    30 years overdue, but finally. I do wish they had installed him before he passed away.

        Finally, but 13 years too late.

        And a big thank-you to Dan Fouts for presenting his case, year after year.

          Oh my god. I never expected it. Congratulations Don, there has rarely been a more deserving candidate, a man who left his impact on future generations of football. A man who is partially responsible for the way the game is played today.
          Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.
          The Wasted Decade is done.
          Build Back Better.

                Thank you! Don Coryell was my favorite non player on the Chargers. He revolutionized the game and the team. They were so fun to watch during his years. We were lucky to have him.

                  I was watching NFL Honors and was about to go to work when they announced the inductees. Then when I saw Fouts, my eyes started to water up. The when I heard his name, it brought me back to when I first started to love the Chargers. Air Coryell../ Man this news made my day.

                          about gawd damn time is right

                          that class yesterdy was so underwhelming
                          Zach Thomas - nice play - solid. but transcendant, no. Just a good solid football player
                          Ronde Barber - good player
                          Revis - had a few good years, very good years I gues

                          Joe Thomas - probably deserved it. But again - he did play every snap for a lousy team so he probably got "sympathy votes" for that

                          The NFLHOF has become a joke but thankfully they finally put in Coryell
