"You marked it good, you marked it good. You're doing a helluva job." RIP Hank, you were one-of-a-kind.

The only decent coach in Saints' history. They never gave him a chance and have suffered ever since. VERY sad to hear this news.

He was one of the major reason that the AFL was able to challenge the NFL. His offensive schemes changed the game.

Dang. I hate it when someone I haven't thought about in several years passes away.

I guess there's no avoiding it, but I'm sure sorry to hear about it. He was a great one.

"Matriculate the ball down the field"

He was fun to listen to, even if I didn't know what he was talking about. Rest easy Hank, you're one of the people that made football fun to watch.

RIP. I enjoyed listening to him when he was a radio announcer on the monday night football radio play-by-play. And he was miked up for Super Bowl IV. I think he may have been to first coached who did that is a super bowl.

Apparently New Orleans did have one NFL champion within city limits.

Wow. Surprised he was that old.

Hell, I'm surprised I'm THIS old!

However, R.I.P., he was a good 'un.
