Good coach. Like many Bears coaches before and since, never had a complete roster.

He always seemed like a good guy. That 2001 defense with the 700 lbs of ass up front and Brown and Urlacher was so much fun!

I was there when Keith Traylor took that INT back 60+ yards against the Jaguars. A great memory I’ll always have

He was the nicest damn person. Really sad news.

That 2001 season was magical. Mike Brown with the back to back walk off INTs, that absolutely insane comeback game against the Browns I want to say it was....the rise of the Urlacher era. Good memories
