He may be remembered by Millennials more for that quote, but the man could coach his ass off. Even Randy Moss had the utmost respect for him.

In 10 years with the Vikings he made the playoffs 8 times. That's a good solid run. He also produced 3 Head Coaches, Dungy, Tice and our own Brian Billick. I liked him. It's too bad they couldn't put it away in 98. Having your veteran kicker choke on a short one is brutal. If they had won that game they had a good shot to have beaten the Broncos in the Super Bowl.

What a shame. He was one of a kind. Great coach.
Re: OT-Denny Green Dies at 67
Green was a great college coach too and always had a good offense. When he was at Minnesota, they set offensive records and it seemed like they were in the playoffs every year. That offense was the springboard for Brian Billick getting the head coaching job with the Ravens.
RIP

Well, it was 38 yards. Not exactly a chip shot, but yes, indoors and very makeable. What was remarkable about that miss was that Gary Anderson had not missed a FG all SEASON.
I remember Billick's classic sideline quip in 2003 after Anderson, then with the Titans, secured the the wild card playoff win against the Ravens: "Now he makes it."

Two of those coaches went on to win titles.

R.I.P. Denny, you are who we thought you were which is to say a highly successful coach and a colorful personality.
