He won four Super Bowls with a group that included Ronnie Lott, Eric Wright, and Dwight Hicks.

After serving that position for many years, he was hired by former colleague Mike Holmgren to be the new defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers.

Following his head coaching jobs, Rhodes served as the defensive coordinator for the Washington Redskins and the Denver Broncos.

[4] On January 28, 2008, Ray Rhodes joined his sixth NFL organization when he was hired by the Houston Texans as an assistant defensive backs coach.

"[5] In Rhodes's first season, he received the NFL Coach of the Year Award as the Eagles overcame a 1–3 start to finish 10–6 and qualify for the playoffs as a wild card.

[6] Despite playing the first-round game at home, the Eagles were an underdog to the Detroit Lions, whose starting left tackle, Lomas Brown, guaranteed an easy win.

Using this perceived lack of respect as a rallying cry, Philadelphia dismantled Detroit, 58–37, at one point leading the game by a 51–7 score.

Once again, Philadelphia reached the playoffs as a wild card, traveling to San Francisco to face the 49ers, Rhodes's former team.

As the team struggled through the season, it was widely speculated that players had grown weary of Rhodes's fiery approach and were tuning him out.

Rhodes spent the season under heavy scrutiny by the Wisconsin sports media, beginning with accusations of underachieving.

Months later, Rhodes accused the team of setting him up to fail, stating that Wolf had hired him into "a situation where there was an overestimation of the talent there."

[13] During the 2006 season, Rhodes suffered from stroke-like symptoms while on the Seahawks' team flight home from a game at Chicago; the plane made an emergency landing in South Dakota due to the incident.
