Donald Joseph Strock (born November 27, 1950) is an American former professional football player and coach.

He played as a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) with the Miami Dolphins (1973–1987), Cleveland Browns (1988), and Indianapolis Colts (1989).

Strock played college football for the Virginia Tech Hokies and was selected by the Dolphins in the fifth round of the 1973 NFL draft.

[1] The college game was then dominated by running backs; the 1972 Heisman went to wingback Johnny Rodgers of Nebraska.

[2] To date, Strock still holds many collegiate football passing records at his alma mater[3] and was inducted into the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame in 1985.

Prior to being named head coach he was the director of football operations, a job he had obtained the year before.

His resignation came after an 0–9 start and a much-publicized brawl against the university of Miami Hurricanes caused 16 players from FIU to be suspended.
