I watched the special on coach the other day and I have to say I expected better. It was refreshing to see how they did have some of the former players like Green and Bostic discuss how great he was, but there was a lot left unsaid. I am not as disappointed as DP44 was over in the Random Thought thread, but I did expect a little more.
I enjoyed seeing them use Bill Walsh and Bill Parcell discuss him. Walsh called him the greatest game planner, and Parcells flat out called him the best coach he'd ever coached against.
I did not enjoy seeing the producers gloss over his achievements, they only gave brief mention to the critical factors, 3 SB's with 3 different QB's, and the 91 team was perhaps one of the best overall teams ever assembled.
I did not enjoy watching them make Gibbs look stupid on the sideline with Greg Williams instructing him on the current logistics of the game in his 2nd comeback, i.e., throwing a challenge flag in a critical situation, though they did mention he took the team to 2 playoff appearances in 4 years. He got blood from turnips with Todd Collins as the QB!!!
(Side Note: Dan Snyder was a ****ing idiot for not handing the team over to Williams instead of giving it to Zorn)
And I am not as upset about the emphasis on Coach's success in NASCAR, it shows how adaptable the man is.
Overall, I think the poroducers did just an average job on this one, the Sean Taylor and John Riggins specials were much better. But how do you really capture the best coach of all time in one 60 minute segment?
