For the old-timers...when did Cholly Mac first get on the hot seat?

As I remember it, it didn't matter what his record was - Cholly Mac was not Paul Dietzel, therefore there was controversy about his hire from the very start. The drums beat throughout his entire tenure, but got louder over time as the Bear's hated/dreaded shadow remained and was cast long and dark over Death Valley during most of those years due to Mac's inability to beat the Tide on any consistent basis.
