Donald Bert Read (December 15, 1933 – January 3, 2024) was an American college football coach and athletics administrator. He was the head coach at Portland State University (1968–1971,1981–1985), the University of Oregon (1974–1976),[1] the Oregon Institute of Technology (1977–1980), and the University of Montana (1986–1995), compiling a career college football record of 155–126–1 (.551).
From 1968 to 1971 and 1981 to 1985, Read led the Portland State Vikings to a 39–52–1 record. From 1974 to 1976, he guided the Oregon Ducks to a 9–24 record (3–18 in Pac-8);[2][3][4] the two previous seasons he mentored quarterbacks and receivers under head coach Dick Enright.[5]
Read's best success came at Montana, where he went 85–36 (.702), including three 11-win seasons and an NCAA Division I-AA Championship in his final year of coaching, 1995.[6][7] Read resided in Corvallis, Oregon, where he participated in scouting and game planning for Oregon State football.
Read died on January 3, 2024, at the age of 90.[8]
