Letter to Joe Gibbs

[Southpaw]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the meaning of all this "Gibbs needs to step down" talk, but it sounds to me like people actually want him to step down right now, in the middle of the season. If that's the case, that may be the most asinine Redskins related comment I've ever heard. This team does have coaching related issues(some Gibbs' fault, some not), but having the head coach step down in the middle of the season would basically be the same as throwing in the towel.

If you think this team is struggling now, you'd probably be shocked at the implosion they would suffer if Gibbs left midseason.

Of course I don't think he should step down now in a realistic sense, but for his own good I think he probably do it now rather than later. Even with all that said, we're still 5-4 and not out of a playoff spot by any means. I just don't think Gibbs needs the stress of this grind anymore.
