Former NFL football coach Dennis Green passed away on Friday, July 22, from complications after suffering cardiac arrest. He was 67.
Green was in the league since 1979 when he started out as the special teams coach with the San Francisco 49ers. In 1992, he became the head coach of The Minnesota Vikings where he remained until 2001. In 2004, he was named the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals where he uttered one of the most memorable lines before hitting the microphone and angrily walking out of the room after a loss to the Chicago Bears.
Upon hearing the news of his death, many of his former players, current athletes, media members and even politicians mourned his passing and sent along their condolences via Twitter.
