Anyone that is butt hurt about the score being ran up is what is wrong with America. Welcome to real life, it comes full circle.

Buddy Ryan's comments to the media were constant hyperbole of football jargon similar to Trumps political boasting. Body bags? Bounties? He makes Greg Williams look like a Sunday School Teacher. Agreed, he wouldn't fly well in today's game at all. He'd be ridiculed, black-balled and silenced forever.The media would crucify him for every word he uttered. If Buddy Ryan were a coach today, he'd be painted as child molestor, abusive boss, xenophobe, racist and the cause of CTE. He'd be banned from the game. Wiped off the earth. .

All true. I miss him already.

I loved Buddy Ryan....and when he laid waste to the OC for running the chuck and duck and giving up points it was wonderful.

People today are so emotional and mentally weak.....everything today is based on how a person feels as opposed to results, logic and data. The meek need to be weeded out as opposed to being in control.

In the article that Duckwalk posted, Tom Landry reacted to the kneel down fake and throw for a touchdown by stating, "no comment". A virtue that was criticized even in that era. To me, this is part of what is different than 30-40 years ago. TL was dignified and was careful to not publically show his emotion.Translation, yes it was a little cheap, but I know how to take my medicine. I'll get even later. This was just another day at the office. Today, Belichick, Andy Ried and a few others might react the same way. More than a majority of NFL coaches would over react. Now drug use, women abuse, child abuse, deflating balls, illegal signal stealing, hitting too hard...etc all seem to have penalties of wierd and upside down consequences.

I liked Buddy Ryan, but I prefer the coach that went about his business as a leader above the fray of public boasting. I prefer high school football over all forms of football. A coach can still emulate the purest of the sports ideals without too much influence. A coach at the high school level can essentially make the program in his own image without distractions. Though the coaches at this level are not immune to making mistakes, a majority of them are good role models. I can think of many. I can't say this about most NFL coaches.

Buddy Ryan was just .500 overall as a head coach so not to sure "his way" worked out in terms of success.

 

[Chief Justice]

Agreed. Head Coaches have to be the adults.

I miss personalities in pro sports. Buddy was certainly a personality. And a pretty darned good coach. He'll be missed by many, that's for sure.

To judge Buddy Ryan's success as a coach solely on his head coaching record would be a big mistake.

Buddy is proof that you can be a good assistant but an average head coach at best. His personality and conflict with other coaches made for good publicity and probable made him more of a household name then any of his coaching accomplishments.​

I think the 85 Bears and the 46 defense are kind of significant. There was a reason he was carried off on some players shoulders after that super bowl.

But with out those players or Ditka he was never able to duplicate that kind success again? Not saying he was not a contributor, just saying is contributions might not be as great as others.

The guy who complains about low scoring football.........

Both of you are correct. I'd add that Dick LeBeau had a similar career Buddy Ryan. His defenses were equally as diabolical as Ryans scheme was in his day. The 85 Bears defensive success was lightning in a bottle for a magical season in Chicago. When he left Chicago they were not the same. But we should agree that the 85 Bears could play some offense too.

The guy with reading comprehension issues.... The topic of the thread wasn't his X's and O's. I don't miss those. I miss the tell it like it is politically incorrect approach and the shove it up Landry's @#$ attitude.

Tough guy Ditka didn't win much without Ryan.

Good point.
