Jim Johnson frustrated opponents and confused young quarterbacks with his complex defensive schemes, always looking for a new way to disguise a blitz.

He never ran out of ideas or the desire to coach, even when he had more pressing concerns. In his final days, he was concerned about the start of training camp.

Johnson, whose attacking defenses helped the Philadelphia Eagles to one Super Bowl appearance and five NFC title games, died on Tuesday. He was 68


Thoughts and prayers are with Jim's family.

R.I.P Jim.

I was actually going to start a thread as well..
As an Eagles fan..I loved the guy to death.. His gameplans, if he gets them spot on are a thing of beauty to watch.
Such a class act and is loved by all Eagles fan (more than Andy thats for sure)

Thoughts and prayers are with the Family

R.I.P
