So Long To A Legend

Joe Gibbs stepped down yesterday as head coach of the Washington Redskins, ending his comeback from retirement and induction into the NFL Hall of Fame after 4 up-and-down years. It's a sad day. Sure, the rigors of being a head coach in the NFL maybe too much for the 67-year old Gibbs, and perhaps a younger coach is in order. None of this diminishes what Joe Gibbs has meant to the Redskins organization, the Redskins players, and Redskins fans. There's not even any need to delve into the astounding statistics, because Gibbs is already enshrined in Canton. For anyone too young to remember Gibbs' first go-round in the NFL, you need look no further for a shining example of what it means to be a leader of men.

You will be missed Coach Gibbs. I wish the best to you and your family, especially Taylor. Thanks for everything.
