(Super Bowl-SB; Conference Championship-CC; Divisional Playoff-DP; Wildcard-WC)
1968-DP
1969-DP
1970-DP
1971-DP
1972-DP
1973-DP
1974-DP
1975-DP
1976-DP
1977-CC
1978-SB
1979-CC
1980-WC
1981-DP, SB
1982-CC
1983-DP
1984-DP, SB
1985-DP
1986-CC
1987-DP
1988-None
1989-WC
1990-WC
1991-DP
1992-None

Good info, Teo. That's a darn good resume for any official. Would it be safe to say that Haggerty worked more playoff games than any other official?

I think Markbriet has him beat by one, if you count the Pro Bowl, or tied if you dont (assuming Haggerty only worked the SB in the years he had that game). 1976: Not eligible 1977: 1st year as WH, not eligible? 1978: PB 1979: DIV 1980: CC 1981: DIV 1982: DIV, SB 1983: CC 1984: CC (SB Alt) 1985: DIV 1986: DIV, SB 1987: DIV (SB Alt) 1988: DIV 1989: CC 1990: CC 1991: WC, SB 1992: CC 1993: CC (SB Alt) 1994: WC, SB 1995: DIV 1996: CC 1997: DIV 1998: DIV |

Another question: When did the NFL start having officials work a game during the 1st two rounds of the playoffs and then working the Super Bowl? I see that Haggerty only worked the Super Bowl in 1981, and worked both a divisional game and the Super Bowl in 1984.

In 1992 he was already battling cancer. Jerry Seeman approached him after 1992 and retired him. One of the things I disagreed with Seeman's tenure was his way of running off veteran officials. What is most impressive about Haggerty's assignments is that in the 60s and 70s there was NO Wild Card game. There were only two rounds of playoffs - divisionals and CC. From 1977-86 he was the best referee in the NFL. |

Was Haggerty the best over that span? I'm not sure I would agree with that; not that he wasn't a very good referee but then again that was a golden era what with guys like Markbreit, Barth, Jorgenson Silva, McElwee, Austin, Frederick, Dreith. It's funny though. The job must have been really pressurized as too many of them left us at comparatively young ages. It also seemed as if Pat was a tad sloppy in game administration, at least that was the impression I had (you're welcome of course to disagree).

His mic work was fast and choppy that gave the impression that he was nervous. However, his judgement always seemed to be good. |

25 consecutive years in the playoffs?
Wow! Seems like HOF material to me.

The 80's were feast or famine for Tunney.
