I was very fond of Gunther. He was in over his head as a HC, but he was a GREAT DC. And a fun guy to watch. He was a no BS guy, you knew exactly what he was thinking at all times.

If force of will could have returned the modern NFL to the classic NFL, Gunther's would have done it. But the modern NFL has greater forces behind it.

I loved it when he flipped the bird to one of the officials. Can somebody please post that gif of him? That was a classical moment in this organization.

I don't think it can be overstated how much Derrick Thomas' death affected Gunther personally. I think that's why he failed as a HC, it took him a long while to get over that.

Other than Pete Carroll he was probably the best understudy under George Seifert who talked him into being a coach at Oregon while Carroll learned under George in SF. That’s where he got the 97-98 falcon D. Was just a 4-3 under with the Leo spot which was called the elephant originally with Charles Haley in SF and Dallas. Since he never ran any 3-4 his 4-3under years with DT where always the best choice to maximize his talents

Damn....younger than me...
I had the pleasure of talking to Gun on several occasions - believe it or not, at the Price Chopper That guy would stand and shoot the shit with the fans as long as they wanted to. He was, in all honesty, a fine gentleman and a people person. Coach - you WILL be missed.
