Re: Gibbs Perfect Coach For Taylor Situation
 

Gibbs has never had to deal with something like this, but I can't imagine anyone that I'd prefer given the circumstances.

BTW, I heard about Rock Cartright openly weeping when he walked to the parking lot yesterday after getting the news of the shooting. Gibbs talks about "True Redskins", and I really believe that what he's talking about is the love of team and teammates that Rock openly demonstrated there. Along with Gibbs, this team needs the Rock Cartrights and the James Thrashes to help get through this dark chapter.

[QUOTE=SmootSmack;384170]Well there is no doubt in my mind now that Gibbs will return now next year to lead this franchise.

[B]The Redskins need Gibbs more than ever now, but I've never wanted him less [/B](if that makes any sense)[/QUOTE]

How so?

Well I mean we always talk about what a great man and leader Gibbs is. And I hear it all the time from people I deal with in NASCAR and with his racing team. If anyone can guide an organization through tragedy it's Gibbs. But I wish we didn't need this to remind us all of what a great man and leader Gibbs is. I wish it was just the 5-6 record we had to worry about him leading us out of.

I think what SS is saying, and yes I'm speaking on his behalf:), is that on one hand Gibbs is probably best suited to strike the balance of preparing the team for football and mourning Taylor's death, but on the other hand who wants to see Joe Gibbs work what could be his strongest trait under these circumstances?

Agree 100%. I'm not a religious person at all. Not even sure if I believe in God. But it is, at the least, strange to see someone with certain gifts put in the exact situation where those gifts are needed. Really makes you think.

[QUOTE=artmonkforhallofamein07;384228]As a man who has recently found his faith and that God puts us in situations HE needs us to be in at times. I belive you are right. There is no other coach who I would rather have right now, and to expound on this I do not think Joe will be leaving any time soon. He needs to be with this team. They are his guys and so was Sean. My prayers are with you all.[/QUOTE]

I echo exactly what you said. We don't always understand, like or appreciate God's plans for us, but we put our faith in believing in Him for our lives.

To also echo what Matty said, this very well could be the reason Gibbs is back, to guide the franchise through this tough time. I was thinking about the other options when Gibbs came back, Spurrier, Dennis Green, etc. and I don't think they have the complete package of faith, respect, leadership and character that Gibbs can provide at at time like this.

Re: Gibbs Perfect Coach For Taylor Situation
 

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;384097]I really believe Gibbs came back for a reason. Perhaps this is that reason.[/QUOTE]


Couldn't help but think that when watching Gibbs' press conference. I'm sure our next home game will be a heavy one.

Wow. I've heard him that sort of stuff about Gibbs before but it never felt so powerful as it did just now.

As I listened to Gibbs today, I just got the feeling he is not going to come back. He started talking about life and his family and grandbabies. And you could see he was fighting back tears. He's 67 and in the latter years of his life. He's such a family man and I think after seeing this it's going to push him into wanting to spend time with his own family. And I can't blame him.

Like I've always maintained, Gibbs can do whatever he wants. And let's not forget he's going through this entire season with his 2-year old grandson battling leukemia.

Jeez, I'd forgotten about that.

This summer, My 16 yr old Daughter was mis-diagnosed with Leukemia, for 36 hours, and that was pure hell and it turned out she DIDN'T have it.

Can't imagine going through it with a 2 yr old.

And now trying to lead 50 plus guys through this.



J-dawg.
