Age as a factor?

[SKINS73]

I know that I'm not the only one who has thought of this... time for me to play devil’s advocate. While I'm as excited as the next Redskin fan about the Gibbs return, is there anyone else who is concerned with his age? Do you honestly think he will renew his contract after it expires? Take a look around at other older coaches. I am a diehard Penn State football fan, and while Joe Paterno is a coaching legend I believe his age has played a role in his decision making capabilities - we have since fallen from the elite of college football teams. No one is going to tell Joe Pa to step down. What if the same happens here in Washington? Remember Landry's last days in Dallas? Remember the old, "I thought it was third down." line when he called a play for a run up the middle on 4th and 9? Don't get me wrong. I think Gibbs will bring glory back to Washington, but how long will he be around before we're playing musical coaches again? There really aren’t any young assistants to take the helm. Even if a good assistant emerges Snyder will just dig deep to get the coach with the most recognizable name. Just my two cents… Ok, I am ready for my thrashing.
