Former NFL Head Coach Buddy Ryan Dead

Retired NFL Coach Buddy Ryan has passed away.

FOX’s Jared Max has more:

Buddy Ryan coached in the NFL for 35 seasons. Seven years a “head” coach between the Philadelphia Eagles and Arizona Cardinals, Buddy Ryan became a national sports figure in the mid 1980’s as defensive coordinator for the Chicago Bears.

He introduced the “46” defense that helped the 1985 Bears post a 15-1 record and then a 46-10 blowout of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 20, a victory that ended with Ryan carried off the field on the shoulders of his defensive stars.

Buddy Ryan’s twin sons, Rex and Rob both coach the Buffalo Bills.
