Thank you to Joe Gibbs

Thank you, Joe Gibbs. Because of your faith, life and witness, my life is different. With a 3 yr old granddaughter who is having medical issues as well, I fully understand and repect your decision to be closer to your family.

God's peace and grace to you in retirement.

Matty you nailed it! Coach thank you for being you Coach! We will all miss you, thanks for sharing yourself with us again!

Joe Gibbs...

You are a constant in my most cherished memories of this team. You were a role model and father figure to those of us who had none. You didn't just care only about your position or your players, you cared about us. We, the fans, always mattered to you. So much so, you returned to try and restore to us what had been lost for so long. I will always be grateful to you for that. Your legacy should not be remembered for only what you accomplished on the field, but what you accomplished in the hearts of every Redskins fan as well.

I wish God's blessings upon your life and we welcome you home with open arms. Wherever God leads you in the remainder of your journey, I hope you'll always carry us with you.

He may never see this thread but I just wanted to send out my own personal thanks to Coach Gibbs and give everyone here the chance to do the same.

Thank you for coming back and attempting to restore some order to a franchise that was in disarray since you left in '92. Thank you for guiding the team through one of it's darkest hours during the tragic death of Sean Taylor. And thank you for giving us one last ride with a true coaching legend. Even though you were unable to bring another Super Bowl title back to D.C., your efforts are appreciated and the franchise appears to be on much more solid ground today than it was 4 years ago.

Thank you for being a true Washington Redskin. You will forever be the coach of the Washington Redskins.


i am bumpin' this thread as i was gonna post the same thing... regardless of what went right or wrong with the team, gibbs brought back stability and he got us back to beating Dallas again. Nobody can take that away from him. I am a child of the 80's and i must admit all that success back when i was in my school years got me (and most of us) spoiled, but ups and downs notwithstanding thank you for pointing this franchise in the right direction. I sincerely hope Snyder does'nt mess this up. A new system would probably sabotage Jason Campbell's development. the skins are not too far away from the promised land in my opinion - lets keep this going. G. Williams should get it. if Shwartz gets it i think williams is gone. why would he work UNDER the man who succeded him at Tennessee? Lets pray for the best here. but whatever happens we are NOT back to square one, as some people have told me...anybody agree with me here?
