RIP Jim Johnson.....................You will be missed?

I read in an article this evening that Johnson had taken the new D-Coord under his wing and really taught him a lot. He also stated that he knows the system well and will respect what Jim did defensively because he knew what worked and what didn't, and the team will continue to build from there.

I cant believe he's gone either, he was truly a defensive mastermind. I just wish he could have been here for a superbowl win.

RIP Jim Johnson. You were one of those old-school coaches I always admired and respected. You won and you did it with a lot of class and dignity. Even though everyone knew you were going to bring a blitz on third and long, you were still one of the best people at disguising a blitz. When I think Eagles D, I'll always think Coach Johnson and Dawkins. I'll never forget last year's play-offs when you coached through cancer and pain. You didn't tell anybody because you didn't want to distract the team. You never complained, never made excuses. You remind me of another legendary coach, the late 49ers line coach Bobb McKittrick. A true champion. Rest in Peace Coach.

The Man was and i mean was the reason the Eagles had a good defense.... he and his management was a huge part of it and doing it with class no doubt

I am shock at the passing of Jim Johnson, he was one of the great defensive min this game has ever seen. His blitz package is the best i have ever seen in pro football. We football fans will miss him dearly. I have been working all day and your question shock me because i didn't know that he have pass away.............damn it a sad day.

Man i really hated to hear about him passing he made the Eagles a Great defensive unit as a Redskin fan i know how great he made that D in philly , i will have his family in my prayers.

Wow...I was coming back from New York, and on the way I saw ALOT of boards about Jim Johnson. I was like wtf? he died? and i checked it online when i came home. RIP Jim Johnson, greatest Eagles DC.

would have liked to see him get a ring with the Eagles , R.I.P Coach

no one can match his results. the defense is built around his scheme.

didn't hear about it.
