The Most Underrated Coach in NFL History. 

Gibbs is by far and away the BEST NFL Coach in the history of the game. In 1979, as O-coordinator of the San Diego Chargers...Gibbs coached his trio of receivers each over 1,000 yards, all in the same season. To date, he's the only coach to accomplish this. Gibbs' 1983 SB Redskin team broke the league scoring record and produced season MVP, Joe Theismann. Gibbs' 1991 SB Redskin Team broke the league scoring record AGAIN! Gibbs has produced two SB rushing champions...John Riggins (1982) and Timmy Smith (1987), who still holds the Super Bowl rushing record present day. Gibbs is the ONLY Coach in NFL history to win three SB titles with (3) different QB's (record setting performance by Doug Williams) and also (3) different RB's. Remember Gibbs' Redskin teams had to go through the Lawrence Taylor led NY Giants, The Doomsday Defense of Dallas and the Buddy Ryan led Philadelphia Eagles with a young killer named Reggie White. Finally, Gibbs accomplished feat after feat...record after record behind the greatest O-line the game has ever seen. HONESTLY...ask yourself, could the other so-called great coaches in the league who had the privilege of winning with top Hall of Fame players...could they have won with any of Gibbs' rosters? Gibbs certainly would have won with any of their rosters

He sure as hell isn’t forgotten in DC. He’s a legend in the northeast.

Joe Gibbs also had decent success with the Redskins in the 00's as well. The roster didn't have household names besides Clinton Portis & Sean Taylor & London Fletcher, but 2 playoff seasons in 2005 & 2007 is really solid.

And as we know, Joe Gibbs has used the very same philosophy he brought to Washington to his 3-decade run in NASCAR, where he's won everything that sport has to offer more than once, including five championships in NASCAR's top series with three different drivers (Bobby Labonte in 2000, Tony Stewart in 2002 and 2005, and Kyle Busch in 2015 and 2019), and four Daytona 500s (one of which was his first NASCAR win in 1993) with two other drivers (Dale Jarrett in 1993 and Denny Hamlin in 2016, 2019-'20), and who's organization remains one of the most dominant in the sport, which combined with his success over 16 seasons as an NFL head coach, is why he's one of the very few individuals inducted in two major professional sports' Halls of Fame.

I've been a Redskins fan since 1971 and Yes Mr. Gibbs is not only one of the best Coaches the walk the Sidelines he's also a Successful Race Car owner. Let's face it, he's a Winner and a Great Man.

In the 87 strike season Gibbs did two notable things -- win all of his games with the replacement players, while at the same time getting his regulars guys to hang together and not cross the picket line. That is a hard needle to thread.

You didn’t mention Gibbs also used three different running backs. Riggins, Timmy Smith, and Ervins and Byner. It really is impressive to win with three sets of QBs and three sets of RBs.

This video was fantastic. These teams were the team of my childhood.

Although he never won a super bowl, George Allen was also underrated in my opinion. 😊

I would put him in the top 5, not because I am a Redskins fan. But I look at it this way. He not only developed the teams, he was pretty much the GM. Until he un retired he never had a below .500 team. That's awesome and often forgotten.

Don't say "sorry" when you mention the name Redskins. That was the team name. Don't be soft. That said, good vid. Thumbs up.

I think Bill Parcells should know. Remember that he too coached a team to two Super Bowl wins in that era. He said that of all the teams he faced, the Redskins under Gibbs were the best coached and best prepared.

Redskins never died just different name he was a great coach and a great human a legend in the DMV area HTTR!

underrated meaning the best. ok i agree. 3 super bowls with 3 different Qb's, underrated .

Gibbs is also the only person in both the NFL and NASCAR hall of fames

I remember the 91 season very well, attended both playoff games at RFK stadium, one of the most memorable moments I've ever experienced in sports, near the end of the Falcons game Redskins scored a touchdown which pretty much sealed the game, I was screaming with joy, the place was in total pandemonium, the weather was horrible, rain, sleet and cold the entire game, the stadium was kind enough to give everyone a yellow seat cushion before the game with the Redskins logo, when Redskins scored the game clinching touchdown seat cushions flew! I kept mine though, one of my favorite pieces of memorabilia, thank God I saved it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0eUG9lSx8XQ.html

Coach Joe Gibbs was a Real Redskins i was Born in Washington D.C and i have Redskins blood in me

I extremely appreciate you making this video. These coaches don't get enough credit

Gibbs went on to herd several successful Nascar teams. Can't say I aways liked his drivers but the man was an awesome owner.

