See, this is where people need to pay attention and not just wildly assume things. This is a classic case of people sniffing their own farts (yes that's a south park reference)

Over the course of this thread you've gone from Riley being a jerk but an amazing coach to Riley never having done anything questionable in his whole career

When did I EVER say he did nothing questionable in "his whole career"? I obviously think he's jerk, so you are CLEARLY wrong with this ASSUMPTION. All I'm saying is, you can't fault a guy for not wanting to rebuild.

and Van Gundy being a notch above Bin Laden.

Never once did I say Van Gundy sucked, or he was a terrorist, or that he was worthless human being, or whatever the hell you are trying to assume. All I said was Van Gundy didn't get it done, and Riley did.

And Gibbs had diabetes. And he wanted to see his family more. And he didn't come back with another loaded team two years later. So I am not sure exactly the same is the way I would describe their respective career trajectories.

Well, the diabetes should mean nothing considering he then worked 18 hours a day in NASCAR practically the day after he retired from the skins. I understand that he wanted to see his family more cause one of Gibbs comments was that he went to kiss his son goodbye and his son had a beard. He also said he was burnt out and needed the rest (which he clearly didn't get) and that is very similar to Riley. I'm not saying their careers had identical trajectories, and for you to assume that is pretty poor debating skills. What you are saying is, Riley left because his talent level dropped, and shame on him for doing so, but when Gibbs did it (for whatever reason) it's completely 100% acceptable. I say in both cases, there is nothing wrong with it. When you feel your time is up for any reason, then so be it. Haven't you quit a job that you were tired of?
In summation, you complain about my arguing tactics when it fact when you point your finger there is 3 pointing back at you, then you assume, assume, and assume some more with nothing even remotely solid to go on, even going so far as to ignore what has already been posted. Great post dj.
You've been here long enough to argue better than this. But hey, everyone has some poor posts. Go regroup and I'll see you later for a better, more productive discussion.
