Nooooooo fukk.
Man one of the realest black coaches ever and who doesn't get any props.
They talk about Dungy coaching tree when really it is the Denny green coaching tree.
Denny always kept it real when it came to black coaches and the media hated him for that shyt. Dude was one of the first kats to go to northwestern and turn that team around. He was a pioneer because he also was one of the first black head coaches in college ball to coach at a white university.
Not to mention he coached at Stanford and at that time it was big for a black coach to get that job.
He is the only black coach who has ever been given full control as coach and GM. I always respected him as a man because he made sure that his QBs no matter the color had talent around them (he signed, drafted and traded for black QBs also).....no black QB under him during his time in Minnesota didn't have WRs and a running game. Which you can't say even today for black QBs with many of these teams.

Forgot about him as coordinator
good looking out
that vikings team vs those Broncos woulda beenRIP
To the author of one of the GOAT moments in sports history. If only that 1998 Vikings team with Randall, Rookie Randy Moss & CC would have capped off that 15-1 year with a Superbowl win
Rest in Peace.
This just might be the greatest rant in sports history by a coach.
That "thanks coach" at the end was golden.
Damn....
Very sad. 67 certainly ain't no spring chicken but you figure the stresses of being an NFL coach aged the man significantly.
RIP.
RIP.
