Minnesota Vikings offensive line coach Tony Sparano passed away unexpectedly Sunday morning, according to a team release.
Man he died way to young. I'm sure the cause of death will be out soon.
The Dolphins are the softest team in the NFL. Tua hater starting 12/11/22.
Vertical Limitforum_veteranWow, rest in peace coach. Didnt work out well here but he was a classy man with good values.
Fin-Oforum_veteranWow.
Prayers to his family. Way too young.
"The reason so many people misunderstand so many issues is not that these issues are so complex, but that the people do not want a factual or analytical explanation that leaves them emotionally unsatisfied"
May he Rest In Peace.
Dol-Fan Dupreeforum_veteranThat is too bad. RIP

I want to be alive, I am alive! Alive, I tell you! Mother, I love you, those are no longer just words. I want to hold you, I want to run in a stream, I want to taste ice cream but not just put it in my mouth and let it slide down my throat but really eat it. - Robot Morty
gilv13forum_veteranRIP, I never thought he was a bad head coach, he just made the mistake of surrounding himself with bad coordinators.
Crazy to think he is the last coach not named Bill Belichick to win the AFC East.

He didn't get to hire his coordinators

RGFsubscriberToo sad. RIP coach. He had much passion regardless of his head coaching ability.
KeyFinforum_veteranFrom what I read, he went to the hospital on Thursday complaining of chest pains, they checked him out and eventually released him. Then he got up this morning and was getting ready for church, everything seemed fine, and then he was found unresponsive a few minutes later. My guess is that he had a massive heart attack and went almost instantly...which is definitely the way to go.
I'll pray for his family; he seemed like a great guy and I know the players fought for him to stay. Very sad news.
Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.
Puka-headsubscriberHis heart may have stopped pumping but now he's fist pumping Eternity. Thanks for the memories coach.

Wildcat game was my favorite Dolphins game ever.
AMEN to that....it was an awesome game and the Pats had no idea what the heck was going on. Despite our record under him, he created an NFL trend and that's pretty darn cool.

moosegutsforum_veteranThe most accomplished coach we've had in the last 15 years. Gave us vengeance on the 1-15 season by winning the east, winning @ Jets @ Bills and @ Pats beat down. The first time we won all our road games against division foe's since 1984. RIP Tony.

Redwine4allforum_veteranRIP.
Vinny Finsforum_veteranRIP coach, the enduring memory of you will be how much you cared and how much pride you talk in being head coach of this team. You were always personable to the fans and always cared about your players. You made this organization, this game, and this planet better for having a person of your character.
You gave me my first GREAT memory of being a Dolphins fan that felt like my generations own and for that I will always remember you.
May your family find the strength and love they need, may your soul be at peace, and may you first pump for all eternity.

adamprez2003forum_veteranVery sad news. Seemed like a great coach to play for. Got screwed by Ireland and his inability to bring enough talent to compete

Makes you wonder how in this day and age they could miss something like that? Such a shame.
