The 1974 Windham Bombers football team finished the season with a 9-0-1 overall record. The team was coached by legendary Stan Parrish, who famously went on to a storied coaching career in the college ranks.

Parrish was an assistant at Windham from 1969-71, then took over the program as the head coach in 1972, with the ’74 season being his last with the Bombers.

His coaching career then spanned stints at Purdue, Wabash, Marshall, Kansas State, Rutgers, Michigan, Ball State and Eastern Michigan. He also spent two seasons (2002 and 2003) in the NFL as the quarterbacks coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Week 1: Southeast, 30-0

Week 2: Field, 21-11

Week 3: Rootstown, 12-7

Week 4: Garfield, 14-12
