Don Coryell dead at age 85

[Cowboy Bill Watts]

i always thought landry and coryell were cut of the same cloth -- innovators.

coaches willing to think outside the box.

tough to come by anymore

All that separated Bill Walsh from Coryell is a good defense.

I agree...

Rest in peace, Coach Coryell

Never heard a word of this in the news.

R.I.P.

IMO, it is a joke, and a very bad one, that Coryell is not in the HOF yet.

well, Walsh only ended up in SF cause Paul Brown didnt want him as the Cincy head coach....imagine how the landscape of football changes if Walsh becomes the Cincy head coach.....there would be no WCO to speak of.

Walsh is not the originator of the WCO. Paul Brown is. He just refined it.

He used to give the Cowboys fits when he was coaching St. Louis.

Yes he did Chief.

RIP Donald David Coryell.
