Gibbs, Parcells: A lot alike, a lot different

Joe Gibbs and Bill Parcells will once again meet tonight when the Redskins play host to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. There are a lot of similarities between these two very successful coaches, yet there are a lot of differences also.
Both coaches know a lot about football. They are both smart enough to surround themselves with other coaches that also know what they're doing. Both coaches are also 63 years old and each has suffered from different health problems. Gibbs and Parcells both retired from the game of football with Super Bowl victories under their belts, only to return after realizing they couldn't go without it. However, that is about where the similarities end. Parcells seems to be the coach who will let you know when you've done something wrong. "...he's going to get in your face, point, bring you to the stage and let everybody know," said Redskins guard Randy Thomas who played for Parcells in New York. Whereas Gibbs will pull a player aside and let him know what he is doing wrong and what he needs to do about it. Parcells is 11-6 against Gibbs and is looking to add one more notch in the Win column tonight, but Gibbs isn't going to make it that easy.
