Nope, this was the Eagles defensive coordinator for the better part of 9 years (I think that long).

Wow, I knew he was undergoing intensive treatment but didn't think it was this bad. RIP, I loved how aggressive you kept your defense.

Brilliant defensive coach, I wanted the Saints to hire him as their head guy after Haslett was run out of town. RIP.

Sad day for football fans and, specifically, Eagles fans. Terrible news. RIP Jim you'll be missed.

Terribly sad news. I can't believe how hard he toughed it out last year in the playoffs. The guy loved to coach. RIP.

Pretty much knew this was coming the other day when they named his replacement. Great coach.
