I have a question for everyone, forget what Gibbs did in the past and treat him like a brand new coach who has accomplished nothing, then let's hear the evaluation of him pertaining to last season alone and this past draft, I think a lot of the posts will be much different when you remove Gibbs's mystique and evaluate him objectivly.
This question may be better suited for it's own thread.

First of all, of course Gibbs is going to say that. Anybody who knows about coach Gibbs knows he's going to say that. He's about the most humble guy you've ever seen. What's he going to say: "I deserve extra consideration and patience because I won 3 rings for this franchise!"? Come on, that's what us fans are here for. To defend and support the coach who was at the helm for the only thing resembling a dynasty this team has ever known.
Sorry, but he's not a rookie coach. You can't strip away his prior accomplishments and judge him. That'd be like Brian Billick going to the 49ers this year, finishing 6-10, and then judging him as a terrible coach based solely on one year's performance. Just doesn't make sense to me. With Gibbs comes a stellar record and uncontroverted success. Even non-Redskins fans I've talked to don't judge Joe Gibbs without first seeing the three rings on his fingers. I swear he gets more respect around the rest of the NFL than he does from certain people in this forum.
