Joe Gibbs - The greatest coach in the history of the NFC East?

[starman22]

Just heard this on ESPN radio while sitting at my desk working so I don't have a link.
I'm not even sure who is all on the panel, but they are talking about Chip Kelly being racist and whatnot, when one of them (possibly SAS) says that some in the media are treating him like he is a better coach than Joe Gibbs who is the best coach in the history of the NFC EAST.

Is it possible that this is the consensus. Could he really be regarded as better than Tom Landry?

Just thought I would share, it struck me as funny at first, but then I think he was being serious.

Strange thoughts from a strange dude

Considering Landry is one of the greatest coaches in the history of the NFL, I don't see how Gibbs over Landry could even be a serious thought in someone's tiny mind.

Is it really that outrageous a claim? Gibbs has won 3 SBs. Landry 2. Gibbs winning percentage is .621 (and that includes that stupid comeback in the early 2000s). Landry's is .605.

Landry does have him on NFC titles - he has 5 to Gibb's 4.

Consider the source...SAS AND ESPN....disaster before it begins.
SAS knew exactly what he was saying, knowing it would irk the Dallas fans. Not even the most avid Commanders fan, or most hating Cowboys fan would say that was true.
Well, we may have a few on this forum that may say it, so I may be corrected....LOL....

I might could have put Coughlin in between Andy Reid and everyone else... but oh well.

I personally don't think Gibbs was better than Landry, however, the 3 Superbowl rings is very meaningful in this kind of conversation. At the end of the day, it's about those rings.

Don't forget Parcells. Probably should be inserted between Gibbs and Vermiel.

I'd add Don Coryell to the list. Cardinals were tough when he was there

I sure did. That's what I get for typing it out real fast before really thinking it through.

I agree, between Gibbs and Vermeil would be about right.

I didn't even know that he coached in the East, lol.

Yeah, at least 3 hall of fame coaches that I know of. More will probably be going in too.

No one in the NFC East has built a dynasty as quick as Jimma Johnson. And Jimma, unlike udders, went out on top and could half had 3 Lombardini rings if he had wanted to remain.

No Parcells?

Oops...I notice it was already pointed out. my bad

 

[jobberone]

I think Landry was better but I'd put Gibbs right behind him.
