The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have seen many people leave and go on to bigger and better things, and coach Joe Gibbs might be one of the biggest.
It was their third season in existence and a new franchise record for wins since the Buccaneers won a total of two games in the two years prior., John McKay was three seasons into a nine-year run as the head coach of the franchise and Joe Gibbs was in his one and only year as the team's offensive coordinator and running backs coach.
Three years later, in 1981, Gibbs would become the head coach in Washington and would go on to win three Super Bowls there and become the eighth-best head coach in NFL history according to a recent top 10 list by 33rd Team.Oct 7, 2007; Landover, MD, USA; Washington Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs during pre-game warmups before the start of the game against the Detroit Lions at FedEx Field in Landover, MD.
"Gibbs has one fewer career win than John Harbaugh over the same number of seasons, but that completely undersells the impact he had as Washington’s coach. During his first 12-year run with Washington, his teams finished with fewer than eight wins just once, a 7-9 season in 1988, and that includes an 8-1 record in the strike-shortened 1982 season," saysin his column ranking the top 10 NFL head coaches of all-time.
One of the quarterbacks Gibbs set that record with is none other than Williams himself. Years after Gibbs was the only coach to work Williams out in the pre-draft process, he was the only one to come calling in 1986 when the quarterback was in search of a new football opportunity. The two reunited in Washington that year, and in the 1987 season, they won a Super Bowl. It was Gibbs' second and Williams's only one.David Harrison has been in sports media since 2015 using written, audio, and video media to cover athletes, coaches, and games.
