  Buddy Ryan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buddy Ryan (James David Ryan, born February 17, 1934) is a former American football coach.
Ryan immediately became a highly controversial and divisive figure in Philadelphia, releasing running back Earnest Jackson, who had rushed for more than 1,000 yards in both of the previous two seasons (including with the Eagles in 1985) during training camp in 1986.
Ryan was fired by the Eagles on January 7, 1991 after going 43-38-1 in five seasons, and became a commentator before returning to coaching, this time as the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals in 1994.

Ryan said he tried to discourage his sons from getting into coaching, but they were unwavering in their goals since their days as ball boys with the Bears and Jets.
