I didnt know great coaching gets you a 5-4 record and 3 4th quarter collapses, your right Gibbs can do no wrong.

Ultimately the buck has got to stop at Gibbs' feet. He is responsible for W-L record, which isn't particularly good. I just think it is hilarious when people blame Gibbs for false starts, fumbles, interceptions, defensive breakdowns, etc. Sorry, but the false start is squarely on Cooley's shoulders. You get your ass on the line and you don't move until the ball is snapped.
10 players didn't jump, Cooley did, but that's Gibbs' fault? 
By the way, I don't make excuses for Gibbs left and right. I stand by him when he is being unfairly criticized and criticize him when he deserves it. For example, I harshly criticized his clock management and burning timeouts. But there are an awful lot of people on this site who blame Gibbs for everything short of the Titanic.
As I said in another thread, there are WAY too many people who want to take things to extremes (e.g., Joe Gibbs is a joke). Think about what are you going to say and then mean what you type. When you say things like Joe Gibbs is a joke, you're just making yourself look stupid. The guy certainly doesn't look like a HoFer this time around, but to say he is a joke is simply dumb.
