Are We Critiquing the Wrong Coaches?

[JoeRedskin]

Ummmm, nooooo. Perhaps he is suggesting that different successful coaches have different coaching styles. History is replete with coaches who have been successful with both a less demonstrative manner (Landry?) and those who are more demonstrative (cowher).

Your original complaint was that Gibbs is too stoic. I would suggest to you, that his demeanor on the sidelines is similar (maybe even exactly the same) as it was during his superbowl seasons.

If your going to argue a point, it would really help if you remembered what it was.

Sorry Joe... It would help if you can fellow what everyone has posted.

I have stuck with my Gibbs comment until others posted that "Coughlin's" team has been out of control". So, the Coughlin comment and comparison to coaches like Coughlin is stupid as I pointed out.

I don't think there's a direct correlation between showing emotion and winning. It's all circumstantial really I think.

Nooo. I did follow what everyone posted.
1) You post that Gibbs is too stoic which, being an assinine comment, was pretty much shot down by everyone (and in the interim post and juxtapose completely incongrous photos of Gibbs);

2) as an example of the error of your original comment Matty says that if hysterics were everything Coughlin - who is not doing particularly well this year even he has in the past - would not have a four game losing streak; and

3) You misconstrue Matty's comment as an assertion that showing emotion is never successful and argue that emotional coaches can succeed.

Okay, so end our lesson in Logical Thinking 101, think you can keep up?

I rest my case.

Thanks Joe! LOL

In my humble opinion, you misinterpreted what Celts32 was saying.
