I liked his approach to football. Didn't he assign some LBer type to go take out the kicker on kickoffs! Perhaps that puts me in a bad light but I really get a laugh out of that!

The best story I remember about him was that the Eagles had a game coming up against Miami and in a press conference Ryan said that the Dolphins were a bad team that couldn't play well and that the Eagles should beat them easily. Some journalist challenged him on that and said, "Coach, by you saying that about Miami, you've motivated the Dophins to play their guts out and beat you." Ryan responded, "Good, that's what I want. I want them to bring their best game so that way we can see how good we really are."

I get his point but I don't think it's in the best interests of any team to motivate their opponents against you.
