Gunther Cunningham obviously made a huge mark on the coaching landscape in the NFL. With a coaching career that nearly spanned 50 years, it’s clear he was a valued mind in the game of football.
But it’s clear his value went well beyond the football field. After it was announced on Monday that Cunningham has passed, there was an outpouring of great stories from people that Cunningham had personally touched during his coaching tenure, specifically during his seven years in Detroit.
So I thought it was important to share some of the memories those around Detroit had of Cunningham.
