The 2023 Pro Football Hall of Fame class was announced Thursday at the NFL Honors ceremony, and a former Cardinals coach has made it.
Don Coryell, who coached the St. Louis Cardinals from 1973-1977, went 42-29-1 and is third in franchise history in wins.
He led the Cardinals to three consecutive 10-win seasons and two straight division titles. He was the NFL Coach of the Year in 1974.
He would go on to coach the Chargers and revolutionize the passing game in the NFL with his “Air Coryell” offense.
In a coaching career that spanned 36 years, Coryell was the first coach ever to win more than 100 games at both the college and NFL levels. A former defensive back at the University of Washington, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1999. Coryell died in 2010 at the age of 85.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2023 enshrinement ceremony will be Saturday, August 5 in Canton, Ohio.
