Longtime Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Johnson lost a six-month battle with cancer Tuesday afternoon. He was 68.While Johnson gave the nod for Sean McDermott to replace him while he fought, it’s still a big loss.
Over 10 seasons, the Eagles won 5 NFC East titles. Below, from philly.com, was Johnson’s considerable coaching contribution.
From 2000-08, Johnson's units ranked 2nd in the NFL in sacks (390), 3rd down efficiency (34.0%) and red zone touchdown percentage (43.9%), and fourth in fewest points allowed (17.7 per game).
