Just gut wrenching news. Cancer needs to be stopped.
RIP Jim

I find it despicable that ESPN is leading with "Brett Favre Stays Retired" over the passing of Jim Johnson.
Prayers go out to his family.

I get that but it's the same with most of the big sports websites. They seem to think the Brett Favre story is a bigger draw. Unfortunately, they're probably right.

As an Eagles fan, this hit me harder than a truck would hit a jay-walker.

Yes, sorta made a joke, but there is nothing funny about it

RIP Jim Johnson, one of the greatest football minds of all-time. 1943-2009

Rip Jj, Phily's Defence Will Miss Him.

wow sad new to football, a great person, very wise and smart. He will be missed. Turned the Eagles D into one of the most fierce D's in the league. RIP J.J

Didn't see it coming so soon. Another sad day for the NFL. McNair and Jim Johnson in the same month.

Sadly, I'm not surprised.

Its hard to believe that the news of a washed up/ over the hill 40 year old, deciding not to play this season, gets much more coverage than the news of a footballing genius, Jim Johnson dying.

Worst thing is, the majority of people who watch football, could'nt care less about Favre at this stage. Yet the networks keep pushing a story that ran its course last season.

If only it were Jimmy Johnson

[PhinPhan910]

Poor guy, he was a wonderful coach of the eagles and also a good coach for the fins and one of the best defensive minds ever in the nfl.
Rip Jimmy Johnson.

[Ricky_Fan34]

For my 500th post, I will honor Jim Johnson. Jim, this one is for you! RIP

rip Jim Johnson, really enjoyed watching his defenses play over the course of his tenure in Philly. He was truly one of the brightest football minds i've ever seen.
