Quarterback, American football player
1915 – 1965
Who was Coley McDonough?
Coleman Regis "Coley" McDonough was a professional American football quarterback in the National Football League. He played four seasons for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Cardinals. In 1944 McDonough also played for "Card-Pitt", a team that was the result of a temporary merger between the Cardinals and the Steelers. The teams' merger was result of the manning shortages experienced league-wide due to World War II. Six days before the team's second game of the season, McDonough was drafted into the United States Army.
Coley later became a Pittsburgh Police Officer, and served 15 years with that department.
On July 5, 1965, Coley was shot and killed in the line of duty, when he and another officer answered a disturbance call.
