Mike Donnelly Passes





The man who put together Columbia's greatest defensive units in modern history has passed away. 

Mike Donnelly, who left the job as the Lions defensive coordinator in 1997 to take the head coaching job at Muhlenberg College, died yesterday of leukemia at age 65. He had held that head coaching job at Muhlenberg for the last 22 years and seen great success there.

Because of that success, I called for him to be considered as the replacement for Norries Wilson in 2011. 

Our condolences go out to his family, friends, and players.
