I woke up from a nap a few minutes ago and saw this. Very sad. He was a hard worker for sure and family man. RIP

Tony Goomba!!! My fellow Italian!!! May you rest in Peace!!! Thanks for the memories of the 2008 11-5 season, that was fun to watch. Fist Pump to you Tony.

Rest in peace Coach, you did not do as horrible a job as some here thought, you just were too satisfied with Mediocrity, instead of expecting far more from your offense.

Damn. What happened? I couldn't get the website to load.

When I heard this it made me physically sick. Even though he didn't have a lot of success in Miami it wasn't because he was't trying. The guy worked his ass off and his players played physical football for him. I will always remember the big fist pumps. I had a lot of laughs watching him do that. Totally sucks that anyone has to die that young. RIP Tony and thank you for giving your all in Miami.

Sounds like a heart related issue.

The one coach Omar liked

And I'll never forgive that jackass Jeff Ireland for the backstabbing crap he pulled on Tony. Total BS

Hopefully the family files a lawsuit. Unacceptable to think they'd let him go and this happens.

RIP Tony, it was a ride we all enjoyed in 2008.

A very likeable dude in my opinion... R.I.P Tony

Man what a shock, regardless of what we thought of him as a coach he definitely seemed like a good guy and it is a sad day for sure.

2008 was a rare bright spot in many seasons of mediocrity and flat out losing. Thanks for helping to craft it coach. RIP
