Dennis Green, who coached the Minnesota Vikings and Arizona Cardinals over 13 NFL seasons, died Friday morning at the age of 67.

Family friend and former agent Ray Anderson confirmed the death to ESPN's Adam Schefter after speaking with Green's wife. Anderson said Green died after a cardiac arrest.

Green's Vikings made eight playoff appearances in 10 seasons, reaching the NFC Championship Game in 1998 and 2000. He led the Vikings to a 15-1 regular season in 1998.

Robert Smith, a Fox college football analyst and former Vikings running back, posted his grief over Green's death on Twitter.

Rest in peace Denny. I lost my mother in April, I feel like I just lost father.

Green's Cardinals tenure might be best remembered for his "They are who they thought they were" rant after Arizona blew a 20-0 halftime lead to the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football in 2006.

Sportswriter Larry Fitzgerald Sr., the father of Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald, told ESPN's Josina Anderson that he spoke with Green on Thursday.

"Denny was my guy," Fitzgerald said. "He gave me the opportunity to host and produce his radio show eight years ago."

Green also served as a head coach of Northwestern and Stanford at the collegiate level.

I'll remember Coach Green for his colorful post game news conference when the Cardinals lost that game against the Bears. I never seen a coach blow up like that and I watched Ditka for years! Also as the head coach of my favorite college team the Northwestern Wildcats. RIP Coach Green.
