Donahue Will Stay at UCLA

UCLA football Coach Terry Donahue, who had been expected to accept an offer to replace former Atlanta Falcons Coach Dan Henning, turned the job down today in a telephone call to team owners.

The Falcons said Donahue, 42, chose to stay at UCLA. The Falcons reportedly offered Donahue a five-year contract worth between $2.4 million and $2.5 million, as well as control of the football operation. Donahue, coach for the Bruins for the last 11 years, has an 88-34-7 record at UCLA.
