"Here's the number that really matters to me: (Bill) Cowher and Joe Gibbs have each coached 15 regular seasons. Cowher's teams won 149 games in his 15 years. Gibbs' teams won 145 in his."Not to be a hard-on about it, but NFL players' strikes during the 1982 and '87 seasons cost Gibbs a chance to coach in eight regular-season games. Seeing how Gibbs' Washington Redskins won the Super Bowl in both shortened seasons, doesn't it sound like a fair bet Gibbs would have made up those four wins if those teams had played a full 16-game schedule?
Washington went 8-1 in 1982 and 11-4 in '87, so the answer is yes.... credit Bill Cowher, the Pittsburgh Steelers coach, for having sustained success in the era of the salary cap, but please think of a more intelligent way to express that thought.
