Coors Mike Ditka Super Bowl Ad

Coors launched the latest ads in its "Coaches" marketing campaign in connection with the announcement of a contest to give away tickets to Super Bowl XLIII and Super Bowl XLIV. The first commercial, which launched in December 2008, features Mike Ditka.Market Wire: Coors...Serves up...Access to NFL Fans (Dec. 8, 2008)

The ad takes actual game and post -game footage of the two coaches, and intersperses it with scripted fan comments to create a commercial that appears to have the coaches discussing the importance of Coors beer.
