Former Cardinals head coach Vince Tobin died Monday at his home in Goodyear, Ariz., at the age of 79, according to an announcement from the team.
Tobin, who coached the Cardinals from 1996-2000, helped the organization win its first playoff game in 51 years during the 1998 season.
Arizona rallied behind second-year quarterback Jake Plummer and a quality defense as the Cardinals took down the Cowboys in the first round of the ‘98 playoffs. Though their run ended at the hands of the Vikings the following week, it marked the first time they’d won a playoff game since 1947.
