Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Vince Tobin, who helped the franchise end a 50-plus year playoff victory drought, died Monday.

He was 79. A cause of death was not immediately known. Tobin led the Cardinals to a playoff berth in 1998 and a 20-7 upset victory over the Dallas Cowboys in the wild-card round.

It was the Cardinals' first postseason victory since 1947, when the franchise, then based in Chicago, defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 28-21 to win the NFL championship.

The Cardinals lost to the Minnesota Vikings 41-21 in the divisional round in the 1998 playoffs. Tobin was hired in 1996 to succeed Buddy Ryan as the team's head coach and went 28-43 in parts of five seasons.
