Early life
Lindsey attended and played high school football at Bowling Green High School in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where he was an All-State player.
College career
After high school, Lindsey signed with the University of Kentucky, where he was part of the infamous Thin Thirty team, but quit the team in the spring of his freshman year. He then transferred to Western Kentucky University, where he starred on WKU's undefeated 1963 team that won the Tangerine Bowl.
Professional career
As a player
Lindsey was drafted in the seventh round of the 1965 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns, where he played from 1965 to 1972. He then signed with the New Orleans Saints in 1973.
As a coach
After his playing career, Lindsey was a coach for several different NFL teams, including the Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, San Diego Chargers, Washington Redskins, Chicago Bears and the San Diego Chargers. He was also a coach for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League and the Boston Breakers and the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League.
He was terminated as the linebackers coach for the Washington Redskins on January 16, 2007. This was his second stint with Washington. He was one of several former NFL coordinators serving as a position coach on the Redskins' coach staff.
Lindsey had a reputation with the Redskins as a tough coach. His feud with LaVar Arrington during the 2005 season led to Arrington's release and subsequent signing with the New York Giants.
Lindsey, now a resident of San Diego, California, lost his home in the wildfires of October 2007.
His home was rebuilt by local remodeling business, Home Remodeling Center, San Marcos, CA.
