Defensive Great Passes Away

Posted by Peter Grandich at 7:25 AM on Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

It’s fair to call me a “Philly-fan hater.” No group of sports fans come close to the poor behavior Philly fans are known for. However, they were blessed with one of the true, few great defensive minds in the NFL, Coach Jim Johnson. Coach Johnson passed away yesterday from cancer. As someone who has been privy to know what opposing teams, players and former players think about a team and an individual, I can tell you no defensive coordinator received more praise than Coach Johnson.

He will be missed.

    I couldn’t agree more PG. Philadelphia fans are the world’s worse bar none. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0j-RgKGZX8

    Having grown up a Phillies fan, I take pride in our reputation. In those days, we demanded 100% from our players, and weren’t afraid to let them know. I’m disgusted with professional sports in general today. I was a huge fan of the XFL, too bad they didn’t keep the league going.
