Tampa won the NFC South with 9 wins after going 4-12 last year...5 game swing and a division crown isn't too bad.

If we want to play that numbers game...Gibbs did the same thing. However, the Skins finished 3rd in a much tougher division.

[quote=Sheriff Gonna Getcha;401157]I'm sorry, but I'm in the minority here and do not think he should have been named coach of the year. The guy cheated, got slapped with the biggest fine on a coach in the history of the league, and cost his team a 1st round pick, not to mention his other acts of class.

Giving Belichick the COY award is like giving an Pulitzer to an author who plagiarized parts of someone else's book. In the absence of the cheating scandal, Belichick undoubtedly deserves it. In light of the cheating scandal, he doesn't.[/quote]

I agree with you SGG 100%.

Re: Belichick is Coach of the Year
 

i love reading all the gibbs got robbed crap because a redskin didn't win something. Lets see, Belichick went undefeated, and rightfully won the coach of the year. McCarthy(green bay, probably spelled the name wrong) went 13-3 with a team that was 8-8 last season, Wade Philips went 13-3 with a team that couldn't win more than 9 or 10 games with a hall of fame coach - Gibbs on the other hand, if the decision was made for the last 4 weeks, then yeah i guess you can give him some votes. but the over all season evaluation does not warrant him getting any more votes or votes at all over the guys that were named. Romeo should have gotten votes before Joe - 10-6 in cleveland?? thats pretty freaking remarkable. and Jeff fisher - 10-6 with a talentless titans team. Stop freaking out everytime someone from the Redskins isn't given something or given "props"

with our payroll, players and coaches, we should have certainly been better than our final record. with that said, the records go back to 0-0 this weekend, so HAIL SKINS, lets whip some seattle ass!

Re: Belichick is Coach of the Year
 

well sports illustrated what can you really say other than that.
SI finest stand out and i,ll leave it at that..let the voters vote and the writers write.

gibbs has already owned that award a few years and would be nice to get it again but i,ll take another superbowl ring in a year or two,if not this year.

I think Bleed made it clear that he wasn't bitching, just saying he felt that Gibbs deserved at least one vote. Hard to argue against that really, I think.

Re: Belichick is Coach of the Year
 

total crap...this guy cheats and is fined and even docked a 1st round pick and still gets the coach of the year?

It is all about W and L, nothing about integrity or character....obviously.

All teams cheat to a point. If a WR catches a ball and knows he is out of bounds he should show the integrity to say so or the lineman who grabs a little jersy so the ref cannot see it is cheating etc... Every team does cheat the rules to a point but if its not pointed out by the Refs then its ok in the eyes of the players. Heck even sometime coaches and players will hurry to spike the ball so the Refs cannot get the right call. You can call that good playing but if you are knowingly breaking a rule and do not say so then why is that not a character or integrity issue?

Re: Belichick is Coach of the Year
 

Belichick shouldn't get it for the simple fact that he cheated. I don't care if it didn't really change the team from going 16-0. He cheated. Case closed. I'm for the asterisk.

Re: Belichick is Coach of the Year
 

I dont understand how BB didnt get all 50 votes. He did something that has not been done in a long, long, long time, going undefeated in the regular season.

It a regular season award, he was perfect in the regular season. This was the biggest no brainer in the history of awards.

Maybe because he's a royal a-hole?

Re: Belichick is Coach of the Year
 

If the requirements to be coach of the year are defined as being an arrogant self absorbed jerk. A coach who promotes poor sportsmanship and disdain for professionalism. Openly participating in disgusting schemes to cheat, and showing malice and contempt for the authorities of the league.

Then yes, they gave it to the right man. (and he should have gotten all 50 votes)

Re: Belichick is Coach of the Year
 

I'm not suprised, he may be the biggest a-hole in the league but he deserves recognition for going 16-0.

Re: Belichick is Coach of the Year
 

not a chance this went to anyone else...

Can I assume you think it ok for a voter to with hold a vote because he doesnt like a guy no matter how deserving of the award the guy is?

I guess I dont know the guy to know for sure if he's really an a-hole or not. He isnt the most warm person on the field or to the media but thats the public persona and the private person are not necessarily the same.

I never said it was ok, just throwing out a reason why some people might not have voted for him. Right or wrong, some voters might take those sort of things in to account.
