Don Coryell Elected to NFL Hall of Fame

Post by Number6 »

In a long, overdue recognition one of the most innovative coaches in NFL history has been elected to the NFL Hall of Fame. Don Coryell, former head coach of the San Diego Charges and St. Louis will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023. Coryell's innovative passing attack, aka "Air Coryell," changed the offensive of the game and,in turn, forced defenses to change to defend against it.
Legendary Chargers head coach Don Coryell has been elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2023. This year's class of Hall of Fame inductees were announced at the NFL Honors ceremony.

Coryell was voted into Canton as a Coach/Contributor finalist by the Hall of Fame's Selection Committee. This year, the Hall of Fame's Board of Trustees adjusted the selection process. The revisions called for one Coach/Contributor candidate to be elected in the classes of 2023, 2024 and 2025.

He spent five seasons as coach of the Cardinals (1973-1977) and nine with the Chargers (1978-86), finishing his career with an all-time coaching record of 111-83-1. Eight of Coryell's 15 seasons as head coach were capped off with winning records.
