If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

I know Coaches don't play the game, but they do play a huge part in the result. If you absolutely had to win a game which one of these legendary Coaches would you want on the Sideline? Here's the list:

a: Vince Lombardi
b: Bill Belichick
c: Bill Walsh
d: Joe Gibbs
e: Don Shula

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

vince lombardi.it's that simple.i would'nt have shula on the list either.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

I think I would have to go with Bill Walsh. Gibbs and Lombardi would be a really close second and thrid choice though.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

Bill Belichick. All around master.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

Marty! i mean come one, he has to break this bad streak sooner or later.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

Joe Gibbs hands down. Anyone that can win with 3 different QB's with only one of them being good (Theismann) has done something right. Hopefully after this year it will be 4 different QB's.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

None really stand out over another, so I'll take Gibbs 'cause I like him the most.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

Does Belichick have Viniatieri kicking for him?

Meh...I'll take Gibbs.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

I'll take Walsh.. The man changed the way the game is played, nobody else on that list can make that claim.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

George Allen, the man could turn a team of losers into winners overnight.

Of the choices listed, Bill Walsh - one of the greatest football minds, and he was always so well prepared. The one slight drawback for Walsh is that he wasn't as emotional a coach as some others like Lombardi, so for a single game having a coach who can press the right buttons to fire up his players might be advantageous - Walsh could do this well for the long haul, for a single game someone like Lombardi might be much better - but I'll still go with Walsh for his football mind and preparedness.

I believe the cowboys won 3 superbowls using the Gibbs (Coryell system) the Skins won 3 SB's and lost one. West Coast offense is the Paul Brown's offense, I'm sorry but I would take Gibbs over Walsh any day.

You have to be the biggest George Allen fan in the world

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

I like Clutches choice George Allen, with Lombardi next. Those guys got the most of their teams. Bellichik and Walsh would be next. Gibbs won with 3 qb's because he was stacked with the best WR trio in football along with a good stable of RB's and the best O line of all time. His defense was fairly solid as well. IF it weren't for Gibbs II he would have been there before Walsh on my list, but his second go around has been so so at best. Also I am not sure he should be the team president. Our drafts have sucked thus far with the exception of our first rounders and now McIntosh, and half of our FA acquisitions are busts or are currently looking that way.

No shit! That dude can smell a George Allen thread in his sleep.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

It depends on which sport you are talking about.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

of that list, ill take Lombardi. i don't think he ever lost a championship game. but coach Gibbs would be a close second

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

Bill Belichick, easy. He easily outwitts every other coach in the league. And he doesen't need great players to get the job done either. All great coaches usually have a reasonable amount of talent, but look at his team every year you look at their starters and say "who is that?!?" atleast once.

The Cowboys won 3 SB's because they had the best players. That system stuff is overrated.

Give me the best game day coach. Bill B.

oh yeah? how did old "genius" make out in Cleveland with sucky players?

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

Gibbs because I'm a homer

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

Since he hasn't gotten much love, I'll go with Shula. Winningest Head Coach in NFL history, 2 Super Bowl victories, 1 NFL Championship. And head coach of the only undefeated team in NFL history.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

My hearts says Gibbs but my head says Lombardi. :D

To find out which sport they are talking about, you could read the first post.

[QUOTE=dmek25;344529]oh yeah? how did old "genius" make out in Cleveland with sucky players?[/QUOTE]

I said he doesn't need GREAT players. Every coach needs an ounce of talent to get somewhere in any sport he just works with his talent better than anyone I have seen recently.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

reason i picked lombardi is because of his intimidation factor.the other side of the field does'nt know what to do,and his players would better damn know what to do or feel lombardi's fury!

I'd want this guy:

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

Gibbs, because he busts out the trick plays in a must-win game, and he puts his superstars back in punt-returns.

You always knew it was a huge game when you saw 28 back to return punts.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

I figure I bring back this thread and have you guys read the responses. What do you say now? I say [SIZE="7"]Gibbs[/SIZE] as usual.

Only if Brady is the QB. Again, he's 44 - 55 as a HC with other QBs.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

unfortunately, Belichek. Dont like him, but he wins and more importantly, he wins consistantly in todays NFL.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

I'd want Spurrier, with Ramsey playing QB!!!!

Seriously though, I'd definitely take Gibbs (I guess I'm a homer too). My second choice would be Walsh.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

Scotty Bowman

or Joe Gibbs.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

Joe Gibbs or John Madden. I love 'em both.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

Vince Lombardi. Lombardi could motivate his players to run through a brick wall if need be. In this day and age, you just don't see that. The Patriots are the closest to a team where each individual player is willing to make personal sacrifices to better the team. So my close second would go to Bill Belichek, but of course, my favorite is Joe Gibbs.

Re: If you absolutely had to win a game which Coach would you want on the sideline?
 

ACtually Smooty,

George Allen would be a great pick, but since he wasn't an option, I would say it is between Coach Gibbs and Walsh. Allen helped build the franchise into winners and Gibbs took them over the top!!!!!!!

Cooley, Blades, Golston, Fletcher, etc. Come on Gus I would argue Gibbs is doing what what he does best, finding good character guys to fill needs in their respective positions. It takestime for this to happen, just think of where we were when He took after Spurrier, what a nightmare!
