‘Recently the Sporting News, in a feature article, called him "the best coach in the NFL." Green not only has an eye for talent, he isn’t afraid to take a chance on players other teams are reluctant to touch. Most teams, including Miami, which was coached by Jimmy Johnson at the time, thought Randy Moss was too hot to handle when he came out of Marshall. Green plucked him with the 21st overall pick and came out with the most dangerous receiver in football. Culpepper was the other extreme. When he came out of Central Florida with immense physical talents, there was a reluctance by some teams who thought he was too shy, too nice a kid to lead an NFL team, at least not without two or three years experience. "Denny knew he would be all right because he was playing with the best pair of receivers in the league and Bobby Smith, who is a great running back," Tasker points out. Culpepper has been more than all right. currently he’s fourth in the NFL in passing, the Vikings are averaging 381 yards in offense and, most important, there is that 6-0 record. Denny Green knows what he’s doing.’
