I remember back in 1999 being a little bit dismayed that we’d hired a guy with the same name as Jimmy Johnson. It didn’t take long for me to change my mind about our Jim Johnson. From Hugh to Dawk to Lito and Trot, Jim kept them flying at the quarterback from the moment he got here. I love reading about how he found his spiritual home in Philadelphia–it’s hard to imagine another city giving as much love to a coordinator as we gave to Jim and he gave to us.
Thanks for the memories Jim, and here’s hoping your legacy will live on for seasons to come–in a nonstop flurry of whirlwind blitzes!
We had a couple of requests for a tribute t-shirt, and this idea we thought was particularly awesome. They’re available starting today, and we will be donating a portion of the proceeds to charity.
Keep the Blitz Alive!
