Can you believe it has already been 30 years since Buddy Ryan coached his final game in Philadelphia Eagles green? His final was a Wild Card Game loss against NFC East-rival Washington Redskins on January 5th of 1991. For those of you that weren’t there, Ryan was one of the most interesting personalities the Eagles ever had as a head coach.
His brash and aggressive style fit in the “blue-collar” city of Philadelphia, where you had to earn the respect of the fans. Under Ryan, the Eagles fielded some of the best defensive units this organization has ever seen, featuring team legends like Reggie White, Jerome Brown, Seth Joyner, and Eric Allen.
