Just one week after the Gateway's article "Marlin 'The Magician' Briscoe is Happy Pro," the followup article "Briscoe Not Happy?" hit. Briscoe's bright future dimmed after a falling out with Coach Don Shula of the Miami Dolphins, leaving Briscoe feeling sufficiently discontented that he was considering leaving the Dolphins. <br /><br />Source: "Briscoe Not Happy?" <em>Gateway</em>.

Marlin 'The Magician' Briscoe is Happy Pro
Briscoe, Marlin, 1945-
Five years after Marlin Briscoe moved on from OU, the Gateway did a feature on his early pro career. After a frustrating year with the Denver Broncos, Briscoe signed with the Buffalo Bills, where he played as a wide receiver, though he would have preferred to be a quarterback. After that, he went to the Miami Dolphins, where he played on two Super Bowl championship squads. At the time the article was written, he was temporarily out of service due to an injury. Just days after this article was published, Briscoe would be deactivated by the Dolphins, squelching the optimism he expressed here. <br /><br />Source: Vermaas, Herb.

Marlin Briscoe and teammate Bill Haas both landing pro contracts was big news for OU. Briscoe was drafted by the AFL for the Denver Broncos, and he received numerous awards, such as the Omaha World-Herald Athlete of the Year and the Omaha Sportscasters Gold Helmet award.
