Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward

[irish]

I recall reading in various publications that Gibbs racing wasnt going broke by any means but it wasnt a cash cow either. Racing is a very expensive sport and Snyder made Gibbs an offer he couldnt refuse.

Dont get me wrong, I dont think that the only reason Gibbs came back was to get $ for his race team but I do think the $ was a major factor in his return to coaching.

As for LA, I agree with cpayne. This is LA trying to get himself back in the media and make himself somehow relevant again. He does have issues some of which hurt him in becoming the great LB that we all thought he would be.

I agree with you. I think it was a factor too. But everyone is in it for the money. The NFL is big business. Joe Gibbs is a businessman and a very smart one. He got his extra sponsor with Fed Ex. If you ask me it was a smart as hell move on his part. But it's not like he was sitting around and working 8 hour days.

I think a lot of fans on this site and all over redskin land have a hard time imagining that St. Joe would allow $ to ever factor into anything having to do with the redskins.

Do you have some previously unknown insider information you can share? Or is this just idle speculation on your part?

If that is true, why do you believe he left with a year remaining and 5m on his contract?

Because of the illness in his family. I think it was his grand child.
