Joe Gibbs is simply the greatest coach ever no other team won 3 SB with 3 different QBs.

Air Coryell had a couple of young guys working under him at San Diego State named Joe Gibbs and John Madden. I don’t know if some of you pups knew Madden used to be a coach.
Coryell also took a moribund St. Louis Cardinal franchise to the playoffs in 74 and 75 with his futuristic passing offense. Yes pups, the Cardinals were once in St. Louis. And in Chicago before that.
And that 81 playoff game down in Miami was as good as it gets. Ah, back when the NFL was real football. Not the watered down product they sell us today.

Nice comments from Gibbs. Any pics of him as a player? A reserve quarterback with bombsight specs?

RIP Coach, the early 80s Chargers were my first tastes of football and I’ve been hooked ever since.
