Dennis Green was head coach of the Minnesota Vikings
and Arizona Cardinals for a combined 13 seasons Green’s
Vikings made eight playoff appearances in 10 seasons
from 1992 to 2001, reaching the NFC Championship
Game in 1998 and 2000. He led the Vikings to a 15-1
regular season in 1998 and ranks second in franchise
history in games coached, wins and winning percentage,
trailing Hall of Fame coach Bud Grant in each category.
He died at age 67 of cardiac arrest complications.
As the Vikings head coach from 1992 to 2001, Green
led the team to the playoffs in eight of his 10 seasons
with the team. His best season in Minnesota was in 1998,
when the Vikings finished 15–1 and set the NFL record for
most points in a season at the time. However, the Vikings
would be upset by the Atlanta Falcons in that year’s NFC
Championship Game. Following his first losing record in
2001, he was fired just before the final game of the season.
Green was hired by the Cardinals to serve as the head
coach for the 2004 season, but was unable to match his
success in Minnesota, and his tenure was overshadowed
by a postgame tirade he made after the team lost a
20-point lead in the fourth quarter of a 2006 game against
the Chicago Bears.
