Some very important people like Christine Brennan.\\nChristine Brennan in studio during Our Town interviewChristine Brennan on Joe Gibbs\\nChristine Brennan:\\tI think you can make the case; the greatest coach in NFL history. I know that\'s saying a lot.\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tHe\'s got a record that proves that.\\nChristine Brennan:\\tThree Superbowls, three different quarterbacks.\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tThree different teams.\\nChristine Brennan:\\tRight. Not one of those quarterbacks will ever make the hall of fame.\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tI understand that.\\nChristine Brennan:\\tYeah, Joe Theismann, Doug Williams.\\nAndy Ockershausen:\\tDon\'t tell Theismann that.\\nChristine Brennan:\\tIt\'s our secret. Don\'t tell him. Joe, if you\'re listening, sorry pal. But Doug Williams and then Mark Rypien. Three different quarterbacks, not a one of them is good enough to be in the hall of fame and Joe Gibbs wins Superbowls with all three including two strike years. The coach is amazing and to deal with, on the record, he\'d get mad about something, he\'d call me at home angry about a headline, I said, "Joe, coach," I\'d call him coach, "I don\'t write the headlines." He goes, "I know, I know, will you bring the guy that writes the headlines out here one day and let me talk to him?" You know, like there was one guy writing the headlines, there was probably fifteen people writing headlines. But we\'d have this conversation,'
