Former Cardinals coach Dennis Green, whose time in Arizona was marked by his infamous “who we thought they were” speech and his part in collecting the key players for the 2008 Super Bowl team, died Friday morning of a heart attack.
Green was 67.
“All of us at the Cardinals are incredibly saddened by the news of Dennis Green’s passing,” Cardinals team president Michael Bidwill said in a statement. “Coach Green will rightly be remembered as a true innovator, leader and pioneer among football coaches. We express our deepest sympathy to his family and his many friends.
