RIP Coach. Great coach and I loved the way he handled himself with class. Was outmatched in the 3 SBs he appeared in. Loved his upset of Vikings in NBC Championship game.

 

The first FB game I ever watched beginning to end was the Ice Bowl, where he threw a TD Pass.

He participated in 9 out of the first 33 Super bowls as a coach or player.   There was an almost 30  year stretch, from 1971 - 1999,  where he was basically in 1 out of every 3 Super bowls.    I forgot that he brought the Falcons to the SB.    What a great career. 

 

Always seemed like a class guy.     An extension of the great Tom Landry.

Sad news indeed.

 

What an illustrious professional football career he had.

 

A career that many probably don't know about.

 

I remember him attempting to do the Dirty Bird dance after the Falcons won the NFC Championship.

 

RIP, Sir. You will be missed.
