The NFL community came together Sunday to mourn the loss of Minnesota Vikings offensive line coach Tony Sparano, who died unexpectedly at the age of 56.

Sparano spent time with several teams over his 19-year NFL coaching career, but was known mostly for his four-year stint as head coach of the Miami Dolphins from 2008-11, and a 12-game tenure as interim head coach of the Oakland Raiders in 2014.
