Terry Donahue (born June 24, 1944, in Los Angeles, California) is a former college football coach and NFL general manager, and a current football analyst.

Player

Terry graduated from Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California. Donahue played defensive line at UCLA. After graduating, he became an assistant coach at the University of Kansas under Pepper Rodgers.

Coach

In 1971, he returned to UCLA when Rodgers became the head coach there. After Rodgers left, Terry was an assistant under Dick Vermeil. Donahue is 2nd winningest coach in Pacific-10 Conference (92 league victories) and UCLA (151 wins) history. He compiled a record of 8-4-1 in bowl games and was the first coach in NCAA history to win a bowl game in seven consecutive seasons.

His UCLA teams won or shared 5 Pacific 10 Conference championships and won 3 Rose Bowl games (1983,1984, and 1986). He was 10-9-1 against USC in the UCLA-USC rivalry. His teams won four New Year's Day Bowl games in a row from 1983 to 1986.

Media

He was the lead college football analyst for CBS Sports from 1996 to 1998, and was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2000.

General manager

He was the hand-picked successor to Bill Walsh as general manager of the San Francisco 49ers (2001-2005), though the franchise fell from grace during this period ending nearly two decades of NFL dominance. [San Francisco 49ers] Among other things, "Donahue's draft record was spotty and the granting of a combined $19 million in signing bonuses to cornerback Ahmed Plummer and running back Kevan Barlow was questioned." [ [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/01/06/SPG21ALTBD1.DTL&hw=terry+donahue&sn=008&sc=578 49ERS CLEAN HOUSE / Whatís up, Doc? / Erickson, Donahue are fired ] ] "Many around the NFL believe Donahue was even more responsible for the 49ers' demise [during this era of team history] than co-owner John York, who's often portrayed as the fall guy." [ [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/01/09/SPGLGANM761.DTL&hw=terry+donahue&sn=003&sc=737 ANALYSIS / Donahue deserves most of blame for 14 losses ] ] Although, in Bill Walsh's obituary, it is mentioned that Walsh was widely thought to be disappointed with York, brother-in-law of former owner Edward J. DeBartolo Jr., who seized control of the team in 1998 and presided over the 49ers' regression to the bottom of the league.
