2. A real coach does a much better job of clock management, and selecting plays to challenge. Joe Gibbs is horrible on both those counts. The guy cannot effectively challenge a play, and his clock managment has been god awful.
3. A real coach finds a way to win regardless of a few injuries. This ties back to the GM argument in No.1. Had we had the depth at the o-line through the draft, the injuries would not be such a big deal. Had we not traded away picks for Brandon Lloyd this would not be a big deal. Had we not traded away picks for Brunnel and T.J. Duckett, this would not be a big deal.
4. Either you call the plays or you do not. Don't sit here and tell me Al Saunders calls all the plays irrespective of Gibbs, that's bullshilt. Gibbs has the final say on play calling. So, it was Gibbs who decided to go for it on 4th down against the Bucs rather than kick a field goal. A real coach kicks the damb ball and takes the points.

I honestly think that our clock management has been much improved these last 3 weeks. Like today we called a timeout with 3:30 left, something we wouldn't have done 4 weeks ago we would saved those timeouts until after the 2 minute warning most likely.
We really needed that touchdown. The field goal would have changed nothing. We needed a touchdown and the coaches thought that our players where good enough to get a foot and a half.
