Gibbs Perfect Coach For Taylor Situation

[12thMan]

I'm having a really tough time right now, and I really don't want to talk about football, per se. But I think as it relates to the mood of the team and trying to keep everyone together, there isn't another coach I would rather have right now other than Joe Gibbs.

I think he'll strike a perfect balance between keeping the proper perspective, giving players room to mourn over Taylor's death and the game of football itself.

I can say with 100% certainty that I'm glad Joe Gibbs is our coach right now.

I'll agree with you on it. I'm sure Coach is more than torn up about the situation, and Gibbs being the spiritual man that he is will provide the support and guidance to the team. There is no way to counter something like this, except with time.

I really believe Gibbs came back for a reason. Perhaps this is that reason.

I can't think of a better person to lead the Redskins and us fans in this dark day!

[BleedBurgundy]

Remember, Taylor was Gibbs first pick during his second stint. So this is affecting him on so many levels. Things really have come full circle with him and Sean Taylor.

Taylor began his NFL career because of and with Joe Gibbs, and it had a tragic ending under Gibbs.

Without a doubt. We'll need leadership and compassion and Gibbs is the man for it. I know football is a petty thing to be thinking about but this is a situation that can bring this team together and give us something to be proud of. Maybe not winning a bunch of games but playing their guts out and putting forth the prideful effort, an undying commtment to honoring our fallen hero is what this calls for. I know that there is no coach I would rather be in charge at this point. No one even close. Maybe Matty is right. Maybe God's plan for this team and its fans was for Gibbs to lead us through adversity never imagined. Well here we are. I don't like it but we're about to go on a ride that none of us ever wanted to. In the end though something good can come from this.

I agree with you and Matty. I can't think of anybody else better suited for this situation than Joe Gibbs. I seem to remember someone having a quote from Gibbs in their sig that said, "We are on a mission from God." No truer words may have been spoken.

Well there is no doubt in my mind now that Gibbs will return now next year to lead this franchise.

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

[GMScud]

I certainly agree with the thread title. Gibbs and Co have already created a family-like atmosphere, no that in itself should help the players cope. He'll lead them, and they'll follow, but I just don't know how we can play a game this weekend.

I hope this isn't the reason by any means. The saddest day in Redskin history. But he is the VERY BEST at the helm at this sad time or any other.

The reason he really came back will happen next year.

smooty, i hear you. with all the bitching about the coach, this particular chapter was made for the great Joe Gibbs

[dmek25]

and skinsfan, you might want to change your signature

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.

As a man who has recently found his faith and that God puts us in situations HE needs us to be in at times. I belive you are right. There is no other coach who I would rather have right now, and to expound on this I do not think Joe will be leaving any time soon. He needs to be with this team. They are his guys and so was Sean. My prayers are with you all.
