“Mike Ditka, Legendary Chicago Bears Coach, Dies at 86: A Life in Pictures” — what this page in the network covers. Mike Ditka, the fiery Hall of Fame tight end and Super Bowl-winning head coach of the Chicago Bears, has died at age 86. Ditka, known as 'Iron Mike,' led the Bears to their only Super Bowl victory in 1986 with a dominant 15-1 season and a 46-10 rout of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX. He was a two-time NFL Coach of the Year and also coached the New Orleans Saints, but his legacy is forever tied to the Monsters of the Midway.
As a player, Ditka was a five-time Pro Bowl selection and won an NFL championship with the Bears in 1963. His larger-than-life personality, trademark mustache, and no-nonsense style made him a cultural icon, from his famous 'Grabowski' quote to his appearance in commercials and even a brief political run.
