Richard "Dick" Enright (born c. 1935) is a former American football player and coach. He served as the head football coach at the University of Oregon〔McCann, Michael C. (1995). Oregon Ducks Football: 100 Years of Glory. Eugene, OR: McCann Communications Corp. ISBN 0-9648244-7-7.〕 from 1972 to 1973, compiling a record of 6–16. Enright attended the University of Southern California.〔Mike Sager, (Todd Marinovich: The Man Who Never Was ), ''Esquire'', April 14, 2009, Accessed April 25, 2009.〕 Prior to his time at Oregon, Enright was the head coach at Gardena High School and won the CIF Los Angeles City Section football championship in 1969. () From 1970 to 1972, Enright served as offensive line coach for the Oregon Ducks, under head coach Jerry Frei. As head coach, Enright helped develop quarterback Dan Fouts. After leading the Ducks to 4–7 and 2–9 seasons, Enright was fired by Oregon in January 1974, with the university buying out the remainder of his five-year contract.〔(UO Head Coach Dick Enright ), University of Oregon: Special Collections & University Archives, Accessed April 25, 2009.〕 During his tenure as head coach, Enright created the Daisy Ducks, an Oregon support club aimed at women. He claimed he created the organization because he was tired of complaints that men could not get their wives to attend football games because they did not understand the sport; the club proved popular.〔Tess McBride, (Daisy Duck ), ''Oregon Daily Emerald'', September 26, 2006, Accessed April 25, 2009.〕 After leaving Oregon, Enright was hired to coach the offensive line of the Southern California Sun of the short-lived professional World Football League. After the league folded in the middle of the 1975 season, Enright moved on to coach the offensive line coach of the San Francisco 49ers.〔〔(Oregon ), Helmet Hut, Accessed April 25, 2009.〕 Enright later became head coach at Capistrano Valley High School, a public school in Mission Viejo, California. During this time, Enright's old USC alum and friend Marv Marinovich decided to have his son, quarterback Todd Marinovich transfer to Capistrano Valley to play under Enright.〔 Todd, already a highly touted high school player, flourished and broke the all-time Orange County passing record and later the national high school passing record with 9,914 yards, including 2,477 his senior year.〔Douglas S.
