Dennis-Green

The NFL lost a legend on Friday with the passing of former Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green, who died of cardiac arrest at age 67.

Green was one of the more well-liked figures in football. While most will remember him for bringing us one of the most incredible rants of all time, he was also a heck of a coach. In 10 seasons with the Vikings, he compiled a 97-62 record and reached the playoffs eight times.

But boy was that rant a good one.

If for some reason you haven’t seen Green’s infamous “the Bears are who we thought they were” meltdown, now is a good time to check it out. Here’s the video:

Rest in peace, Denny.
