Buddy Ryan, the Eagles' head coach from 1986 to 1990, reportedly passed away Tuesday at 82.
Sad day continues: Former NFL head coach and defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan died Tuesday, according to his agent James Solano. He was 82.
A native of Frederick, Okla., Ryan's fiery ways made him arguably the most popular coach with fans in Eagles history.
Ryan compiled a 43-38-1 record in five seasons here. He guided the Eagles to the 1998 NFC East title and two other playoff berths, but his postseason record was 0-3. The Eagles fired him in 1991.
