drnykterstein Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 He did assist moon in that comeback game. Who wouldn't thank Gilbride for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 My opinion of Warren Moon just slipped a few notches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLocke Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I think killdrive was a good coordinator at one time. He was a run and shoot coordinator who couldn't adapt to the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Gilbride is a typical one trick pony. He was able to put together a great offense when he was given a ton of talent but as it is with most guys, he was unable to make the necessary adjustments when he didn't have the personnel to play "his" offense. Kept trying to put the square peg in the round hole, if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I didn't hear the speech. Did he mention them in the context of having fresh towels and cold water for him when he hit the sidelines in practice or a game? That's important stuff...proper hydration and a good, dry, germ free towel can never be underestimated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbride wasn't the worst coordinator in the history of the sport, but his stubbornness and inability to adapt killed many an offense (hence the nickname Killdrive).

MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Moon's probably thanking Gilbride for taking that sucker-punch from Buddy Ryan instead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to look at his tenures in San Diego, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo - places where the offenses had similiar issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coughlin was the HC in Jax -- not exactly a "chuck and duck" proponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
