Sad news indeed.

What a great run, and a true character. NFL coach wearing a Stetson, pretty damn cool. RIP

RIP to one of the greatest players' coaches ever

Feel bad for Wade, great guy, great coach, just doesn't have it as a head coach but one of the best defensive coordinators in the league. RIP

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Very sad. I was always a fan of his. Great coach.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

I don't know a thing about him but have read online sort articles & he seemed to be a wonderful fun guy.

Unique I believe one writer said.

That's a good way to be remembered.

Sad news indeed.

I know he wasn't directly part of the Cowboys family, but his son Wade was whether you dislike him or not. That makes Bum part of our family if you ask me, and he was great for the NFL.

Sad day and I wish Wade the best. I think we can all respect this quote from Bum.

“When I die, they should put on my tombstone: ‘He would have lived a whole lot longer if it wasn’t for the Pittsburgh Steelers.’ ”

I never see it in print, but I would swear that when I was a kid, he was HC at French HS (no longer around). God Bless you Coach and your family...
