I'm surprised it took someone this long to call me on that!! the 80's n 90's gibbs was the bomb,this gibbs is not,this gibbs barely has a better record than norv turner did his first 3 yrs,and turner had way less to work with,not to mention signing anybody you want in free agency,now no way am i saying turner is a better coach than gibbs,I'm just saying I'm not happy with this gibbs,the skins were by far the biggest dissapointment in the nfl this yr,and if it was anybody else besides gibbs coaching them,he either would have been fired or be in the hot seat bigtime

At least he's won more playoff games (one), than Parcells did with the Cowboys (zero), this go round. I have to agree with you though, the second incarnation of Gibbs has been pretty dissapointing so far, even as much as I respect the guy. I don't think if someone else were coaching they'd be on the hot set though, I mean they did go 10-6 the previous year and win a playoff game, sometimes you just have bad years, and this one was extraordinarily bad! You have to admit though, they did play a lot better the second half of the season, even if their record didn't reflect it. I still strongly believe next season they'll have playoff caliber team again.

This is 100% true and even more irrelivant. Any coach who wasn't a legend probably would be on a very short leash at best right now. The point is that Joe Gibbs is a legend. He earned his rep, it wasn't handed to him. There were some erroneous personel errors made by Gibbs and his staff, but remember that he has never earned respect as a personel guy, which should be treated seperately from his coaching ability. I think he's more than capable of learning from his errors as a personel guy. Hell, I think Snyder has learned from his errors, and could be a half decent personel guy. Can't blame them from making mistakes resulting from inexperience, everyone has to start somewhere.

Any coaching errors made this year were probably attributable to a lack of Gibbs' influence rather than to Gibbs himself. I honestly think he learned more this year than all of his prior coaching expierences combined. At the end of the year, he was even reconsidering some of his old-school conservative tendencies, considering going for a 4th and 1 vs. NO before correctly opting to kick the FG. That's the mark of a good coach. Not that anyone should be questioning whether or not Gibbs is a good coach.

From a righting the ship standpoint, is there any coach in the league better at it than Gibbs?

I guess you didn't click on the link I posted in the original post (probably because it didn't have Gibbs in the title, but it was about the same thing). I should have changed the link title.

Jeez, now I'm thinking everyone thought I was talking about Joe Gibbs. No, no, no. Not at all.

I think that the Cowturds should make T.O. the NFL's only player/coach. That way he can finally make a game plan that makes him happy. Plus I would love to watch the press conferences where the "coach" complains about his star WR being a lazy loud mouth fool.
