As a defensive coordinator, Buddy Ryan is among the greatest in the history of the NFL. He coached the 1985 Chicago Bears, who allowed just 198 points during the regular season and steamrolled through the postseason to an easy Super Bowl title.
That earned him a head coaching job with the Eagles, where he talked the talk but never found a way to walk the walk.
Sure, he had his successes against the Cowboys, and we all loved watching Ryan's defense, led by Reggie White. But he completely blew his opportunity to turn one of the most gifted athletes in history, Randall Cunningham, into a dominant quarterback. In fact, he completely ignored the offense, choosing to focus solely on the defense.
And that's what prevented the Eagles from ever turning into one of the top teams in the league. Following three consecutive Wild Card losses from 1988 to 1990, Ryan was fired.
