I think as fans we should try to take our personal bias's out just a little bit and realize that the team is not getting it done and I relate that straight back to the head coach, especially when they assume GM and playcalling responsibilities.
As far as Spurrier quitting, I don't think that's really what happened. I think Snyder told him he could quit or he could be fired, pick which you want. Spurrier has all the money he needs and was disappointed in what he did in Washington and took the first route.

But, we've had this conversation before, Daseal. I know you understand the situation of last season. Didn't you say that you'd give him three seasons? As far as success of Joe Gibbs, looking at win-lose total up to this point only, is the only knock against Gibbs. For the most part, he has done everything right in preparing this team to return to it's glory. It takes patience, something that alot Redskins fans don't have nowadays unfortunately. Have you paid a visit to Tony McGee's post concerning this? I believe you'd be very enlightened by what Tony has to say in regards to player's efforts and Joe Gibbs. It's hard to argue with a guy who has actually played under Joe Gibbs and knows the state of the NFL.
As far as Spurrier's exodus form the NFL. We have also had this conversation before. Spurrier said he quit. Sure, we don't know what goes on behind closed doors, but assuming something is fact when we don't know that to be true doesn't make it true. All we have to go by is Spurrier's word. You know, there is possibly a chance that Spurrier felt he wasn't cut out for the NFL. Not every college coach who is successful in college can repeat that success in the NFL.
