The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

I found this gem in the article reviewing the new WJFK Talk lineup, and I was actually glad I read the article.

In it, there's a quote from Coach Gibbs about whether he looked at a player's faith as a deciding factor in personnel decisions. Gibbs said:

"[When making personnel decisions, character] issues were always first with us. Second you had to be bright and sharp from a football standpoint. Third was talent. If you pick the right people as a coach, you'll be successful."

I find that his philosophy is a sound philosophy, and his record of achievement (including his final stint with the team), show that his coaching style flat out works.

I wish to emulate his philosophy when building teams of people, whether in church, in business, or for sport. Thanks, Coach Gibbs for sharing your principles with us.

To further comment on the smart football players, that comment was made about Billicheat on NFL Access recently. That no matter who he brings in, they're smart football players.



I guess superior talent at key positions helps, too...

You can't fix stupid!

That is sooooo true

Joe Gibbs had four different QBs in his four SB games.

Q: Who played center?
A: Jeff Bostic. A smart player.

Three different QBs. Joey T was QB in the first two.

Oops! I must have been half-asleep when I typed that!

Although Jay S got in for a play or two in SB 26. Surely that's what you meant.

Asking Redskins fans what they think of Coach Gibbs? Hmmm....
Of course we love him always will. His philosophy won us three SuperBowls.
