The Buddy Ryan Era in Philadelphia

In light of the sad news about the passing of Buddy Ryan, I thought this would be an appropriate time to re-post an article I wrote a few years ago about the Buddy Ryan era in Philly.

I’ve always had a special place in my heart for the Buddy Ryan years. It was a time of brutal, hard-hitting and historical defensive play as well as the unleashing of a Superstar in Randall Cunningham.

There’s never been a coach in Philly like him since. It was always entertaining having a coach who had a “bully” mentality.
