Green coached the Vikings for 10 seasons (1992-2001) and reached the playoffs eight times in Minnesota. Throughout his successful career in the NFL, his impact reached far beyond the gridiron.
Here is some of the Twitter reaction honoring Green's legacy:
Rest in peace Denny. I lost my mother in April, I feel like I just lost father.

Just got the news of the passing of Denny Green. He did so much for me. Was looking forward to saying thanks at HOF. Tomorrow not promised.
