The most underrated thing he does is handle Jerry and his ego. Parcells and Johnson, as great of coaches as they were, could never do it.

Does he handle them or does he tolerate them? This is something I've often wondered. Would love to see their meetings and to see how much actual authority he has in those conversations.

He’s intelligent, organized, consistent, and able to dampen the circus atmosphere Jerry insists on cultivating. He develops players well. He keeps the team focused, and they play hard.

Most of what he does poorly is massively exaggerated by upset fans. They hated his play calling, though his offenses were generally in the top ten in the league in terms of production/series. They are his press conferences, though fail to understand he does it for a very good reason. They hate his clapping...never understood why that was such an issue. Really, what they’re unhappy about is the team not going on a playoff run, and when they don’t like that result, the easiest person to blame is the coach. Personally, I don’t think he’s miss d the playoffs with a playoff caliber team until last season.

Good comments. The players get behind him and there is mutual respect. I agree.
