I know this guy has the same name and Social Security Number but as a coach he's just not the same guy. He's older and mellower and has given the most important aspects of the job to Al Saunders. The old Joe Gibbs would never have done that.

His age certainly isn't helping him these days, which is just how it is. I wish he was still running the offense, but he probably just doesn't have the energy he did in his coaching prime. I still would take Gibbs over most any other coach, still. I think he proved last season that he still has it, and after he gave the team a tongue lashing before the Carolina game the team responded. Don't judge the man based on the three losing seasons he's had, look at the 12 winning season's he's had. Fact of the matter is, Gibbs is a victim of his own success, he's just held to a different standard than almost every one else.

I said in a prior post that Gibbs in the 80s was a great coach. Gibbs in 2006 is at best a mediocre coach. In the history of the NFL Gibbs will go down as a great coach but in the NFL of 2007 there are a lot of other coaches I'd rather have. Now the question becomes would those coaches I'd prefer over Gibbs actaully fare better than Gibbs in the Redskins screwed-up organization? I'm not sure.

The final chapter of Joe Gibbs coaching career with the Redskins hasn't been written yet. I still think he's got one more Super Bowl run in him to be honest. Coming off this season you may think I'm crazy or ignorant to say that, but I truly believe it.

He better start that run soon because his contract is almost complete and he's not going to extend it.
