"Football meant so much to Jim Stanley and he meant so much to all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him," Cardinals owner Bill Bidwill said. "Even in the last year or so that I know had been difficult for him, he was still able to follow the sport closely and I know was very excited earlier this month when Oklahoma State was here for the Fiesta Bowl. All of us at the Cardinals and throughout the football community send our condolences to the entire Stanley family." Stanley also served as a D-line coach with the Giants, Falcons and Oilers. He was the Buccaneers' defensive coordinator in 1986. Source: Pro Football Weekly
