Well I mean we always talk about what a great man and leader Gibbs is. And I hear it all the time from people I deal with in NASCAR and with his racing team. If anyone can guide an organization through tragedy it's Gibbs. But I wish we didn't need this to remind us all of what a great man and leader Gibbs is. 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 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.
I echo exactly what you said. We don't always understand, like or appreciate God's plans for us, but we put our faith in believing in Him for our lives.
To also echo what Matty said, this very well could be the reason Gibbs is back, to guide the franchise through this tough time. I was thinking about the other options when Gibbs came back, Spurrier, Dennis Green, etc. and I don't think they have the complete package of faith, respect, leadership and character that Gibbs can provide at at time like this.

I really believe Gibbs came back for a reason. Perhaps this is that reason.
Couldn't help but think that when watching Gibbs' press conference. I'm sure our next home game will be a heavy one.

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

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.

Jeez, I'd forgotten about that.
This summer, My 16 yr old Daughter was mis-diagnosed with Leukemia, for 36 hours, and that was pure hell and it turned out she DIDN'T have it.
Can't imagine going through it with a 2 yr old.
And now trying to lead 50 plus guys through this.
