Legendary Cowboy Special Teams Coach Joe Avezzano Dies

[bbdude]

Heard the news yesterday and cannot believe he is gone. Joe was coaching in the Italian football league and suffered a massive heart attack. I will always remember him as the fiery guy on the Dallas Cowboys sidelines from 1990-2002 who was the king of special teams coaches. His contributions to the Dallas Championships in the 90's will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Mr. Avezzano.

You couldn't NOT notice Avezzano on the sidelines if you were a Cowboy fan. I like the story Bill Bates told about the gash in his head and how he received it. Bill Bates: Coach Joe made guys want to play for him - Dallas Cowboys Blog - ESPN Dallas
