Give me a break! You can't tell me with a staight face that Norv Turner is better than Joe Gibbs under any circumstances, not even as an offensive coordinator.

At this moment in time I think Norv and Joe are about equal. I never thought I'd say that but Joe just does not have it in today's NFL.

You know what's funny? All this talk recently about how Dungy has shown that you don't have to be a hard-ass drill sargeant coach to win a Super Bowl, unlike the Parcells, Billicks, and Belichicks of the world.

I'm sorry, didn't Gibbs demonstrate that three different times?

Yes, he sure did.

One thing a HC has to do is command respect from his players. Norv will never do this when he walks in a room. He may be a great play caller and O/C but that's it. He will never be a leader of men. At least Joe still commands the respect from his players.

Huh? When has Norv proved that he has had "it" ever?

Norv is a great offensive coordinator. That is it.
