Re: Gibbs vs. Spurrier -- stats about even?
I was all for giving Spurrier another year, I don't think any coach can be fairly judged in just 2 seasons.
What disturbed me about Spurrier was the lackadasical approach he had to coaching. From his initial comments about other NFL coaches working too hard, to not knowing the names of his own players, to Jansen stating they didn't even have gameplans week to week.
Spurrier's teams didn't show 1/4 of the heart and fight that Gibbs' teams have, and that all starts with the mentality that the head coach instills in the team.
