Joe Avezzano has died at the age of 68. He was in Italy coaching the football team in Milan. All true Cowboys fans will remember him as Coach Joe -- the special teams coach for the Dallas Cowboys during their last three Super Bowl wins. He coached from 1990 through 2002 for the Cowboys, and was known for his passionate fiery attitude on the field and gentle likability off the field. He was loved and respected by both players, other staff, and fans. He will be missed and long-remembered. Here is what Jerry Jones said about Coach Joe:
“Joe Avezzano was a very special part of our Dallas Cowboys family and our organization’s history. He was also a wonderful father, husband and friend. No one enjoyed life more than Joe, and no one that I know had a greater appreciation for the people that he loved and the lives that he touched.
"We grieve with Diann and Tony and the thousands of fans who loved Coach Joe. He was an original. There was no one else like him.”
I have to agree. Coach Joe was one of a kind -- and will be fondly remembered by all true Cowboys fans.
oh no......I didn't know that..how sad...
