MR KING CORCORAN EXPIRED OF A HEART ATTACK FRIDAY JUNE 19 2009 IN A TAKOMA PARK MD HOSPITAL

Heisman Trophy

The article omits the fact that in the late 1990s Corcoran was a member of the Heisman Trophy Trust. He helped decide which athletes should receive the Heisman Trophy. Should this go in there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.26.159.58 (talk) 18:35, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That appears to be a different Jim Corcoran according to this:

"[Downtown Athletic Club President Jim] Corcoran was more than a college football fan. A defensive back who holds the school records for interceptions since Georgetown resumed football (in Division III) in 1970, Corcoran estimated that he badgered about a dozen pro franchises for a job after his 1982 graduation. He was a fixture at minicamps and training camps. The Redskins, Bears and Bills were just three of the NFL clubs for which he sweated. He had tryouts with the USFL. "I even got cut by the Ottawa Rough Riders," he recalled. At least, in Canada, he got to throw the ball around with namesake Jim "King" Corcoran, the celebrated minor-league quarterback who made Joe Namath appear shy by comparison.

That jibes with something that does belong in the article if we can find a verifiable reference to it -- the fact that Jim "King" Cocoran did play in the Canadian Football League. I remember him doing so, but I have never seen a published reference to this fact, which would belong in the article if someone can find or has access to such. 75.200.29.34 (talk) 21:12, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
