riggins44 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I was thinking about on the way home yesterday. Last year and going into this year, many felt the game had passed Gibbs by. Funny thing is I haven't heard from those people lately. Amazing... :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Dog Night Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 I was thinking about on the way home yesterday. Last year and going into this year, many felt the game had passed Gibbs by. Funny thing is I haven't heard from those people lately. Amazing... :point2sky They've been mysteriously absent for several weeks, haven't they? Maybe someone should form a search party. Here's the description of who to look for: MISSING: Hundreds of erstwhile football fans predicting the demise of Joe Gibbs' ability to coach NFL football. LAST SEEN: Posting messages on various websites, working for ESPN & SI, kneeling with mouths wide open in front of Bill Parcells. WEARING: Blue and white shirts with stars on them, but only after Cowboy victories. After Dallas losses look for weak-minded individuals wearing non-descript neutral colors who are trying to blend into the woodwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Only three people voted no? What the heck is wrong with you people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyH Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 It looked that way last season. This year Gibbs has the Skins playing very well. 4 good head coaches in the NFC East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsphoto Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Of course the game has passed Gibbs by. I learned this by reading all of the stories on him this offseason. Particularily from so many of the posts here...! I walked with Joe Gibbs from the post game new conference after the Vikings game last year to the locker room with Joe Gibbs. My parting comment was "how quickly people forget, it's been over 10 years since we were able to stop the run." He smiled and said Thank you. I said Bless you and Thank you Coach. Joe Gibbs is one of the five most brilliant coach's that has ever coached in the NFL. A leader of Men, he knows you must first stop the run, then run the ball and then not turn the ball over. This simple formula allows your team to do everything else. Including win most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

28rdsknsfn28 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I went with no but after reading all the posts here I wish I had voted no. Can I change my vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReefa Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 The game HAD passed Joe Gibbs by. That's what happens when you leave for 11 years. Now, when you're a Hall of Fame Coach who was, at one point, one of the most innovative minds in the game, you can catch up and pass the game rather quickly, which is, of course, exactly what happened.

grhqofb5 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I always found it interesting last year when people were beginning to say this about Gibbs. Gibbs was twice the coach that Dick Vermeil was in Philly, and Dick was able to come back after 15 years and win a superbowl. He needed a couple years also, but when he had his players, that was it. I think the same logic applies to Gibbs. You have to let a coach get "his players" together. Even with free agency, this is still possible. Think back to the 1980s, when Gibbs was in his coaching prime. How hard would it have been to lock up Neil Olkeiwicz (sp.), Kelvin Bryant, Joe Jacoby, Jeff Bostic, Mark Rypien, Ricky Sanders, Dexter Manley, even Gary Clark? None of these players were supposed to amount to much in the league, but all were Gibbs' players. And all were integral parts of Super Bowl teams. Free agency or not, Gibbs still possesses the ability to put together this type of unit. It's only a matter of time before we all see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Kao Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I was torn. I was thinking "no", but after this last Sunday's game, I find myself having to go with "no". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regularjoe Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Hilarious thread to go with the giddiness of a well earned blowout. Football at it's heart is a very simple game. It's about blocking and tackling. Run and shoot, run and gun, hurry up, zone blitz, 46, whatever you want to call your schemes, the heart of the game is the fundamentals. Joe Gibbs knows this better than most and I always laughed at the notion the game "passed him by". The kinds of things he emphasizes, ie.g., the fundamentals, were true in his day, before his day, and will be true long after he's gone barring any substantial changes in football's rules.

Heavy Jumbo Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 What are the psychological implications of which "no" you choose? I chose the bottom one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez3 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I think it has passed by Mike Nolan- the guy should retire now and save face. It's a shame to see men toe the line in attempts to succeed and than see that after about 8 games that they obviously will never get it. Sorry Mike, you had a good run.

jrocrb96 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 It's passed him by & because I'm a Cowboy fan I will be honest & say it's definitely passed Bill Parcells by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
