Re: Coach Gibbs might consider extending stay.
I, for one, would love to see Gibbs coach this team until his health no longer will allow him to do so. Of course, I'm biased. But still, if most (and I think most have) can agree that Joe Gibbs has brought some sort of stability to this team, then you have to believe that is quite an important aspect that the team has lacked all these years. I realize we all want results, and results equals winning records every year, playoff appearances, and the eventual Super Bowl title.
But consider this. Under Coach Gibbs, just about all of the losses we've had have been games that we've been leading in, and or lost late in the fourth quarter. Basically, games we've given away in the 11th hour. There have been very few games that we were clear losers from the get go. The line between the Redskins being a good, playoff team and being a losing team is very, very thin. With the exception of the Patriots, this team has proven that it can stand up against every team in this league...including the Colts. This is what I've seen in the last few seasons. I can't really say that about years before then.
The end results is what we all look at, and if this is the case, we can all agree that the end results can be much different with a matter of a play or two and some good luck thrown our way. That's pretty much it. That, to me, doesn't call for the Redskins to make a huge change in the coaching and players department. It just means more patience and to stick with what we get, because it's going to start paying off.
