Why the media doesn't believe in Gibbs

[Longtimefan]

Many fans and media alike sometimes have difficulty adopting JG"s philosophy because they see how intrenched he is in the older style of winning. They have a hard time buying into the " Core Redskins " concept because in the age of free agency they know how difficult it is to keep a team together for extended periods of time the way it was before. NFL coaches now have to make their program come together much faster in order to offset the turnover on teams from one year to the next. There's just not as much time to mold teams into cohesion the way it was in JG first tenure.

However I do see signs of progress, and if we are fortunate enough to be able to keep a "Core Group" together, keep winning games, the perception will change.
