Very sad. I always thought he was a class act and a great football mind. In a way it's sad that's best best known now for his 'they are who we thought they were' rant, but it absolutely showed his fire and passion for the game.

In Minnesota Denny Green opened the NFL up to a dual-threat QB the way he used Randall Cunningham and was the predecessor to the high-octane passing we see today with that 15-1 team that broke all those records in 1998. And though his Cardinals teams didn't have a lot of success, he laid the frame for their resurgence and Super Bowl run.
