Re: Gibbs coach of the year?
I understand why people are talking about M. Lewis also being mentioned for C.O.Y. but in no way did he do what Gibbs has done. And I am not talking about Gibbs past achievements.
If you look at the Bengals when Lewis took over, they finished 8-8 his first year, and then 8-8 his second year. They would stumble in the first 8 weeks of the season and then finish strong the last 8 weeks. This year they finally came out strong in the first 8 weeks of the season. Also it has taken Lewis 3 years to accomplish this.
If you look at Gibbs, and mind you the past is the past, he took one of the worst offenses in the league and has them ranked 2 overall. He stuck his own neck out and his reputation all on a so-called "washed up" Mark Brunell. But that is what great coaches do, they get there team to play all the time.
Yeah, Lewis is doing a great job in Cincy but again if you look they were right in the playoff race every year that he was there head coach.
My opinion is that Gibbs has done more in the 1 than what Lewis has done so far after his 2 years asa HC.
Just my thoughts...
