Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Vince Tobin passed away on Monday morning at his home in Arizona. He was 79 years old.
Tobin, who began his NFL coaching career by replacing Buddy Ryan as the Chicago Bears' defensive coordinator, was hired by the Cardinals in 1996 to again succeed Ryan.
After squeaking out victories in their final three regular season games to qualify for the playoffs, the Cardinals, on the backs of second-year quarterback Jake Plummer and an emerging defense, upset the Dallas Cowboys 20-7 in the wild-card round. Arizona would lose to the Minnesota Vikings a week later, but the win over the Cowboys remains an iconic moment.
