No, seriously, I know Gibbs has said numerous times that Coy was a big reason for him wanting to come back, but I tend to think that Coy may have been the spark that simply re-ignited the fire, so to speak. Whenever I hear him talk about Coy telling him he wanted to try coaching, it sounds to me as if it was the turning point where Gibbs began to think, "Hey maybe that's not such a bad idea after all." His sons were a big reason why he quit coaching to begin with, feeling that it took too much time away from his family. Now that Coy's all grown up, and has expressed his own desire to coach, maybe Joe thought, "Hey, this would be a great way to spend some more time with my son, while doing what I love to do anyway, right?"

So while Coy may have been a major catalyst for Gibbs' change of heart, I find it extremely difficult to believe that Coy is the primary fuel that drives him on a daily basis. We all know what drives Gibbs, and that is the desire to be the best at what he does. The guy may talk like a saint, but his competitive fire burns hotter than hell.

I heard in a interview with Gibb's and he said that he told his son that he wasen't doing this [coming back] for him. it was one of his first interview's. yes coy had a hand in it, but it was his mother who I guess figured it would be best if coy started coaching to do it under one of the best, so she gave her blessing's on joe coming back.

Happy Birthday Daseal - though if your 21st is anything like mine was, your eyes will be swollen shut for a few days after your first night of legal drinking.

Coy may have initially put the thought into Coach Gibbs's head, but you can't fake the energy and passion Joe has brought to the challenge of building and running this team. We should all thank Coy Gibbs for lighting the spark (a nice fruit basket, perhaps?), but the fire belongs to Joe Gibbs.

Dammit, Daseal, now I feel bad about pretending to be mad at you for throwing a wrench in our anti-SI rant!!!

Seriously, happy 21st birthday!!!

Hope you have a blast this weekend!!!

You're one of the best posters on this board, despite the fact that I tend to disagree with you at least 50% of the time! But that's what makes you such a good poster-- you stick to your guns, and you always present a good argument, which contributes greatly to the quality of the discussions on this board. Happy Birthday, Daseal!

Happy 21st B-day, Daseal. Now you can have your first legal beer.


Why do I get the feeling that this won't be your first? :headbange
