Gibbs leaving? Not a chance

[BrunellMVP?]

while i'm not the biggest (current gibbs supporter), he can't leave. We are too close...he's drafted well, and he's putting together a team that will be VERY good, next season..one more great draft (and we have all our picks).

But it really doesn't matter does it? Suppose he had won four Super Bowls in five years here. All people will say is why didn't he win it that fifth year. There is absolutely nothing he can do to satisfy the fans. That much seems obvious by now. He could for just about any other fan base, but not ours.

whaaaat?! not true at all. I think the problem here is that those superbowls were a while ago, not even within the last decade. we had fallen into a rut with al these different coaches and quarterbacks and this and that and then all of a sudden Snyder brings in ol Joe. The hype was beyond belief, everyone in the DC area thought we were going back to our winning days.... well its been years later and we look like shit, still. We are still struggling just like we had right after he left. I am very greatful that this team has the history on its side, if not our fan base and this city might not even have a football team. The Redskins are the only team in DC that fans are really passionate about imo. But call it how you see it, and i dont see it getting any better. Gibbs will finish out his tenure here in style and next year i think we should be playoff contenders. I dont give Joe a break because of his history, and neither should anyone else. Now is now, thats what i think our fans need to understand.

Look like shit is an exaggeration in my opinion. But that's besides the point. What sort of threads do you think we would have seen today had we won today "Wow Reche is the man" "Campbell Has Arrived" "Gregg Williams is a Genius" etc.

There wouldn't have been any "Great Call by Gibbs" "Halftime Speech by Gibbs Fired Up Players" etc. I could be wrong, but I rarely if ever see any praise (for lack of a better word) for Gibbs after we win. I want him to stay and I think he will, but at the same time I want him to look out for himself. He deserves to be happy however he can, he owes us nothing more than what he has already given us in my opinion.
