Why All The Hate Toward The Patriots?

[12thMan]

You guys keep using the word "character" when comparing Gibbs to Belichick. I honestly believe people are using the words character and personality interchangably here.

Let's be fair, there probably aren't more than two or three head coaches in the entire NFL that have more character than Joe Gibbs, if such a thing is quantifyable?

I don't think I'm using them interchangeably. For instance, I think Bill Cowher's personality is pretty abrasive and he probably comes across as an asshole. However, I have no reason to doubt his character.

Character doesn't mean you're a nice guy who sits in fields of daisy's strumming a guitar and thinking about peace and love.

Bill B. lacks character AND he's got an asshole personality, so double whammy on him and that's probably why people tend to dislike him.
