Gibbs NOT a good loser

SmootSmack · 09-28-2004, 03:24 PM

The one thing I was kind of wondering about though is why was LaVar in the box in the first place. Barrow was down on the field with his teammates, why wasn't LaVar?

Maybe he was invited up there?

Maybe he's supposed to stay off his feet?

Who knows

Everyone on the team should hate losing as much as Gibbs. You have to hate it more than anything else; that's what drives a winner.

I was to mad to talk to anyone after that game last night so why would I expect anything different from coach Gibbs? He is the one who poured 7 sleepless nights into preparing only to watch a completely winnable game slip away. Anyone who yucks it up after a loss like that obviously does not have the same emotionaly invested in the team as I do.

They said he was on crutches this week, so I'd guess that was it...

I have to say, when I saw it live, I was taken back... like .. WOW. It was clear, the fury and inner anger Gibbs had goin on.

but the reason is perfectly clear... on the Monday Night Countdown shows, I picked up some things about our fearsome leader...

1) The Dallas Cowgirls.

He LOVED making and carrying on the true HATRED that fueled this rivalry in the 80's. He wants to get the team back to that (it still is clearly in him). He knows it can be the ultimate motivational tool for a season, much less 2 games each year... wanting to be better than Dallas. For Dallas to beat him at home, especially due to a couple of "oopses" in his game-calling... makes him burn inside, just like us.

2) Bill Parcells

When Gibbs was hired, Parcells left him a message that said, "Does this mean we can't talk for 5 years?" Well, I guess he has his answer, seeing as how Joe hasn't answered him or spoken to him (including last night) yet. He knows you can't be friendly with the enemy... you'll lose that edge, that fire to beat them... and trust me that's how he sees Parcells as the Cowgirls coach.

Also, when asked what he thought of Parcells, one of the first things he said was, "He thinks he is a great coach, and I guess he has shown that he is." Now, I think it's prety obvious that there is something beneath the surface there impying he thinks Billy Tuna is a little inflated when it comes to his ego. I mean, you KNOW there is a HINT of animosity there for Gibbs just because Parcells has "had his number" during his career. He knows that his legacy is on the line this time around... and that Parcells could step past him on that top 5 list of all-time coaches if he continues this trend.

So... all in all... it is really clear why Gibbs would HATE having to shake his hand after the game, DEFINTELY not wanting to conceed that he had been beaten by the Chicken of the Sea... but as the class act he is... he at least went through the motions and met him at midfield... I guarantee you boys, no matter how angry we are about last night, the man in the black hat with a red "R" emblazoned on it... is BURNING UP over this one...

Shit i would be pissed too if the refs spotted the other team 14 points like they did on monday night. We deserved to win that game.

Check out this video clip to see how overblown the Gibbs handshake stuff is, he looks right at Parcells before they shake hands, it was hardly the big blowoff that some people are saying.

Anyone remember losing a high school football games. Then you get in the two lines and slap hands and everyone who won is like " good game , good game " and when you lost you didnt say a word just walked through?
