Here is to all you Redskins fans that have been talking about Gibbs beating the Cowboys. He was 11-12 versus the Cowboys. The only team he had a losing record to with more than 2 games played. Consider the Cowboys were under .500 from 86-90 at the end of the Landry era and the rebuilding start of Jimmy Johnson and you will wonder the why the Redskins fans think that Gibbs can beat the Cowboys? I enjoy the rivalry with the Redskins being a Cowboy fan but to be honest it hasn't been much of a rivalry lately. We have been kicking the crap out of the Redskins for the last 8 years. Even with Washington's best coach ever they were under .500 to the Cowboys. Bring back Gibbs, Thiesmen, Monk or whoever you have to find to make this rivalry a rivalry again!

Yer right on that one..and it's Theisman. I only know cuz I eat at his restaurant :)

Gibb's great secret wasn't that he whupped up on the good teams..which the Cowboys were. His secret was that he almost never lost to a bad or mediocre team and played .500 with the good teams. That always got him into the playoffs.

Once he got into the playoffs his coaching ability and a little bit of good fortune carried him to the SB.

"11-12 versus the Cowboys"? I'll take it! ...in a New York second!

One of my happiest Redskin memories is Dexter Manley knocking the snot out of Danny White (Landry's QB) and then watching Def.lineman Frank Grant running the ball into the endzone and spiking the ball...thereby putting the proverbial stake in the heart ...propeling the Skins to their Superbowl win over Shula.That was Gibb's second year of coaching...and the fact that it fell in the strike shortened season made no difference to me...sort of made up for that debacle in Dallas when the Cowboys knocked the Skins out of the NFC title game and spurred Riggins "retirement".This may be ancient history to the younger crowd here...but Gibbs kept the Skins consistently in the hunt....4 Superbowl APPEARANCES...3 WINS.
