Are We Critiquing the Wrong Coaches?

So TO is a reflection of how Andy Reid and Bill Parcell's conduct themselves? Please, some of these guys aren't trying to conduct themselves as professionals. They're relying on their natural god-given ability to play football. If given the chance to slack and make millions while doing, some will. Count on it.

Also, Gibbs does not look like a deer caught in the headlights. Wide-eyed and stock still? He seems pretty composed to me. Smart enough not to allow emotions dictate his decision making process.

I am talking about a Gibbs coached team. That's why a TO wouldn't be a Redskin. Gibbs teams are "Gibbs Guys" you know " a real classy guy". So, with his lack of emotions and things going from bad to worse this whole teams engery look as drained as he does.

Gibbs is so stiff on the sidelines, I am waiting for him to freeze in that "arms crossed" stance he puts himself into every Sunday. Does he ever move?

Gibbs looks the same on the sidelines as he did when he was collecting Super Bowl trophies. If head coach sideline hysterics had anything to do with winning football games then the Giants would never lose...

Well.... Here is a link to some pictures from another thread. Gibbs today and one with the SB trophy.

And you say he looks the same?

don't be a tool, don't compare a sideline picture to a superbowl victory picture behind a podium. gibbs looks the same on the sidelines now as he did in his superbowl years, not too excited when leading and not to nervous when trailing, just calm, always stay calm.

Again, you're comparing apples to oranges. Anybody who is old enough to have witnessed Gibbs I will know that he has always had the same mannerisms back then as he does today. That's stretching it pretty fair to throw some flames at 'em.

What does a picture of him smiling at a parade with the SB trophy have to do with his sideline behavior...talk about apples and oranges. Who doesn't smile with the Super Bowl trophy in their hands?

Joe... Here is Celts post. Matty jumped in. I posted the link of a picture of Gibbs Collecting his SB trophy and this year sideline as Celts suggested.

As for Coughlin as stated by me "they won the NFC East last year"

As for hysterics... Coughlin and Cowher... pretty much hysterical coaches have proven to be winners.

Revisit Gibbs 1. The man was more animated because he was calling plays, talking to players and coaches.

Who do you think the better coach is right now....Gibbs or Cowher?

In line with TAFKAS' comment, and to give you the benefit of the doubt. I would suggest that you have misinterpreted Celts comment.

First - I wouldn't say either coach is "hysterical" perhaps "animated" is a better term. Further, as far as I can tell, no one has contended that demonstratively emotional coaches are doomed to failure. Rather, the point has been consistently made by others that it is the overall coaching ability of an individual rather than their particular style that is the most important factor.

I am sorry, but my personal recollections of Gibbs sideline demeanor during that time are that he was just as stoic and stone faced as his now. First time I saw him during Gibbs II, I remember thinking that, except for a few more wrinkles, he looks just the same as he used to. Even has the same damn hat.

Personally, I think both (but particularly Joe) are great coaches who have their ups and downs and whose sideline personas differ significantly.

As for who is the better coach "right now". Since Cowher is returning from an away game, he is probably drinking coffee or doing some other non-football related event, whereas Gibss is probably in meetings reviewing this weeks game plan. So, my vote would go to Gibbs at this particular moment.
