One Year ago, on this date, the Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator, Jim Johnson, passed away from melanoma at the age of 68. Last offseason was a tough one for the defense of the Eagles as the front office decided to not re-sign the hard and soul of defense, safety Brian Dawkins.
Later in the summer, during OTAs Johnson's health problems were noticable when he was riding in a motorized cart to coach the defense. Sean McDermott took over the defensive coordinator position and led the defense to 12th in total defense. In 2008, Johnson led the defense to third overall in total defense in the league.
