Minnesota Vikings offensive line coach Tony Sparano has passed away

One of the biggest coaching moves the Minnesota Vikings made before the 2016 NFL season was adding established offensive mind Tony Sparano to help fix the problems the team has on the offensive line.

Sparano has enjoyed decades of coaching experience throughout his career, starting as n offensive line coach for New Haven in 1984 and working his way up to being the head coach of the Miami Dolphins in 2008.

Minnesota found some success on their offensive line thanks to Sparano and an influx of talent, but some devastating news is shaking the foundation of the team.