U just made my day

Outstanding. Please send this video to Josh Harris the new owner of the Washington commanders/Redskins. Also send one to Magic Johnson and the others in the ownership. Tell him we want our name back. We are the Washington Redskins. Joe Gibbs is the greatest coach whoever comes and we also would like to hire a coach Jim Harbaugh Michigan and drat Marvin Harrison Junior. hail to the Redskins hell victory.

A couple more of Joe Gibbs amazing feats....Gibbs and the Redskins currently have a 2 - 0 record against the Cowboys in the NFC Conference Championship games to advance to the Super Bowl. During the NFL's strike year...Gibbs coached a 100% replacement team to victory over the starting players of the Cowboys...in Dallas. Gibbs is a winner on all fronts

Great video. Gibbs has always been underrated because he never had a Brady, Montana, or Aikman to run the offense. Also, people always say he won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different QBs. But he also had 3 different RBs. Riggins, Timmy Smith, and Earnest Byner.

Hail to the Redskins! That ‘91 team brought the🔥

I am a Cowboys fan since 1973. Before his retirement/comeback, Joe Gibbs was outstanding. No other coach of made better half-time adjustments than a Joe Gibbs coaching staff. I have nothing but respect for Joe Gibbs.

Please don't apologize for saying Washington Redskins, it was by far the most popular team with American Indians.

Please never apologize for calling them the Redskins. They're always going to be the Redskins to all of us true fans.

Great video and props for recognizing one of the great coaches in sports history. It's worth noting that the '83 Redskins were probably (next to '07 Pats) the best tram to not win a suoerbowl. That was in large part thanks to Joe Gibbs brilliance.

Joe Gibbs is a legend at NFL & NASCAR

@Section Trev, this is my first listen and I want to give you mad respect for acknowledging HC Joe Gibbs. As a Redskin fan since 1981 I don’t feel Gibbs get enough acknowledgment and respect from the younger era fans and the NFL and by you spending your time to make this video means a lot to a old timer like me, oh, the memories that this video brought back 🍻🍻. I did like your video and subscribed to your channel, keep doing video on teams from the 80ies and you will find more old heads like me following you 💯🔥💨

Gibbs was not underrated but , just maybe not as praised as the other greats. They never show us no love but it’s #HTTR forever

Great video. Another one I'd nominate to at least be in the discussion is Weeb Ewbank. The guy won three championships with two different teams (Colts and Jets) and yet when people discuss the Jets' Super Bowl, it's constant talk about Joe Namath (and deservedly so), but almost no one mentions the coach who actually brought them there. Anyway, I was always partial to Gibbs. He's a great guy.

I wish I was alive for those glory days

Love and miss coach Gibbs; Hail to the Redskins!

Gibbs also had a little "magic" to him. Three instances come to mind: Naming Timmy Smith as the running back in the Super bowl at the last minute (and he still holds the rushing record!), deciding to keep Doug Williams at the last minute after he had seemingly negotiated trading him to the Raiders, and switching from Schroeder to Williams after the last game of the regular season. He was also a superb game adjuster. Many times I remember him adjusting after halftime to get the offense going and then winning the game. Also, introducing the use of another tight end to handle the impossible load of Lawrence Taylor. This later became a staple of the Redskins offense and added a powerful new dimension to it. Finally, a good argument can be made that the 91 Redskins are the best team ever. Certainly on offense they were incomparable. The combination of passing (deep, middle or long -- to wide receivers or running backs or tight ends) and very solid running with Earnest Byner, who was a super, all-around back (as well as the sold contributions of Riggs and Earvins) behind the incomparable Hogs, and the best long-ball passer of his time -- Rypien. On defense they actually shut out three teams that year, and in the playoffs' they totally dominated their opponents.

