Not sure if its all that. He did have a gripe with our front office which lead to him sitting on the bench and then to his trade. Its not all on Lavar and I could see how he has a beef with Gibbs who was the coach at the time this all went down. He had a motorcycle accident (which might have been dumb) but other than that its not like Lavar just threw his career away like maybe Pacman.

Agreed. Gibbs isn't to blame for LaVar's career ending and really neither is Gregg Williams. LaVar should've played along with Gregg's scheme, but Gregg knew coming in that our star defensive player wasn't that type of guy. Would've loved to have seen the guy establish a longer career, but sometimes that's how the cookie crumbles. I know that he had a lot of love for the Washington area and the Redskins as a team and their fans, which is why he wanted to stay around the NFC East as well as base his businesses in the DC area.

I've got no bad blood with the guy, I'm not saying Gibbs is a coward for leaving, but as far as the sentiments on NASCAR, we saw Gibbs leave for it once, and we've seen him leave for it again. Granted he went through some shit this past time, it would've been great to see him stick around one more year for posterity's sake to make sure that the team kept an even keel.

Oh well, Gibbs is a legend regardless.
