Re: Gibbs vs. Spurrier -- stats about even?

In games decided by seven points or less, Spurrier’s team was 7-10. Under Gibbs, they’re 8-12.

In two seasons, Spurrier’s Redskins were penalized 240 times. Gibbs is on pace for 224.

With Gibbs at the helm, the Skins average 116 yards per game rushing. Under Spurrier – it’s 111.

Spurrier’s offensive line allowed 81 sacks over two seasons. With Gibbs and Bugel as coaches – with a more mobile quarterback -- they’re projected to allow 79.

I don’t know how anyone can’t be disappointed at this. Would we all have given Steve Spurrier another year to work things out since many appear to give Gibbs a free pass at this point?

Beems you forgot maybe the most lopsided stat of all and that's our defense under Gibbs, SS never had a D like what we have had the last 2 years under Williams, Gibbs defiently has had a huge advantage to put more victories in the win colum than SS had and is basically in dead heat with the old ball coach.