Since Joe Gibbs retirement after the 1992 season, the Redskins only won 2 playoff games. One in 1999 under Norv Turner and the second one is Joe Gibbs AGAIN in 2005 in his second return as head coach.

Yes he is the most unrated coach in football. He my favorite coach and will always be my favorite coach. Wish he would buy the Commanders, but I know his age not going to allow that. God bless you Joe Gibbs 🙏 ♥️

Joe Gibbs knew how too use his players to win games and was a no nonsense guy and coached Doug Williams before and got the best out of his players 👏

I think the strike shortened seasons are what cause many to not pay him the same respects that they give to Lomardi, Landry, Walsh, Belichick, etc. On one hand I see their point, the strike shortned seasons did lead to fewer games being played and the quality of play was lowered by the scabs. But at the same time, it is commendable that he was able to keep his team together amidst the 2 strikes. He's a great coach for sure.

Joe Gibbs by far is one of the best football coaches in the NFL ever look what they did before him and look what he did after him. We need another coach like he was.

I literally cringed when you apologized for saying REDSKINS.

I'd honestly say Gibbs is the best coach ever, because his winning ways didn't just stay in the NFL. After he left the NFL in the early 90s, he built a NASCAR team from scratch, which as of writing this on Dec 30, 2022, has 4 Daytona 500 wins (1994, 2016, 2019, & 2020), and 5 NASCAR Cup Series championships (2000, 2002, 2005, 2015, & 2019). About 30 years after Joe Gibbs Racing was created, JGR is still the first or second strongest NASCAR team, which is why I dont think its far fetched to say that Joe Gibbs is the best coach in the history of sports. And by the way, this is coming from someone who's NFL team is the Cowboys, and NASCAR drivers are Tony Stewart (who left Gibbs to race for his own team after the 2008 season) and Kyle Larson (who drives for Gibbs main rival)

Yes, Restepa!

I continue to await the video that lays out WHY Gibbs was a winner, and in the face of that winning quality, people somehow still just don't appreciate him. When this is done people will know what is underrated about him. I would guess part of a his success is due to getting a important Cadre of assistantts who regularly got the players prepared for the next game. then he had an ability to inspire his players and get there by in part because his commitment to the success of the team was greater than what he asked of his players. And then there was his disarming and basic almost humble Style, which is disarming, which allows his players to be more open to him, and in turn allow his subtle influence to permeate their commitment and work ethic if what I say is true there must be players who would hold forth on the personal influence he had over them. That would be an interesting video!

Def then that background music wayyyy down bro. I can’t hear anything youre saying. I’ll give you a sub though, seems like you enjoy yourself making these! Best of luck!

Washington fan 52 years Washington fans no how great Gibbs is ironically the redskin team that lost to the raiders in the the Superbowl were at that point in time the highest scoring team ever in NFL history for a single season shame we couldn't win that Superbowl Joe would be on mount Rushmore

It is all subjective of course - however Joe Gibbs is the greatest head coach in NFL history IMO - he beat a cowboys team with multiple hall of famers with scabs and the 1991 team was the most dominant in league history to win the SB

3 different QB's, 3 Different running backs, and 3 different place kickers, 3 different punters, 3 different starting SS, and 3 different starting FS. Art Monk and Don Warren, and Jim Lachey, started all 3 Superbowl's

Amazing video LETSGOREDSKINS

As a redskins fam i just WISH we were still good man. My whole life of 23years old we only had one good year and that was RG3 rookie year. Ever since it’s just been depressing

Those redskins teams Gibbs coached in the mid 2000s were so devoid of talent, that he got them to the playoffs twice in 4 seasons and had one of the better defenses in that time is nothing short of a miracle.

Joe Gibbs is not only the greatest coach in NFL history, but the greatest coach in sports history. He's a winner at 2 different sports, and was able to win multiple Super Bowls with multiple QBs, none of which are in the HOF. THAT will never be duplicated.

I would emphasize the fact that all those other coaches had Hall of Fame QBs and none of our three are in the Hall of Fame. That's what makes him the best ever!

