I really believe Gibbs came back for a reason. Perhaps this is that reason.
I hope this isn't the reason by any means. The saddest day in Redskin history. But he is the VERY BEST at the helm at this sad time or any other.
The reason he really came back will happen next year.

I don't think anyone questions the loyalty and respect the players feel for Coach. Whether he is the best coach today is a topic for another day. For today, I'm grateful that we have Coach Joe to lead this team.

As a man who has recently found his faith and that God puts us in situations HE needs us to be in at times. I belive you are right. There is no other coach who I would rather have right now, and to expound on this I do not think Joe will be leaving any time soon. He needs to be with this team. They are his guys and so was Sean. My prayers are with you all.

Gibbs has never had to deal with something like this, but I can't imagine anyone that I'd prefer given the circumstances.
BTW, I heard about Rock Cartright openly weeping when he walked to the parking lot yesterday after getting the news of the shooting. Gibbs talks about "True Redskins", and I really believe that what he's talking about is the love of team and teammates that Rock openly demonstrated there. Along with Gibbs, this team needs the Rock Cartrights and the James Thrashes to help get through this dark chapter.

Well there is no doubt in my mind now that Gibbs will return now next year to lead this franchise.
The Redskins need Gibbs more than ever now, but I've never wanted him less (if that makes any sense)
How so?

Well I mean we always talk about what a great man and leader Gibbs is. And I hear it all the time from people I deal with in NASCAR and with his racing team. If anyone can guide an organization through tragedy it's Gibbs. But I wish we didn't need this to remind us all of what a great man and leader Gibbs is. I wish it was just the 5-6 record we had to worry about him leading us out of.

I think what SS is saying, and yes I'm speaking on his behalf:), is that on one hand Gibbs is probably best suited to strike the balance of preparing the team for football and mourning Taylor's death, but on the other hand who wants to see Joe Gibbs work what could be his strongest trait under these circumstances?

Perfectly stated
