Bad News: RIP Jim Johnson. A 22-year assistant in the NFL, including 10 seasons as defensive coordinator for the Eagles, died yesterday after a sixth-month battle with spinal cancer. He was 68. From 2000-08, his Eagles’ defense ranked second in the NFL with 390 sacks. In his 10-year tenure, the Eagles had 26 Pro Bowl selections on the defensive side of the ball.
When you endure tragedy, triumph isn’t far away IMO. For this reason alone, the Eagles’ will have a successful season.
