Dennis Green, former head coach of the Vikings and Cardinals, has died at the age of 67.

Green became head coach of the Vikings in 1992, instantly leading the team to a playoff berth. In 1998, he coached the team to one of the best offensive performances in league history. The team finished 15-1 and lost to the Falcons at home in overtime of the NFC championship game. Green and the Vikings returned to the NFC title game in 2000.

Much too young.

Bummer. He did put on a lot of weight since his Stanford days as a young tight ends coach. .

“He was exactly what we thought he was.”

And that 15-1 Vikings team was as good as any offense in NFL history. They scored at will.

Thanks for making my senior year at NU a memorable one, coach. RIP.

When I think of Dennis Green, two things come to mind. One, his 1998 Vikings team that missed the Super Bowl on a missed Gary Anderson field goal, the only FG attempt Anderson missed that season. And two, his rant after the Cardinals loss to the Bears. They are who we thought they are. If you wanna crown their asses, then crown 'em. RIP Coach Green.
