this is way overdue. The Cards were a tough win when he was coach and we faced him twice a season.
His Chargers led the league in passing yards and total yards six consecutive years from 1978 to 1983
Changed the offense in the NFL from run to pass 1st
wish he went in when he was alive
one of the greats

As a HC he was good to very good; certainly not HOF material.
BUT one of the key criteria to making the HOF is to have changed the game. Don Coryell certainly did that and true this is LONG overdue.
