Oooh, I don't like hearing about the heart attack thing! I'm wondering, wasn't he one of the coaches that got seriously injured when Dallas' practice facility collapsed from that windstorm?

As much as I hated those Cowboys teams for obvious reasons, I always thought he seemed like a nice guy. RIP.

Yep. One of the few Cowboys icons who didn't elicit feelings of negativity.

 

(Sorry CowgirlsFan!)

 

RIP, Joe.

No, he wasn't retained when Parcells took over. As you know, Parcells doesn't allow his coaches to talk with the media and that just wouldn't work with Coach Joe. He loved to talk and he really loved football. He frequented the Cowboy's pre & post game shows after he left the NFL. Quite a character.

Who does not recall seeing him on the sidelines? He's a man I've never had any animosity towards. I have a feeling he's missed by many loyal Cowboys fans. RIP Mr. Avezzano. And thank you for contributing to the sport we are fanatics of/about.

Sorry to hear about Joe (Cowboy's HyperActive Special Teams Coach) Avezzano. Also former head coach of the Dallas Desperados.

 

I remember I ran a 5 mile run in the West End once and Coach Joe started the race with the traditional "ready, set, GO !!"

 

He seemed like nice guy even though he worked for a not very nice guy.
