In games decided by seven points or less, Spurrier’s team was 7-10. Under Gibbs, they’re 8-12.
In two seasons, Spurrier’s Redskins were penalized 240 times. Gibbs is on pace for 224.
With Gibbs at the helm, the Skins average 116 yards per game rushing. Under Spurrier – it’s 111.
Spurrier’s offensive line allowed 81 sacks over two seasons. With Gibbs and Bugel as coaches – with a more mobile quarterback -- they’re projected to allow 79.
I don’t know how anyone can’t be disappointed at this. Would we all have given Steve Spurrier another year to work things out since many appear to give Gibbs a free pass at this point?

It may be more interesting to see a compare of year #2 for each
