Gibbs vs. Spurrier -- stats about even?

The point is, Marvin never really said that he was in it for the long haul with Spurrier. Gregg Williams probably could have easily gotten a head coaching job this year if he wanted to.... i.e Cleveland or Miami.....but Williams has said that he wants to stay here and see things through.

If you think GW is hanging around with the skins out of the goodness of his heart or for some larger purpose you are highly mistaken. If memory serves I cant recall his name even being mentioned for any of the jobs you noted (maybe that has to do with his poor performance as Bills head coach). When the right offer comes along GW will thank JG and the redskins for their help and move on.

GW is being paid very well here, so if another team is interested the catch is they're gonna have to top what he's making here to lure him away. How badly other teams are interested is the key question.

So what is your point Irish? How can we compare Spurrier's coaching staff to the coaching Staff Gibbs has had (and has) in the NFL? There is no comparsion.

What I am saying in response to That Guy's post back on page 6 or 7 is that he says no way could OBC have had as good a coach as GW on his staff and what I say is that he had a better one in the form of Marvin Lewis. IMO a comparison of those coaches shows ML to be the better coach. As far as a top to bottom comparison of staffs, I'll give the edge to Gibbs' staff.

Marvin Lewis was also paid very well here. In fact he was paid more as an assistant than some head coaches in the league. He was lured away by the prospect of being a head coach. I dont think he would have left for another assistant's job, it was the job title he left for.

If someone offers GW a head coach job it wont matter what the redskins pay, he will go to be the head man.

I would think the pay would have to at least be similar. I doubt he would take a huge pay cut to be a HC again.

lewis was mad he didn't get our HC job (which he should have gotten btw), and he didn't make any bones about wanting to be a HC no matter what and as soon as possible.

Well remember that just before we brought in Lewis is what widely expected that the Bucs would name him their head coach. At the last second they changed their mind. And ultimately traded for Gruden

Is there a stat for lockerroom? Seems Spurrier had lost controll of his team internally. Allowing the players to dictate the mood in the locker room. Gibbs is the boss and what he says goes. We are so much more competative with Gibbs. Is this really a question that needs to be asked? If you ask it maybe you should just go cheer for the gamecocks or how about the cowgurls.

What it all boils down to is this: When Steve Spurrier comes back to the NFL and wins at least 2 Super Bowls, let alone with different quarterbacks and running backs, then I'll agree that it would be somewhat feasible to compare Spurrier to Gibbs. Until then, I can't see the logic in such a comparision.
