Tipster19 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Oooh, I don't like hearing about the heart attack thing! I'm wondering, wasn't he one of the coaches that got seriously injured when Dallas' practice facility collapsed from that windstorm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweatpantsjoe Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 As much as I hated those Cowboys teams for obvious reasons, I always thought he seemed like a nice guy. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 As much as I hated those Cowboys teams for obvious reasons, I always thought he seemed like a nice guy. RIP. Yep. One of the few Cowboys icons who didn't elicit feelings of negativity. (Sorry CowgirlsFan!) RIP, Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Oooh, I don't like hearing about the heart attack thing! I'm wondering, wasn't he one of the coaches that got seriously injured when Dallas' practice facility collapsed from that windstorm? No, he wasn't retained when Parcells took over. As you know, Parcells doesn't allow his coaches to talk with the media and that just wouldn't work with Coach Joe. He loved to talk and he really loved football. He frequented the Cowboy's pre & post game shows after he left the NFL. Quite a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilsner Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Who does not recall seeing him on the sidelines? He's a man I've never had any animosity towards. I have a feeling he's missed by many loyal Cowboys fans. RIP Mr. Avezzano. And thank you for contributing to the sport we are fanatics of/about.

reddogblitz Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Sorry to hear about Joe (Cowboy's HyperActive Special Teams Coach) Avezzano. Also former head coach of the Dallas Desperados. I remember I ran a 5 mile run in the West End once and Coach Joe started the race with the traditional "ready, set, GO !!" He seemed like nice guy even though he worked for a not very nice guy.
