Passed today age 95. One of the very best to ever roam the sideline, all time. His Vikings teams are legend. Makes me sad to see what we're losing.

Yep, RIP.

Couldn't WIN the big one but had great team after great team and did get to 4 super bowls. He embraced the frigid cold games and exuded toughness. Really good guy by all accounts as well.
