Wally English

Wallace Gregory English (June 28, 1934 – April 17, 2024) He was offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Panthers under Jackie Sherrill in 1979 and 1980, where he coached future Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino. English was hired by Don Shula to be the Miami Dolphins' quarterbacks and receivers coach in 1981 and 1982. The Dolphins played in Super Bowl XVII following the strike-shortened 1982 season, but lost to the Washington Redskins.

English was the head football coach at Tulane University from 1983 to 1984, compiling a record of 5–17 (7–15 on the field; 1983 wins vs. Ole Miss and Florida State were forfeited when his son, quarterback Jon English, played in violation of NCAA eligibility rules).

In August 1988, English was hired to coach the revived Southeastern Louisiana Lions football team. He was fired three months later, without ever coaching a game, due to "philosophical differences" with athletic director Bob Brodhead.

In 2003, English was hired to replace Jeff Brohm as the head coach of the Louisville Fire af2 team. He was fired after just two games with a record of 1–1.

English died in April 2024, aged 89.
