History of The Richard T & Paul Doyle Memorial Award In 1947 the members of the Central Catholic Athletic Association faced their greatest challenge. In order to continue an athletic program at Central Catholic High School (later to become Notre Dame High School), the association had to raise $4,000 to provide a coach and purchase the necessary football equipment. Dick Doyle, then president of the Athletic Association, was determined not to let the athletic program at Central Catholic end. He, along with the 18- member Athletic Board, with tremendous support from Rev, Msgr. T. A. Goebel, pastor of St. Mary’s parish and Rev. Leonard P. Falvey, pastor of Holy Redeemer parish, did indeed meet the challenge and accomplish this goal. The much-needed football equipment was purchased, and Pat F. Darone, a recent graduate of Boston College, was hired as head football coach and athletic director. Central Catholic football was to continue but, due to his tragic death on August 20, 1947, Dick Doyle never witnessed what he had worked so hard to accomplish.

Paul Doyle, Brother of Richard T., the Vice-President, assumed the unexpired term of his brother and was later elected president by the Association’s Board of Directors.

He, along with Vice-President, Ott Sand; Secretary, Cliff Hartlage; Treasurer, Ed Butler; and the 18-member Board of Directors, continued their efforts to insure the future of athletics at Notre Dame.

In 1953, the Doyle family established the Richard T. Doyle Memorial Award. Paul presented the award annually until his death in 1984. in 1985, in recognition of paul’s contribution to Notre Dame, the name was changed, and the award became known as the Richard T. and Paul Doyle Memorial Award. The Richard T. and Paul Doyle Award is the most coveted award an athlete at Notre Dame can receive.
