Legendärer NFL Coach Buddy Ryan im Alter von 82 Jahren verstorben Der legendäre Coach und Schaffer, der wohl legendärsten NFL Defense, die 1985er Chicago Bears Defense, verstarb im Alter von 82 Jahren. Dies verkündete sein Agent James Solano. Ryan, der Vater des Buffalo Bills Headcoach Rex Ryan und des Bills Assistant Coach Rob Ryan, konnte auf eine 35 Jahre dauernde NFL Karriere zurückblicken, in der er als Defensive Coordinator für die Bears, als Headcoach für die Philadelphia Eagles und Arizona Cardinals im Einsatz war. Ryan konnte zwei Super Bowl Ringe im Laufe seiner Karriere gewinnen (III, XX). Man wird Ryan als Innovator in Erinnerung behalten, seine neuen Defense Schemen sind bis heute im Einsatz und haben die Art wie Football in der Defensive gespielt wird für immer verändert. On behalf of the entire Ryan family, we want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their sympathies, prayers and warm thoughts with the passing of my dad. He was many things to many people–outstanding coach, mentor, fierce competitor, father figure, faithful friend and the list goes on. But to me and my brothers Rob and Jim, he was so much more. He was everything you want in a dad–tough when he had to be, compassionate when you didn’t necessarily expect it, and a loving teacher and confidant who cherished his family. He truly was our hero. For Rob and me, we’ve had the great fortune of sharing the coaching profession that he was so proud of and cherished so much. There is no way we can possibly begin to measure how much football we have learned from him over the years and we are forever thankful to him for instilling within us his unwavering love for the game of football. While today is a tough day for all of us in the Ryan family, we are consoled in knowing how much dad was loved by so many and the love he gave back in return. Though we will miss him dearly, we take comfort in knowing that his memory will live on through all of us. – Statement Rex Ryan.

Dan Hampton - Biography
Dan Hampton - Biography Dan Hampton also known as "Danimal" was born September 19, 1957 and is a retired Hall of Fame American football defensive tackle who played twelve seasons for the Chicago Bears from 1979 to 1990 in the National Football League. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2002. Previously hosted pre- and post-game shows for the Bears on WGN Radio in Chicago. College Career Hampton played college football at Arkansas and was drafted in the first round of the 1979 NFL Draft by the Bears. He was part of a Razorback team that thumped the highly favored Oklahoma Sooners in the 1978 Orange Bowl by a score of 31-6. Several key Razorback players had been suspended for the game by Arkansas Head Coach Lou Holtz which left the team short-handed. The fired up Razorbacks charged from the locker room in a fashion that the media noticed. When asked why the team came out of the locker room in such a hurry the wry Hampton answered, "Coach Holtz said the last eleven out of the locker room will start". As a senior Hampton was an All-American as he logged 98 tackles (18 behind the line of scrimmage). He was also named the Southwest Conference Defensive Player of the Year in 1978. In addition, that same season, Hampton was named by the Houston Post the SWC Player of the Year.[2] As a junior he had 70 tackles (8 for a loss). In 1976, as a sophomore, Hampton made 48 tackles (2 for losses) and recovered two fumbles.

THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 2 (2006) WHEN HAVING A BETTER RECORD DIDN'T MEAN HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE, Part Two By Andy Piascik With the NFL-AFL merger in 1966 and the advent of the Super Bowl, pro football's postseason began to grow larger. Neither the NFL or AFL addressed the long-standing problem of how better to determine the home team in their respective Championship Games, however. In fact, almost another decade would go by until necessary changes were made. Instead, both leagues continued with the rotation system that had ruled pro football's postseason since 1933. And as happened so many times previously, the teams that finished with the best regular season record in both leagues in 1966, the Packers and the Chiefs, had to go on the road in the title games. Bucking the odds clearly established over the previous 33 years, both won. Even when the NFL realigned in 1967 and enlarged the playoffs, the same system was left intact. Again, evidence that something was amiss was immediately apparent. That year, the Rams finished 11-1-2 and won the Coastal Division of the Western Conference on the basis of a head to head tie-breaker over the Colts, who also finished 11-1-2. In the West's Central Division, meanwhile, the Packers finished first at 9-4-1. Despite their superior record and even though they had beaten Green Bay in their regular season meeting, the Rams had to travel to Wisconsin to play the Western Conference Championship Game. After beating the Packers two weeks earlier in Los Angeles, the Rams lost and went home while the Packers went on to win the Super Bowl.

It may have been their showmanship in full view of a crowd, or their unflinching toughness that pushed them through injuries no one knew about, or even their innate sense of humor that gave them license to pull off tension-easing pranks on team- mates. Whatever the reasons, they are revered as pro football’s ultimate “character men,” those players blessed with exceptional talent and larger-than-life personalities that transcended the game.

Mike Singletary Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 1998
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 20, No. 4 (1998) Mike Singletary Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 1998 By Joe Horrigan Following his outstanding football career at Baylor University, many predicted Mike Singletary would be a first-round choice in the 1981 National Football League draft. After all, the two-time All-America choice averaged 15 tackles a game, and in 1978 established a team record with 232 tackles. He was also the only junior selected to the All-Southwest Conference Team of the 1970s. Nonetheless, at the end of round one, Singletary was still undrafted. “I remember saying ‘Lord, if I can play with anybody, let it be the Chicago Bears,’” Singletary recalled. A few moments later his prayer was answered. After swapping second-round picks with the San Francisco 49ers, the Bears moved up two spots in the draft and selected Singletary with their pick. For Singletary, a lifelong fan of the Bears and Hall of Fame linebacker Dick Butkus, it was a dream come true. Born the tenth and last child of a Pentecostal pastor, Mike grew up in an atmosphere of strict devotion. “My father was stern,” he once told a reporter. “We sometimes spent 12 hours in church on Sundays.” Neither Mike nor any of his brothers and sisters were allowed to participate in sports. His father felt it was against the tenets of his faith. Finally, when Mike was 12 years old, his parents had a change of heart and the youngest Singletary joined his junior high school team at the only position he ever wanted to play - linebacker.
