Over the course of 16 seasons, Gibbs guided the team to an impressive nine playoff appearances, securing four NFC Championship titles, and clinching three Super Bowl victories.
Gibbs received the NFL Coach of the Year award in both 1982 and 1983. He holds the unique distinction of being the only head coach to have won Super Bowls with three different starting quarterbacks. In 1992, he and his family established the NASCAR team called Joe Gibbs Racing. Since then, the team has achieved the remarkable feat of winning five NASCAR championships. In 1996, Gibbs was honored with induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Then, in 2020, he received another prestigious recognition when he was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
