1975
With Eric Guthrie and Peter Liske relieving Moorhead at quarterback, the Lions lost five of their first six games before a major change was made in August. GM Parker and Coach Keys are both replaced, with Bob Ackles moving up from his assistant General Manager post and Cal Murphy elevated to Head Coach. The club played .500 football the rest of the way but the 6-10 record left them in fifth. Byron Bailey becomes the first BC player elected to the Football Hall of Fame.
