Donald LeRoy Doll (August 29, 1926 – September 22, 2010), also known as Don Burnside, was an American football player and coach.

After retiring as a player, Doll worked as a football coach for 34 years, serving as the head coach at West Contra Costa Junior College in 1956 and as an assistant coach with the University of Washington (1955), USC (1957–1958), Notre Dame (1959–1962), Detroit Lions (1963–1964), Los Angeles Rams (1965), Washington Redskins (1966–1970), Green Bay Packers (1971–1973), Baltimore Colts (1974), Miami Dolphins (1975–1976), San Francisco 49ers (1977) and Detroit Lions (1978–1988).

Doll attended Grant Union High School in Sacramento, California, where he was an all-league quarterback.

He played halfback on both offense and defense (the norm in 1944), intercepting a Bob Waterfield pass and returning it 16 yards to the UCLA 22-yard line.

Prior to the final regular season game (a re-match against UCLA), Al Wolf of the Los Angeles Times called him "S.C.'s 18-year-old freshman whiz.

Los Angeles Times sports writer Braven Dyer wrote that Doll "shouldered the ball carrying burden almost single handedly" in the Rose Bowl.

[7] After playing in the Rose Bowl game, Doll was inducted into the United States Marine Corps.

He served aboard the battleship USS Missouri and was an eyewitness to the Japanese surrender ceremony on the ship's deck on September 2, 1945.

[8] Doll was honorably discharged from the military in June 1946 and returned to USC in time for summer practice.

[10] In the final game of the season, a 20–14 victory over Tulane in New Orleans, Doll had a key interception and return for 34 yards.

[15] The 1947 Trojans won the Pacific Coast Conference championship and faced Michigan's famed "Mad Magicians" team in the 1948 Rose Bowl.

Sports writer Maxwell Stiles wrote, "Don Doll was a power in the secondary until he was forced out with what was reported to be a broken arm.

[19] At the end of the 1948 season, Doll was selected as a first-team halfback on the Associated Press All-Pacific Coast Team.

In a 1954 profile on Doll, a reporter noted, "Don, who's built like a bank clerk, piano tuner, soda jerk, errand boy or -- egad -- even a sports writer doesn't look any more like a pro gridder than your cousin Joe.

"[9] Doll explained how he handled the disparity in size with the players he was required to tackle: I just throw a shoulder into 'em and hit 'em low.

[28] In 2008, Doll was selected as a member of the Lions' 75th Season All-Time Team, recognizing him as "one of franchise's greatest players.

[2] At the start of the 1953 NFL season, Doll was traded by the Lions to the Washington Redskins, where he played under head coach Curly Lambeau.

In January 1954, Doll was traded to the Los Angeles Rams in a three-team, multi-player deal that also sent Night Train Lane to the Chicago Cardinals.

[31] In 1956, Doll accepted a head coaching position at West Contra Costa Junior College.

[32] Prior to the 1959 game between USC and Notre Dame, Braven Dyer warned in the Los Angeles Times that the man who had "mapped SC's secondary defense" was "now in the camp of the enemy.

[34] Doll was Notre Dame's backfield coach throughout Kuharich's tenure which ended after the 1962 season.

At the end of the 1964 season, Doll was "swept out" of the Lions organization when team owner William Clay Ford "purged the coaching staff.

He helped mold the Packers' backfield into what The New York Times called "one of the National Football League's stingiest pass defenses.

"[39] In February 1974, after undergoing hip surgery, Doll was hired by the Baltimore Colts as defensive coordinator and secondary coach.

In January 1977, the Dolphins announced that they were restructuring the defensive coaching staff and would not renew Doll's contract.
