The Most Beloved Coach in History?

But when you think of which coach is loved the most by his former players and fans, the answer just has to be Gibbs.
but I think Gibbs takes the cake when it comes to love. Nowhere else do you hear players saying things like "It's like you're playing for your grandfather. You just want to go out there and fight for him." And what has ever generated such a buzz within the Beltway as much as his return did? The fans love this guy, how can you not? And I think the best part about him, is you can truly see that he loves us all right back. I mean he turned down a coaching opportunity with the Falcons several years ago. The only team he ever could have come back to was here, fighting for old D.C.

That's love right there. There's not a coach in all of history who'd I'd rather have.

GREAT GREAT post Schneed......agree with everything you said. :headbange

Well gibbs is my fav. but Madden is a close second. lol

I agree canthetuna...Madden should be on that list too.....his players really seemed to love playing for him too. And it takes a special coach to take charge of castoffs and renegade players........he had quite a group there.....
