL history” in a statement released Wednesday. Part of seven teams that made the Super Bowl during his lengthy front office career, Beathard was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018. Washington added him to the organization’s Ring of Honor in 2016.
“I came to the Redskins from the Miami Dolphins, and the years at the Miami Dolphins including the ’72 season of undefeated teams and being with Shula, I learned a lot more than I ever had up until that time about football,” Beathard said in 2016 at Washington’s training camp in Richmond, Virginia. “So I felt coming into a situation like this that I felt prepared because I never wanted to go into a situation that I felt was too big for me or where I wasn’t prepared.
The Chargers made the playoffs during Beathard’s third season, and they reached Super Bowl XXIX two years later, a 49-26 loss to the Steve Young-led San Francisco 49ers, though he nearly resigned before that 1994 season because of a dispute with owner Alex Spanos.
