Former San Diego Chargers coach, offensive innovator likely to join Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2023
Fans of the late San Diego Chargers deserve some cheerful news. They just might get it Thursday night, when the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2023 is announced.
The echoes of roaring crowds and the disco song “San Diego Super Chargers” will resonate in Mission Valley and throughout San Diego County if the late coach, who died in 2010 at age 85, is inducted. SAN DIEGO - DECEMBER 1: Head coach Don Coryell and quarterback Dan Fouts #14 of the San Diego Chargers discuss strategy on the sidelines during a game against Buffalo Bills at Jack Murphy Stadium on December 1, 1985 in San Diego, California. The Chargers won 40-7.
“I hate that song,” said a former New York Giants defensive assistant named Bill Belichick, who in an October 1980 visit saw Jefferson, Winslow and Joiner all exceed 100 receiving yards in San Diego’s 44-7 victory. “They didn’t get through playing that song before they had scored again and they started playing it again. It was ‘San Diego Super Chargers,’ that’s still ringing in my head.”
Though he never reached the Super Bowl, several of Coryell’s former Chargers assistant coaches and players would win at least one Super Bowl.
