Three in nine seasons \u2013 and no one remembers. Except me and\u00a0Joe Gibbs.<\/h2>\n<p>For an unknown reason, NFL history has robbed\u00a0the Redskins dynasty of the 1980s and early 90s of the recognition it deserves. But the real question is, why?<\/p>\n<p>NFL fans\u00a0remember the Packers championship teams of the 60s, the Steelers of the 70s, the 49ers of the 80s, the Cowboys of the 90s, and the Patriots of the present day. But no one remembers the Joe Gibbs-led Redskins.<span id=\"more-1879\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>From 1982 to 1991, the Redskins appeared in four Super Bowls and won three of those games. And in each game, they won with a different starting quarterback and a different starting running back.<\/p>\n<p>Not content with one of the most successful coaching careers in NFL history, Gibbs created his\u00a0Joe Gibbs Racing NASCAR team in 1992. The team has won\u00a0four Sprint Cup championships since 2000 with stud drivers like Bobby Labonte,\u00a0Tony Stewart, and Kyle Busch.<\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0spoke to Coach Gibbs about flourishing in both sports, the upcoming Daytona 500, his relationship with Jack Kent Cooke, and why he thinks his success with the Redskins has been largely ignored.

It\u2019s almost like you\u2019ve lived two different lives, really. What\u2019s it been like for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I realize I\u2019m one of the most fortunate people in the world. Because rarely does anybody get to have a dream as an occupation, and I\u2019ve had two of them. It\u2019s a thrill for me. I know how fortunate I am and I appreciate being a part of two great sports.<\/p>\n<p>And what I\u2019ve found, is they are very similar, football and racing. Amazingly, they\u2019re almost exactly the same because it\u2019s what? It\u2019s people. It\u2019s picking people, putting them on a team and getting them to sacrifice their individual goals for the goals of the team. It\u2019s teamwork. And that\u2019s a big part of life. I\u2019m thrilled to be a part of the M&amp;M\u2019S team and it\u2019s a thrill for us to race in a place like the Daytona 500 this Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can you talk about (former Redskins and Lakers owner) Jack Kent Cooke and what it was like to work with him?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Cooke I think was a great owner, and for this reason: Many times he had a strong opinion. He\u2019d stick that finger out and say, \u201cYou need to do\u00a0<em>this<\/em>.\u201d But what he always said before I left the meeting was, \u201cBut it\u2019s gotta be your decision; you decide.\u201d Many times, if I did something and it turned out to be he was correct, he\u2019d definitely let me hear about it. But Mr. Cooke always said to me, \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s gotta be your decision; you make the decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The other thing about Mr. Cooke, he was always at his best when things were at their worst. He would come in, he would visit me, I figured he was going to be upset when we\u2019d be going through a bad streak of losses and he would say to me, \u201cHey Joe, we\u2019re going up and we\u2019re going down together.\u201d He had a favorite saying: \u201cI\u2019m going to lay down and bleed a while, and then we\u2019re gonna get up and fight again.\u201d He was special, I think, for me, just like Dan Snyder was the second go-around for me. I had two great owners.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It just occurs to me that the Skins dynasty doesn\u2019t get the props it really deserves. Why do you think that is the case historically?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I\u2019m glad that you mention that because I feel strongly about that. And I think you\u2019re right. We went to four Super Bowls in 11 years. And we had great players; I think that more of our players should be in the Hall of Fame. You\u2019re right, for some reason that era gets left out. Obviously, the 49ers were in there, the Giants\u2026 there were some other real good teams. But I feel just like you, you voiced the opinion, which I agree with. What it takes to be able to get to a Super Bowl, and to do it four times, that says a lot about our ownership, our front office and our players. So, I agree with you and I appreciate you bringing it up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Well, I\u2019ve thought about this probably more than I should\u2019ve, but it\u2019s almost like the legacy is punished because of your versatility. You\u2019ve got three different quarterbacks that you won a Super Bowl with, three different starting running backs. Defense has a couple of stalwarts, but there\u2019s a lot of personal changes there as you\u2019d expect over an 11-year period. Do you think the success you had with so many personnel changes has been detrimental in hindsight, if that is even a possibility?