30.4% Joe Gibbs, Redskins

18.1% Andy Reid, Eagles

6.3% Tom Coughlin, Giants



I don't care about anything else. Fuck that shit. Damn media makes people think fatass over there is actually a good coach. HOW?!? that is not possible. Mayhbe if he had belichick next to him he could do it but this coach can't get his team to the playoffs or win 10 games. He can get out coached 35-7. 35-7. That is coaching. That is a sign that he can't coach in comparison to who beat him.

i can understand people putting the cowboys offense ahead of the skins, because of T.O, though i disagree. but there is no way bill parcells is a better coach than the HOF'er, mighty, joe gibbs.

While I voted for Joe Gibbs, I have trouble trashing any of the coaches in our division. They are all very good and talented coaches that deserve respect.

As far as people thinking 2-3 teams from the NFC East will go to the playoffs, I simply don't see it. The division winner will go. The two wild card teams will be relatively weak teams (Rams/Cardinals) then another team prolly from either the NFC North or MAYBE NFC East/South will get a 2nd spot. Both the NFC East and NFC South play hard schedules and will split a lot of games making their records seem worse than their talent (though I think the South is overrated)

Prior to the start of last season, some writer-can't remember who-said that he thought Andy Reid was overrated as a coach. That he had spent the past few years owning the NFC East by feeding off the likes of Spurrier, Campo, Fassel, and a Gibbs who had been out of the league for 12 years.

But with Parcells firmly entrenched in Dallas, Gibbs with a year under his belt, and even Tom Coughlin Reid would be exposed as not up to their level. Not yet at least.

I thought that was interesting.

I think that was me. Friggin' Genius.

Who is the best coach in the NFC East?

45.1% Bill Parcells, Cowboys
30.8% Joe Gibbs, Redskins

going in the right direction, but nowhere near where it should be.

I think that Gibbs doesn't get the accolade that Parcells does is because of the amount of Parcells assistants - or West Point Guys - that havegone on to become Head coaches. Belichek, Weiss, Crennel, Groh, Tom Coglahn (sp) , Co-ordinator Carthon.

Parcells is the equivalent of Walsh in terms of acolytes.

I really believe that Parcells is a media darling mainly because of his press conferences. He's always good for an interesting quote and the media eats it up.

Gibbs is much more straight laced and doesn't offer up much of anything in his pressers.

If you compare their coaching resumes, I don't see how anyone can objectively say that Parcells is the better coach. I think it's very even.

They are both cream of the crop, but I would give the slight edge to Gibbs.

Can anyone tell me if Gibbs assistants have had success as Head coaches?

I think that Jimmy Johnsons rep has been tarnished a little bit because of the lack of success of his assistants - I don't have to tell you guys about Norv Turner - Dave Wanstadt (sp) Butch Davis....

Here is a better list of the coaches under the Parcells Tree.



1. Parcells (Dallas)
2. Belichick (New England)
3. Tom Coughlin (New York Giants)
4. Saban (Miami)
5. Romeo Crennel (Cleveland)
6. Eric Mangini (New York Jets)
7. Sean Payton (New Orleans)
8. Linehan (St. Louis)



And before I get the usual 'How many Super Bowls has Parcells won without Belichek' let me say this; the same amount that Belichek has won without Crennel or Weiss.
