RIP Coach. Great coach and I loved the way he handled himself with class. Was outmatched in the 3 SBs he appeared in. Loved his upset of Vikings in NBC Championship game.

 

The first FB game I ever watched beginning to end was the Ice Bowl, where he threw a TD Pass.

[Reks Ryan]

He participated in 9 out of the first 33 Super bowls as a coach or player.   There was an almost 30  year stretch, from 1971 - 1999,  where he was basically in 1 out of every 3 Super bowls.    I forgot that he brought the Falcons to the SB.    What a great career. 

 

Always seemed like a class guy.     An extension of the great Tom Landry.

Wow ….  After watching the various reviews of 2021 it seemed like an unusually high number of famous people passed away. Perhaps it is my mistaken imagination, but Coach Reeves has started the list for 2022. May he R.I.P.

Thank you for your contribution to the game of football and the sacrifices you made as a Dallas Cowboys.

Classy guy. RIP

Sad news indeed.

 

What an illustrious professional football career he had.

 

A career that many probably don't know about.

 

I remember him attempting to do the Dirty Bird dance after the Falcons won the NFC Championship.

 

RIP, Sir. You will be missed.

RIP.   Have a feeling a lot of good men are a lot better off because they called him Coach.