If anyone still has one of those classic Redskins sweaters that Joe Gibbs & staff had its a collectable.. & it worth a good amount & Same with Bears 1984 85 sweaters..

Notice they didn't mention noll? 4 SB championships and he doesn't get mentioned among the greatest coaches? Talk about underrated and totally disrespectful.

Good video! You should get into journalism.

Gibbs won 3 super bowls with a team that traded away many first day draft picks. It was a team of rejects. Notice how few are in the HOF although I can think of some that belong but never made it. He coached Riggins, Monk Grimm and Green. Other teams making it 4 SB’s in 10 years have many more.

REDSKINS. You can say it. And yes underrated and possibly the best to ever do it.

Could barely hear a thing other than the bizarre background music. Looked really interesting tho.

‘89 redskins were the first team to have three WRs have 1000 yards in one season.

Gibbs was the best. He won with teams that had few all stars outside of Grimm, Jacoby, Art Monk, Riggs and Darryl Green.

Did you apologize for calling the Redskins the Redskins😂 HTTR!!! 21 #Getskins

Maybe I'm bias but Joe Gibbs is the greatest coach in the NFL ever. He blowout the Broncos in the SB with a backup. Even when he came back to coach we had good teams

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

3 Super Bowls 3 Different QB’s The best coach of all time

Joe Gibbs def doesn't get enought recognition as he deserves. There has never been a coach to win 3 SB with 3 diff QB's

The Cardinals were in St. Louis at that time.

Actually, it was the St. Louis Cardinals back in the day.

Joe Gibbs had once said, "I would rather have 53 average players and build a great team than have a couple great players and only have an average team"

Should be the WARRIORS.. with a uni for each branch of our armed forces.. PLUS the old spear helmets could be the throwbacks & work perfectly with the Warriors name

Don’t ever apologize for calling them the Redskins. Don’t be surprised if the name and helmet returns 5 years from now

Cut back on the music...too loud

Media is why. Flashy sells and gives out cheap awards..and the beat goes on

Joe Gibbs is the greatest head coach in NFL history, no debate about it. Sure, Beleihick won 6 out of 9 Super Bowls, which is impressive for sure and the most championships of any coach, but he also had Brady, the GOAT at the helm. Brady proved what a legend he is by winning another Super Bowl with a different team. Other coaches won super bowls with HOF QBs like John Elway, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Troy Aikman, and Terry Bradshaw, all who won multiple championships in their career. Only Joe Gibbs won three out of four Super Bowls with three different QBs, none of them were future HOF selections. Gibbs’ star wasn’t any QB or even great running backs, with the exception of John Riggins. The stars for Gibbs was the greatest offensive line in NFL history. The only O-line that was able to help their running backs set the Super Bowl rushing record, with the last record still standing today. First John Riggins set the Super Bowl rushing record, which would be broke the next year by Marcus Allen. Timmy Smith broke Marcus Allen’s rushing record and Smith’s record still stands today, ever since 1988!. History proved that Smith wasn’t a great running back as he was cut from the team a year later and never did anything else of note in his short career. No, Smith rushed through holes that Joe Gibbs himself could have waltzed through. That same line allowed only 9 sacks for Mark Rypien in the entire 1991 season. Whether pass protection or opening huge holes for running backs, that offensive line over-powered defensive lines, many lines that had HOF linebackers and defensive ends and defensive backs, like Reggie White, Ronnie Lott, Mike SIngletery and Lawrence Taylor, to name a few. Washington knocked those 85’ Bears out of the playoffs two years in a row following their best season ever, holding legend Walter Peyton to some of the fewest yards in his entire career and both times at their home in Soldier Field. The real crime is that only one of the Hogs is in the HOF. Russ Grimm is the only Hog, so far, to be inducted. Jeff Boistic and Joe Jacoby played in all four super bowls with the Redskins. They only opened holes so large that Timmy Smith rushed for more than 200 yard against Denver. Jacoby seems like a no brainer for the HOF. But linemen are always overlooked by the Hall. Gibbs proved that any team that works together can beat even teams riddled with stars. The championship Redskins were the no-name players that won world championships. Winning the NFC East was not easy. The NFC East teams have the most super bowls than any other division in the NFL and most of those wins came in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. Only Philly has taken advantage of the crappy ownership of the Cowboys, Redskins and NY Giants to capture their first championships. If you include all Super Bowl appearances, no other division is anywhere near the NFC East. With 21 Super Bowl appearances and 13 wins, with a four year streak in 1991-94 the NFC East has been a powerhouse decade after decade, so Gibbs had that to contend with season after season. One reason the NFC East has so many championships is because just winning that division meant you were probably the best team in the league any given year. This teams really tested each other game after game. Having to [play any of these teams twice was quite a challenge for any coach. There are many reasons why Gibbs has proven he could win super bowls with great coaching alone, no star future HOF players necessary. That’s what makes a good coach. You can’t say that Gibbs had some Elway or Brady QB. He has too beat teams loaded with future HOF players and beat them with just great coaching and a dominant offensive line. What Gibbs and Brathard did during the player strike was worthy of a hollywood film. 'They had ten days to build a team and the games would count. The Redskins were the only team to have no players cross the picket line, but the replacement players went undefeated, even beating Dallas on Monday Night Football. Thy were playing against a Dallas team that had most of their star players playing that night, but the replacement Redskins team still beat them. That's coaching. Coach Gibbs was credited for keeping his players united and not cross the line. I was happy to see that the replacement plauyers finally got Super Bowl rings a few years ago. The only goos thing Snyder ever did. Doug WIlliams showed up to hand those players their rings.

