Well deserved, indeed!
In the current state of our world, it's heartening to see good things happen to good people
and Don Donoher is just that. A big "congrats" to a classy guy!

Congrats Coach, one of the all time great college coaches. I used to work with a woman who is good friends with his wife. She mentioned more than once what a great guy DD is.

then coach blackburn too ...
a caller to " flyer feedback" after the SEMO game asked how Coach Donoher could be recognized before Coach Blackburn.
John Bedell was incredibly rude, acting like it was a regular caller who was beating a dead horse.
i think it's a **** good question. nothing against coach donoher, but coach blackburn laid the foundation for everything after. they both deserve it.

TV coverage?
Does anyone know if the awards ceremony will be on TV? I couldn't find it anywhere.

They don't come any better, or classier, than Coach Donoher. They just don't.

Weren't we lucky to have him . . . and that he turned down the Navy job at one point.

Columbia Blue is right; Bedell was a total ass to the caller...total ass.
But then, it's "so called" Flyer Feedback. So why on earth would a lifelong fan call to talk about the two most famous and successful coaches in UD history? Obviously, lifelong and hall-of-fame sports journalist broadcaster Bedell sees a disconnect between the caller's question, and the incredible show he host which features the same six guests over and over again. No offense to those folks, but Bedell should be more grateful that someone else called the show.

Agree with those who said Bedell was rude. The CORRECT answer that he SHOULD HAVE given was " Both Coach Donoher AND Coach Blackburn deserve to be in the Hall of Fame".
Nice to see that Coach Donoher is finally getting his just reward for a career well done. I only met him once, at the Open House for the Center named for him. My mom, wife, daughter and I all went. Mom knew him (from a distance) from working on campus. I introduced him to my then-preschool aged daughter. She seemed in awe, and he couldn't have been more gracious and humble. That's what you call a "class act"!
A fitting honor for a great man. Congratulations, Coach!

I heard the exchange on the way home from the game. I took it from their back and forth that this particular caller has called in several times before with the same question and argument and attitude. While I agree Bedell could have handled it better, I believe he was trying to move on to get to more relevant post game discussion. Just my humble take on it.

I understand what Bedell was saying and doing; and yet he showed a lack of professionalism. At least we know Mark Adams didn't run the show like that.

Coach Donoher was bigger than life to me when I was a teenager. I listened to every coaches show on radio and TV. I loved it at the end of every pregame discussion, when Bucky would say "Good luck tonight Coach". And prior to the pregame interview, Bucky would always say "Now stay tuned for Coaches Corner.
