Top it all off, his 2 year old grandson has leukemia and has an uphill battle to survive. Sorry, if I was Gibbs I would walk away also. Coaching itself with all that pressure is draining, pile the rest of the stuff on and shoot I would say game over also. It is sad he is going, but I for one thought he was gone after next season anyway. The franchise isn't going to take a dive from this. We were going to have to let Coach go soon, we just have to deal with it being sooner than later.

I think you summed up my sentiments about Coach Gibbs and his reasons for stepping down. I love Coach Gibbs and will remember how his presence was felt on his second return. However, it was time. After a close defeat, Coach Gibbs always sounded depressed and drained from the loss. It's time to get a Coach with wisdom, knowledge of the NFC east and of course able to beat the shit out of Dallas!
