Harrisburg, Pennsylvania names street after Dennis Green

Dennis Green will live forever in the history of the Minnesota Vikings as a successful head coach, and now he has forever been immortalized in the town that he grew up in.

On Saturday, part of a street in Green’s hometown of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania was renamed Dennis Green Way.

Green was named the head coach of the Vikings in 1992, becoming just the second African-American head coach in NFL history. He coached the Vikings until 2001, and to this day has more coaching victories for the franchise than anyone not named Bud Grant.