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, you bring up an interesting point. I\u2019ve never looked at it that way. But I think we had a lot of those players that went to two, three, four Super Bowls. And I think that for that period of time, we did have three different quarterbacks. But I think that says a lot about the surrounding players we had with them and those three guys. People always say, \u201cHey, you won three Super Bowls with three quarterbacks.\u201d What they leave out is three\u00a0<em>great<\/em>quarterbacks. You got\u00a0Joe Theismann, you\u2019ve got\u00a0Doug Williams, and you\u2019ve got\u00a0Mark Rypien. I mean, those guys were special; we had special players. But I appreciate you bringing it up this morning, you made me feel good! Okay? Because I think we need more attention on what we were able to accomplish, that team, in that 11-year period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It\u2019s a travesty to me, and I\u2019m not even a Skins fan! I\u2019m an NFL history guy!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I appreciate that, believe me! You\u2019ve shown that you\u2019re very knowledgeable about the Redskins, I\u2019ll say that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re credited with inventing\u00a0the single back offensive set. Can you talk about the first day you implemented it at practice? How did it come to be?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think that\u2019s real interesting and you bring up a great point. We were with the Chargers and we drafted\u00a0Kellen Winslow\u00a0\u2014 great tight end \u2014 and we found that when we put him on the line of scrimmage where you normally put a tight end, they would hammer him with two linebackers and it made it hard for him to get off the line of scrimmage. So we started thinking about it and we said, \u201cHey, look, let\u2019s take him off the line of scrimmage, okay, and let him move back and forth. And as a consequence, let\u2019s take out a fullback, let\u2019s put one running back back there, and let him play h-back. So we could actually have a tight end, get\u00a0Kellen Winslow\u00a0moving around, and there, we actually wound up with a one back set. And that\u2019s kind of how it all evolved.<\/p>\n<p>It started with Kellen and then when we came to the Redskins, we had a problem trying to block the outside linebacker from the Giants, if you remember that guy\u00a0(laughing). We said, \u201cHey, we can\u2019t block him with a tackle, what can we do?\u201d Let\u2019s put a tight end in front of him. So again, our h-back served a real purpose. If you go over and put an h-back in front of\u00a0Lawrence Taylor, you make him at least now rush around that tight end and we\u2019ve got a chance now to at least block him. And so, there were different reasons to go for it. Basically, it started with Kellen, then we kind of developed the one back set and it was very productive for us and allowed us to have a lot of formations, too. So it was an evolution, but I can tell you\u2019re a real football guy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The last question I have is about you personally. How much of your success has been attributed directly to your will? And also, as you\u2019ve increased your skill in life, have you noticed that life sort of accommodates by demanding more of you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think for me, it\u2019s been all about team. It\u2019s been about people. I like people. And it\u2019s being able to recruit them, put them together in a group and ask them to sacrifice themselves and their individual goals for the goals of the team. So, it\u2019s been about people. And so I look back at my life\u2026 it\u2019s interesting you ask me that\u2026 I think a lot about all the people and the relationships I\u2019ve had. And that to me is the real thrill. And most of it, when you\u2019re in sports, a lot of it has to do with the tough times. You go through tough times and losses, practices, all the hard work on the field, and that\u2019s what kind of binds everybody together. And then you\u2019re hoping that you can kind of capture that feeling and wind up winning a Super Bowl. And that\u2019s hard to do. So, I\u2019ve been thrilled to be around the right people, that\u2019s the best way for me to put it. And with the right ownership and front office, and those assistant coaches, our coaching staff had a lot to do with our success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How many Super Bowls have the Washington Redskins won?

I\u2019ve done stand-up comedy, I'm a dad, former youth soccer club President, and former team statistician for the oldest indoor football team in the world, the Omaha Beef. I\u2019ve married six couples in 10 years and my Marriage to Still Married ratio is 6:6. I always say, it isn\u2019t so much about the \u201clove,\u201d as it is the tasteless jokes that became vows. \u00a0 I started the I-80 Sports Blog to have all the work I've published located in one place and to write about things I want to write about.
