KANSAS, MO (TS) -- Darvin Wallis, the second-longest tenured assistant coach in Chiefs history, has died at age 60.Sigh...
In the unending Too Soon bounty that is football-related death, the ONLY thing going for this guy is that it's the most recent.
I mean, we can't expect anyone to top Steve McNair. Pro Bowl QB iced by a jealous girlfriend? Followed by paternity suits and drug accusations? That's GOLD Jerry, GOLD! That was easily the second best NFL death of all time... the first being the death of Packers GM Ted Thompson's dreams of winning another Superbowl the day he traded Brett Favre.
Alas, we get stuck with this Donny... Darwin... Darvin... yeah Darvin Whatshisname dude, a guy who:
1 - Was a defensive assistant coach (read: not even good enough to be head coach)
and
2 - Was a defensive assistant coach with the Kansas City Chiefs (read: not even good enough to be employed by a professional football team)
Sigh...
Love,
Chris Real
Oh yeah, the picture... I know it has nothing to do with The Chiefs, or coaching, or even football, but it IS a sign on a back road in Missouri... you can also see this same sign on any interstate leading into Missouri... but this one was just more... folksy, and I love being folksy.
