Rex is Buffalo’s head coach while Rob is assistant head coach and defensive consultant. James David (Buddy) Ryan was head coach of two NFL teams, the Philadelphia Eagles (1986-90) and Arizona Cardinals (1994-95). Rex, an NFL head coach since 2009, and brother Rob have traced the three-lane path blazed by their father. Perhaps even more than his opponents — as well as even some of his own team’s offensive coaches and players — loathed him. Bill Parcells once disparagingly referred to Buddy ball as “Neanderthal football.”But so what if he was a mediocre head coach?
