Biography current as of induction in 2013

Widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, Joe Montana led the San Francisco 49ers to four Super Bowl victories. Nicknamed “Joe Cool,” Montana exhibited grace under pressure that translated to a remarkable 31 fourth quarter come-from-behind wins in his career.

Montana passed for more than 300 yards in 39 games, including seven in which he passed for over 400 yards. He won the NFL passing title in 1987 and 1989, and his six 300-yard passing performances in the post-season are an NFL record. He also holds the career playoff record for attempts, completions, touchdowns, and yards gained passing. In 1994 Montana became just the fifth quarterback to pass for more than 40,000 yards in a career.

He led his team to the playoffs eleven times, captured nine division championships and four Super Bowl victories. The only player ever to win

    Joe Cool

    Throughout the years, quarterbacks have been seen talking on a telephone on the sidelines during games, which are typically used to communicate with coordinators who watch the contest from a booth. During an interview with NFL Films, Montana revealed that one day he found out the sideline phones could dial out.

    "I don't know what made me do it," Montana said. "But one day, I had hung up, and I'm sitting there going, 'Hmm, I wonder if these things call out?' So I pick up the phone, ... I hit 9, got a dial tone and I dial my house."

    The QB used the phone on the 49ers sideline to call his wife, Jennifer, during a game.

    "The phone rang, I picked it up and it was Joe," Jennifer said. "He would say, 'I'm calling you to say I love you.'"

    Since the first time he dialed out using a sideline phone, Montana checked in every stadium to see if he could call his wife.
