- Buddy Ryan, R.I.P. Almost certainly the greatest defensive coach in NFL history. It’s not just that the mid-80s Bears have a strong claim to be the best NFL defense ever, his Eagles teams were also among the greatest defenses ever. As a head coach, he was just another guy — not a complete disaster like LeBeau, but too much of a one-way coach to be really good. As a defensive coach, he was extraordinary.
- Pat Summitt, R.I.P. A truly remarkable trailblazer.
