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.
Don Coryell, the the former Chargers and St. Louis Cardinals head coach, advanced in August as the non-player candidate from a group of 12 coaches and contributors, among them Super Bowl-winning coaches Mike Shanahan and Mike Holmgren.
He will be inducted into the Canton, Ohio shrine if he is supported by at least 80 percent of the full Hall panel.
