Re: Some other ways of looking at Gibbs' Second Stint
I'm not a big numbers guy, but I do find the following somewhat interesting regarding the team's record:
2004-2007 30-34 (1-2 playoffs)
2000-2003 27-37 (no playoffs appearances)
1996-1999 33-30-1 (1-1 playoffs)
Is the team better off as a result of JG's return? From a won-loss perspective I would have to say no. The team won 3 more games in 4 years under Gibbs than they did during the Spurrier/Marty/Turner-Robiskie tenure. Do we consider that record all that much better? From a playoff perspective, yes the team is better off. 2 appearances in 4 years with a playoff win is heading in the right direction, but we as knowledgeable football fans, and passionate Redskin fans should not be satisfied with simply making it to the playoffs. Ownership and the coaching staff and players should not be satisfied with that either. That is setting the bar too low.
