Not a cut, but Seahawks OL coach Alex Gibbs has resigned from the team!
Suppose he isn't a USC player
WHOA.
That is IMMENSE.
Alex Gibbs has had more of a Championship impact than the VAST majority of HEAD Coaches who've ever donned an HeadSet.

Needless to say: That list is very subjective.
ALL Super Bowls have enough credit to around...
- But in my opinion, **** LeBeau was THE difference in the Steelers winning it all under BOTH Head Coaches.
- Mike Shanahan doesn't get ANYTHING done without Alex Gibbs.
- And Tom Coughlin's best 2 teams ~ the 1999 Jaguars and the 2007 Giants ~ exploded under the fresh leadership of Dom Capers and Steve Spagnuolo, respectively.

...And that number just got reduced from 9 to 7, as I see it!!
He's not sure, but the name rings a bell.
Okay, I can see your point. As you noted the list is very subjective. Personally I would have given Belichick credit at least for the SB win over Buffalo in Tampa (Norwood wide right) when the Bills were heavily favored and their offense was considered unstoppable. A game plan in which you plan on letting the opposing running back run for 100 yards must have seemed crazy at the time to the players on the Giants' defense, but it worked.VERY good point, which one I seriously considered.
My notion was to only give ONE "Credit" per Super Bowl, if you will, and Coach Bill I was such a demonstrably leading factor in those Championships ~ like Bill Walsh and Joe Gibbs ~ that I attribute them to HIM...But you've got a VERY strong argument, considering that the NEXT Super Bowl that Coach Bill I wins, without Coach Bill II The Vastly Superior Alternative by his side...will be the FIRST one!!
