I can't understand why some fans are making excuses for Coles. And, why are you guys hatin' on Santana Moss? Of course players look forward to playing for coaches, but that is no excuse to quit halfway through your contract just because your favorite coach quits.

Steve Spurrier liked his offensive players, but at times he didn't even know his defensive players names. How is that treating his players like men? Gibbs at least knows all of his players, and even though he gives most of the defensive responsiblity to Gregg Williams, he still takes an overall role with the entire team. At least Gibbs KNOWS all of his players by name.

It's easy to rag on the coach after one season....I don't know of many guys who could be away from the sport altogether for 12 years and comeback to lead a pro team to the playoffs or a championship.
