Re: Smith Edges Dungy for Coach of Year
Smith is largely thought to be responsible for the defense in Chicago, so he gets more credit for the success of the D.
Gibbs has (arguably) the best d-coordinator as his assistant, so he gets much less credit for our defensive success. Our offense hasn't been consistantly explosive, so there isn't a lot of credit to be taken there.
I'm not saying Gibbs hasn't done the most amazing job here. I would trade him for no one. I would say that Lovie did more with less, though.
