Donald Carl Breaux (born August 3, 1940) is an American former professional football player and coach.
He also appeared in seven games for the San Diego Chargers in 1965, though he only reached 10 attempts in two of them, and logged two touchdowns to four interceptions on the season.
[3] Breaux was an assistant coach at Florida State from 1966 to 1967, where he worked with Joe Gibbs under Bill Peterson, men who would have a major impact on the rest of his career.
Peterson had attended Chargers training camp to develop an advanced pass system, and hired Breaux as a natural fit.
Gibbs credits Breaux with inventing the H-back position, revolutionizing the passing game, and being an instrumental part of three Washington Redskins Super Bowl victories.
