The Redskins need Gibbs more than ever now, but I've never wanted him less (if that makes any sense)
How so?

I wish it was just the 5-6 record we had to worry about him leading us out of.

Agree 100%. I'm not a religious person at all. Not even sure if I believe in God. But it is, at the least, strange to see someone with certain gifts put in the exact situation where those gifts are needed. Really makes you think.

As I listened to Gibbs today, I just got the feeling he is not going to come back. He started talking about life and his family and grandbabies. And you could see he was fighting back tears. He's 67 and in the latter years of his life. He's such a family man and I think after seeing this it's going to push him into wanting to spend time with his own family. And I can't blame him.

Like I've always maintained, Gibbs can do whatever he wants. And let's not forget he's going through this entire season with his 2-year old grandson battling leukemia.

I think what SS is saying, and yes I'm speaking on his behalf, is that on one hand Gibbs is probably best suited to strike the balance of preparing the team for football and mourning Taylor's death, but on the other hand who wants to see Joe Gibbs work what could be his strongest trait under these circumstances?

I don't think anyone questions the loyalty and respect the players feel for Coach. Whether he is the best coach today is a topic for another day. For today, I'm grateful that we have Coach Joe to lead this team.

Wow. I've heard him that sort of stuff about Gibbs before but it never felt so powerful as it did just now.
