NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I chose my avatar and username after him. I became a Patriots fan after his 1-15 season in 1990. I came in on the ground floor. I chose him to remember how bad it was and to always appreciate where the Patriots are today.
 
RIP, Rod Rust, that 1 & 15 season is indelibly etched into the recesses of my brain..

He has the distinction of being the shortest tenured Pats Coach in their history..
 
Riposa in pace

Sad to hear also if he reached 90 years old...
 
RIP , RR.
We need a sad emoti.
 
RIP Rod Rust a true football lifer.
Helluva coordinator, not everyone is HC material but that roster sure didn't give him a lot to work with either.
 
RIP RR.

If we were playing alive or dead last week and RR's name came up I would have answered dead.
 
+1

People remember him for his disastrous year as a HC, but before that he was one of the best DCs in the league.

We he the coach that coined "dig in"?
 
Too bad Rocket Ismail went to the CFL. I wonder what he would have done in his prime with us.
