What bothers us so much about Gibbs is the very thing that players love about him--that he rarely rants and raves or goes off on them in public. Therefore, he sets himself up to the receive heat from fans and media. Unfortunately, he has hitched his support behind players that frankly don't ante up to Gibbs and honor his nobel management approach.

They ask for fat contracts, ask to train at their homes, ask for soft practices during training camp, ask for no PT during preseason. All of which is granted. And then they let him down. So is that poor coaching or poor management? I think Gibbs' could not have prevented those turnovers by "coaching the players up". I don't believe he coaches much now anyway--it mostly the coordinators and assistants, IMO.

Today-six turnovers were not a symptom of poor coaching. However, it does not surprise many to see this effort given the indolent management culture that pervades Redskin Park.
