EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings will induct former head coach Dennis Green into their Ring of Honor this season.
The team announced Monday they’ll hold a halftime ceremony with Green’s family during their Sept. 23 game against Buffalo. Green, a former Hawkeye, died at age 67 in 2016.
His record over 10 seasons was 101-70, including eight trips to the playoffs. Only Bud Grant has more wins in franchise history. The Vikings won four division titles and reached the NFC championship game twice under his guidance, setting what was then the NFL single-season scoring record with 556 points in 1998.
