#4: [B]Joe Gibbs is one of the best coaches of all time and will eventually be in the Hall of Fame[/B], and this season he has done a great job of managing his team down the stretch in the wake of the Sean Taylor tragedy. However, his clock management has not been great and there are times when it appears the game has passed him by. Gibbs has two excellent sidekicks, though, in offensive coordinator Al Saunders and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. Gibbs has never been great as a delegator, so it is important that he does not try to be too hands-on in the postseason and allows his coaches to do their jobs, and if he does that, the Redskins will be a dangerous team in the playoffs.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

That's pretty bad. How could a professional sports writer not know Gibbs is in the HOF?! Don’t they have an editor that should have caught that? Disgraceful!:spank::httr:

Dumbasses...:doh:

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Unreal.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

And you gotta PAY for that trash?

J-Dawg

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

WTF? Goes to show you how stupid Scouts Inc. is, has been, and will continue to be. I don't really get why anyone would pay for their service? I'm pretty sure they have an army of soccer moms among their staff.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

lol @ espn in general...

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

WTF?! Wish I had seen that while I was at work today. I'll let the dot-com guys know asap.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Gee, I really hope Gibbs makes it in the HOF one of these days.

Jackass

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Oh... my... God.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Wtf????

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

I am definitely going to make the trip to Canton when Joe Gibbs is one day enshrined in the HOF ...

Someday he can join Art Monk in the HOF hopefully.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

The writer didn't specify which Hall of Fame. He... could have... meant... the.......ummmm.....NASCAR HOF, yeah, the NASCAR HOF!

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Listen guys, when the AFL and NFL finally merge this year, this will all make a lot more sense.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Not only did they gaffe on the Hall of Fame thing, but the general assessment (sp) just seems so elementary.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

i kind of want to email them or something and tell them how stupid they are

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Was that written by a 5th grader? He may [I]eventually[/I] be a Hall of Fame coach? I'm not even gonna waste any more breath on this one.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Okay, so I lied about not wasting anymore breath on this one. Scouts Inc. also ranked us as the worst overall defense out of any of the playoff teams!!! Are they serious? Did someone highjack their site and post this stuff, or are they really that dumb? Hacks Inc. is more like it. Wow.

Wow.

Meanwhile Seattle is #5??

What a joke.

I want my money back from ESPN Insider.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

I like how they say "watches games"...no shit, sherlock!

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

they are ranking by position, not by how the defense plays as a unit or their chemistry. that is a dumb way to rank a collective defense IMO

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

[quote=12thMan;400852]I like how they say "watches games"...no shit, sherlock![/quote]Actually, they still have the Rally Monkey to do the actual work, they just write the columns.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

I hear that next season the NFL is going to introduce the Foreward Pass and move the goal posts to the back of the endzone.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Forgive the poor reviewer. He just realized he was watching games from 2006, not 2007.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

My favorite "observation" is that Gibbs has never been a great delegator. Whether it was Pettibon, GW, Danny Smith, Pete Rodriguiez or Wayne Sevier, does Gibbs do any hands on coaching of Defense or Special Teams? All he does is delegate the coaching.

LOL I know.

He has the largest staff in the league for a reason.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Maybe Scouts inc. is.......another outsourced American company??????? It has to be the only explanation, as Gibbs is generally referred to as "HOF coach Joe Gibbs"..............every 23 seconds

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Are you kidding? Gibbs is [U]NOT[/U] a Hall Of Famer? I thought Monk not getting in was bad but I figured with 3 Super Bowl wins with 3 different quarterbacks Gibbs was a lock.
In order to right this wrong, I am starting the Gibbs/Monk HOF campaign to get these two deserving gentlemen into Canton. EVENTUALLY it will happen.:confused:

Maybe someday there will be a place where fans can get access to these types of articles at a moments notice over a boxy looking thing at their desk. We'll call it a 'Magic TV w/ keyboard and clicky thing' and maybe someone will figure out how to connect all the 'Magic TVs w/ keyboard and clicky thing' together to share these insightful articles. We'll call it the Intermesh. Someday...

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Unreal.

Morons.

This not only got past the writer, but his editors, the website guys and all of their management at Scouts, Inc, but it was missed by ESPN too.

They're becoming a joke. (ESPN) I also don't think I'll ever be able to trust anything from Scouts, Inc.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

F-ing ridiculous.

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

Well I got them to fix it:

4. Washington Redskins: Joe Gibbs is one of the best coaches of all time, and this season he has done a great job of managing his team down the stretch in the wake of the Sean Taylor tragedy. However, his clock management has not been great and there are times when it appears the game has passed him by. Gibbs has two excellent sidekicks, though, in offensive coordinator Al Saunders and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. Gibbs has never been great as a delegator, so it is important that he does not try to be too hands-on in the postseason and allows his coaches to do their jobs, and if he does that, the Redskins will be a dangerous team in the playoffs.

A little ticked that they don't even acknowledge that he's in the HOF. And the "never been great as a delegator" comment is so off base it's laughable. But I'll save those battles for another day.

It's still wrong, he's still ranked #4 and all of their crap about him not being a great delegator is in there. All they did was remove ONE of their idiotic statements that were wrong.

:D

Kudos for setting them straight. At least now they have their facts straight. The Gibbs being a bad delegator is way wrong, but it's an opinion, not a fact. You set them straight on the facts, but it's up to them to come up with valid opinions - and they failed.

The fact is that their opinions are wrong. :)

Yes, he has done a wonderful job such as calling timeouts he doesn't have and costing his teams game. But he's in the Hall of Fame, its ok!

Re: Scouts Inc. ranks the playoff coaches
 

When did he call timeouts he didn't have?
