Post Gibbs II

As this isn't my main blog, and I haven't been exactly been blogging up a storm recently anyways, I imagine I'll only post here very occasionally. As the search for a coach continues, I ran across perhaps the best summation of the Gibbs era in the comment thread at Redskins Insider (yes, I know. remarkable).

Look, Gibbs 2.0 was not that great. In fact, it was downright mediocre or worse. But the fact that he was able to craft 2 winning seasons and 2 playoff appearances now seems somewhat amazing. Restoring respect and dignity to the franchise and keeping Danny and Vinny at bay for 4 years is almost as impressive as his 3 SB wins with 3 different QBs. He should get another bust in Canton for this tour of duty. No wonder he seems so happy now!

As Snyder and Vinny bungle along in their quest to destroy any credibility Gibbs had brought back to the franchise, we can only appreciate Gibbs more regardless of the endless botched two-minute drills.  And for the record, I am most definitely not in the Fassel camp. I would like to see Williams get a shot simply for the sake of maintaining what I believed to be a real genuine togetherness the team attained in the last weeks of the enormously trying season. After that maybe Grimm, seemingly a very-well respected coach who, of course, is a big part of the Redskins' tradition.

I'll be back after the Super Bowl. (I see the Giants covering....in other words, bet the house on the Patriots).
