Met coach Tobin at a team event in Tucson back in 1999 (I think). He signed my helmet along with several players including Pat Tilman, Jake Plummer, etc..He was a nice man and he took our Cards to the playoffs (including a road win in big D). RIP Coach Tobin :(

Tobin and Jake probably got the stadium built with that playoff win over the boys. Man that was a magical season.

RIP Coach Tobin!
And of course Dave McGinnis (then on Tobin's staff) would go on to work so hard, off the field, to ensure passage of Proposition 302. RIP, Coach Tobin.

RIP Coach Tobin. You helped catch lightning in a bottle and inspire a whole generation of fans.
I will never forget running onto the field after the Chargers game. I could hardly believe Jacke made that kick. Absolute joy. I am not sure I was happier after NFC championship in 2008. I know it was more fun. People grabbing turf, the goalposts coming down.
