Talk:Dennis Green

NPOV
The clearly satirical statement about Green's ownership off the team in "No Room for crybabies." was taken out of context. I will delete this, and let it be known that I dispute the pages neutrality as a whole. 66.188.208.180!

Expanded college days
I was able to find the BCA statistic that confirms he was the 2nd African American DI-A coach ever. I also noted the three times his early career intertwined with that of Bill Walsh. --Bobak 19:31, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup
I put on the cleanup tag for this article. It is poorly formatted, and the organization of the article is at best described as rambling, more on the side of incoherent. This article could also use a nice expansion. 68.117.214.173 02:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Head Coaching Records
Why were the records deleted? The coaching box which replaced them is only a summary of the years. All the data was taken from the various media guides referenced. Is there a standard template for coaches where year by year records are not required? Group29 21:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Year by year records are pointless, since the information is easily in the two official links. They kinda clutter the page, and its usually customary to only include an overall W-L-T record in the infobox. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  22:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * ShadowJester, I respectfully disagree with you. They are not pointless since you can obviously deduce which are the good years and bad years. They are not that easily obtained, since they are not all together at a glance. You have to open the Northwestern PDF, then the Stanford PDF, and so forth. (Translation: It took me a while to assemble the Wikitables from those links. Note that those links will be dead when the schools put together their new media guides in the fall of 2007. ) I agree it is customary to have a single win/loss total in the infobox and also the years coached, since that is the way it is currently constructed. Thanks for adding the infobox to the article. But, one person's clutter is another person's useful statistics. There is power in the numbers. I am all for less clutter if you can suggest out a way to do it without a large, nonobjective, undiscussed cut like that. You also cut the tables from the discussion. One of the points of Etiquette is: Try to avoid deleting things as a matter of principle. Thanks, Group29 22:53, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Very Well, but perhaps you can add more "substance" to the tables ;-) --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  00:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I re-added the tables. I created them as collapsible, but did not put the headers in team colors. Note that a random selection of coaches shows varying types of ways to show the head coaching records: The collapsible setting was put there to address the clutter concern from the discussion. However it appears that no consensus has been reached about coach entries. This is the only coach article I have found so far with collapsed coaching record tables. Group29 19:35, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Pete Carroll has separated college and pro, and the college table is color coded with more detail
 * Bill Walsh (football coach) has no coaching record tables
 * Brian Billick has a single table with more detail, links and conference finishes
 * Dick Vermeil does not have his college coaching records showing

It would appear that now a template exists (CFB Yearly Record Start) to handle coaching records. These tables should be converted. Dick Vermeil now has his college record present. Group29 16:41, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Converted the NU and Stanford boxes. Group29 (talk) 15:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

THE ARTICLE CLAIMS THAT GREEN WAS THE FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN HEAD COACH TO TAKE A TEAM ONE GAME SHY OF THE SUPER BOWL. THAT DISTINCTION BELONGS TO ART SHELL, WHO LED THE RAIDERS TO THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AGAINST THE BILLS IN 1990. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.172.144.35 (talk) 21:33, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * This sentence has been removed because of inaccuracy -- thanks for the heads up. J. Matthew Bailey (talk) 09:42, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Repeat vandalism
After reverting a change ("color analyst" to "colored analyst") by 136.165.10.94 that appeared to be vandalism but could have been a misunderstanding, it was changed back. Looking at this user's contributions only further supports the claim of vandalism. I will change it back, and 136.165.10.94, if you're sincere, please discuss here why you think your term is correct before making changes.Ocvailes (talk) 18:28, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Book title
Someone put in a joke book title: "No Room For Crybabies, But There's Always Room for Jello". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.231.6.66 (talk) 20:51, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out. It's been fixed. In the future, feel free to make the corrections yourself. --Onorem♠Dil 20:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Timeline of when he coached for Dayton?
The article initially stated on the top right that he started coaching for Dayton in '65, which is wrong in multiple ways and I have fixed that and changed it to '71. However, where was he from '72-'73? Can anyone confirm he was still at Dayton during these years? If so, please feel free to change it.

Date of death
Numerous outlets are reporting he died Thursday July 21, 2016. I've changed the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.164.177.1 (talk) 17:22, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The current source says "early Friday morning". If other sources are reporting differently, please add them. clpo13(talk) 17:29, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
