Is Gibbs Getting His Mojo Back?

MTK · 12-28-2007, 10:52 AM

I've never understood people saying that he's lost his fire for coaching.

He didn't need to come back and put his legacy on the line for the Redskins. He was doing quite well in NASCAR, and he has a bust in Canton. He didn't come back for a paycheck, that's for damn sure.

I believe he will sign a 2 year extension after this season and he will continue working his ass off trying to get this ship back on course.

There are 3 things that should never be questioned with Joe Gibbs. His faith, his work ethic, and his leadership abilities.

That Wilbon column is great.

Joe definitely strives during adversity and with that calm attitude of his, he keeps the players focused.

Good article.

We really do have a lot of no-names out there right now.

This is a classic Gibbs team.

That was a great article. Sometimes I still have to pinch myself and remember that we won a SB with Mark Rypien.

I heart Mark Steven (Om). When it comes to writing about this team and bringing things into perspective, he is in a class by himself.

He's one of the few bright spots over there.

Very very true. I would never ever question any of these things w/ Gibbs. However I will question his game management skills the 2nd go around. But FINALLY, as we sit in year 4, it looks like he's gotten it figured out.

The lack of fire in his eyes is not a comment on his passion for coaching the skins and determination to turn us into a perennial winner. I don't doubt that he's still all about the latter two. Its about the confidence (without the arrogance) that he can accomplish what he wants to.

Perhaps "fire in the eyes" is not the best term for what I'm describing. That confidence in his eyes which he had the first go around has disappeared

Don't forget that he was also a national racquetball champion at the age of 35. With that said I fully agree with your comments. The only factor that I know of right now that may affect his decision is his family.

Can you say WINNER? Anything this man touches, he basically turns to gold. The man is blessed, no other great coach whether Lombardi, Noll, Walsh, Parcells, Belichick, can claim that.

SB

No, I don't have a problem with it. I love Joe too. Just not as much as you do.
