I really really want him to give a big FU to the fans when he leaves. "You kept saying for two decades 'if ony we had Gibbs' Well guess what? I came back and from day one all you people did was bitch and moan. Could I have done better? Of course I could have. But I've taken the blame for everything even when I could have and probably should have thrown others under the bus. Enough is enough. Go bitch and moan about someone else"

I'd pay money to see that.

Its not as though Gibbs personally reads these threads and takes offense to the whining. Aspirational assumption as a moderator of this site, but ultimately, incorrect.

Nor for that matter does he read Tom Boswell's columns. He probably does have a finger on the pulse of the fans and senses a lot of disappointed fans, but still largely sees a group that holds him in high esteem.

I'd pay money to see a reporter rip him at a post-game press conf for a change.

I know for a fact he's much more aware of what people say about him on blogs and fan sites than he would let on.

I agree. I remember a while back people started creating avatars on other boards with Gibbs pissing on the dallas star. A person with connections to the team told them that Gibbs had seen it and hated it. How would he have known about it if he hadn't been exposed to it in some way?

As to your comment about Gibbs giving an FU to the fans, I was thinking the same thing last night. He seems to just be stuck in this "damned if you do and damned if you don't" mentality with some fans right now. He deserves better.