You can say REDSKINS. It's OK. (They are the WASHINGTON REDSKINS) !!!!!

Not sure on underrated, Gibbs got into the HOF pretty fast vs Jimmy Johnson who had to wait almost 30 years after retirement to get in.

Underrated? I would say he's solidly rated. He's in the Hall of Fame! And don't bow to the woke mob and apologize for saying Washington Redskins when discussing the past...it is a factually accurate description of their name at that time.

He's not the most underrated. He's the great Head Coach of all time. He won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different, not too good QB's. Look at all the other legendary Head Coaches. What did they all have? A franchise QB. He never had one and his offenses were still at the top. He also won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different RBs. Riggins, Timmy Smith and Earnest Byne. That's what makes him the best. Just look at that 1991 Redskins team. That might be the best team of all time. The team that lost to the Raiders in the Super Bowl were beasts also. Don't know what happened in that game. It's very rare that Gibbs would be out coached.

Goddamnit there’s no justification for Jacoby not being in the Hall!!! He should have gone in before Grimm!!!! You put perpetually injured Tony Boselli in and Big Jake is still not in???!!!!! Complete BS!!!!

8:59 never close? It was 10-0 at the end of 1. Fans were concerned

The Super Bowl against Denver was never close? I can tell you are to young to remember any of this stuff. Going into the second quarter the Broncos had a 10-0 LEAD!!!!!!!

Gibbs

REDSKINSNATION stand up!!!

Underrated? He's in the Hall of Fame....

3 different Runningbacks too

George Starke

Apologize for calling the O-line Hogs, while you’re at it. You never know…some vegan may be offended.

He was a great coach, stop kissing his ass. He won a couple Superbowls, HOF credentials. Sean Payton, Tony Dungy, Gruden, etc won one so relax.

And then he left to go into racing.

you dont have to be sorry for saying redskins... look up the washington post poll to see how native americans REALLY felt about the name lol

“WASHINGTON REDSKINS”….

lol some of your info iz wrong

It's pronounced Shraider not Sroder.

STOP APOLOGIZING FOR SAYING REDSKINS! THE NAME REDSKINS IS NOT RACIST!

Underrated?

Who the hell is Melvin Jones? No original Hogs were called Melvin Jones. Fred Dean,Jeff Bostic,Joe Jacoby,Mark May, George Stark and Russ Grimm. Doc Walker was their tight end. Jay Schroder with an "A" not an "O".... good tribute otherwise 👏

3 different meh qbs...

He's a great guy and all but I see him as the most overrated coach in NFL history

What has Belichick achieved ever since Brady left Boston? Brady was always the brains on that team.
