R.I.P. Don Coryell

[mdonnelly]

Don Coryell passed away yesterday at 85. Mentor of Joe Gibbs and John Madden, he was a coaching legend in San Diego where I grew up. His San Diego State teams were champions in their class, and his NFL teams (the Cardiac Cardinals and the pass-happy Chargers) were the most exciting teams in the league, although they could never muster enough defense to make the Super Bowl.
