BuffAlone Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Wow..complained of chest pains, and still no evaluations? Or cause of death? Condolences to the family! RIP coach. For the record, I hated to see him on Miami's sideline. He was a tough, no nonsense guy and I feared the Fish were gonna overtake the division. Too young to die.....
atlbillsfan1975 Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 Good lord. Very young. Sad to hear. Feel for his friends and family. I am sure the ones he loved knew how he felt. Seemed like an emotional guy and a good guy. A guy you’d like to have a couple beers with and hear some stories.

ghostwriter Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 He was a good coach and I don't say that because he is dead, always thought very highly of him, this is such a sad situation to be in, my thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I think it takes a toll on health, it’s important to manage the stress and he may have been trying but wonder if that was a factor. I think these coaches should be in mandatory stress and health program. Most just grind themselves into the ground. They have limited the players practices maybe they should limit the time coaches spend in the office.

Certainly not disagreeing with you, but as a man of roughly the same age as TS, I hear more and more about the "widow maker" heart attack. Results from a major blockage in the left anterior descending artery. Low survival rate, signs that precede it but often overlooked as people assume other issues going on. I know several guys who died as a result of their blockage, a couple who lived after surgery with the knowledge "we got it just in time". In this case, it sounds as if there may have been opportunities missed to save him, which, if true, makes a tragic family situation that much more tragic. 1

North Buffalo Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 RIP, lost 2 high school classmates this year due to cancer at age 53/54. Have lost a number of them over the last few years due to cancer and heart attacks... sigh getting to that age.. where your mortality becomes more significant. Again RIP.

White Linen Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Oh wow Seemed like a great guy and I imagine players loved to play for him.
