was an <a href="/wiki/American_football" title="American football">American football</a> player and coach. He is best known in the United States as the head coach of the <a href="/wiki/New_England_Patriots" title="New England Patriots">New England Patriots</a> of the <a href="/wiki/National_Football_League" title="National Football League">National Football League</a> (NFL) during the <a href="/wiki/1990_New_England_Patriots_season" title="1990 New England Patriots season">1990 season</a>, which ended with a 1–15 record. </p><p>For most of Rust's early coaching career, he was an assistant to one of two coaches: <a href="/wiki/Marv_Levy" title="Marv Levy">Marv Levy</a> or <a href="/wiki/Dick_Vermeil" title="Dick Vermeil">Dick Vermeil</a>. Rust began as an assistant under Levy at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_New_Mexico" title="University of New Mexico">University of New Mexico</a> between 1960 and 1962, before leaving to serve under <a href="/wiki/Dick_Vermeil" title="Dick Vermeil">Dick Vermeil</a> at <a href="/wiki/Stanford_University" title="Stanford University">Stanford University</a>. In 1967, he became the head coach at North Texas State University (now the <a href="/wiki/University_of_North_Texas" title="University of North Texas">University of North Texas</a>), a position he held until 1972. North Texas had a 29–32–1 record during Rust's tenure. </p><p>Rust returned to work for Levy in 1973 as defensive coordinator for the <a href="/wiki/Montreal_Alouettes" title="Montreal Alouettes">Montreal Alouettes</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Football_League" title="Canadian Football League">Canadian Football League</a>. In his three seasons in Montreal, the Alouettes went to two <a href="/wiki/Grey_Cup" title="Grey Cup">Grey Cup</a> finals, winning in 1974. </p><p>In 1976, Rust left the Alouettes to become an assistant with Vermeil's <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Eagles" title="Philadelphia Eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a>. He served as linebackers coach for two seasons before leaving to take the <a href="/wiki/Defensive_coordinator" title="Defensive coordinator">defensive coordinator</a> position with Levy and the <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City_Chiefs" title="Kansas City Chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>. After Levy's firing in 1982, Rust became defensive coordinator of the <a href="/wiki/New_England_Patriots" title="New England Patriots">New England Patriots</a>. Head coach <a href="/wiki/Ron_Meyer" title="Ron Meyer">Ron Meyer</a> fired Rust midway through the 1984 season, but he was later reinstated (with Meyer himself fired). Rust and the Patriots went to <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XX" title="Super Bowl XX">Super Bowl XX</a> (under head coach <a href="/wiki/Raymond_Berry" title="Raymond Berry">Raymond Berry</a>) in 1985, but he left the team after the 1987 season. He returned to the Chiefs for the 1988 season, and moved again to the <a href="/wiki/Pittsburgh_Steelers" title="Pittsburgh Steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> in 1989. </p><p>The Patriots hired Rust as head coach in 1990. The team started out well, with a close loss to the <a href="/wiki/Miami_Dolphins" title="Miami Dolphins">Miami Dolphins</a> and an equally close win over the <a href="/wiki/Indianapolis_Colts" title="Indianapolis Colts">Indianapolis Colts</a>. The bottom quickly fell out, and the Patriots would suffer 14 straight losses, tying the <a href="/wiki/1976_Tampa_Bay_Buccaneers_season" title="1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season">1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a> for the most consecutive losses in a single season in NFL history. Many of these losses came in humiliating fashion. They ultimately finished 1–15, the worst record in franchise history. Many of the holdovers from the <a href="/wiki/Super_Bowl_XX" title="Super Bowl XX">Super Bowl XX</a> team were well past their prime, and there was very little depth behind them. It showed in a ghastly -265 point differential, the worst point differential for any NFL team in the 1990s. </p><p>Rust was fired less than a week after the end of the season by newly hired CEO <a href="/wiki/Sam_Jankovich" title="Sam Jankovich">Sam Jankovich</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <a href="/wiki/New_York_Giants" title="New York Giants">New York Giants</a> hired Rust as defensive coordinator in 1992, and he lasted one season.
