The first time Joe Gibbs retired, my wife came home and saw me on the floor in my Redskins Room decked out in my Skins gear....Hail to the Redskins was playing and I had 3 candles burning....one for each Superbowl victory.....she asked.....
Who died? I responded, "Joe Gibbs just retired"

I knew what was over and what was coming....but 1 playoff win in the next 12 years....yikes.

For some reason, though slightly shocked, I don't have that same feeling...perhaps its because I'm 40 now and not a complete psycho, or....
it could be because the team was well prepared for his eventual departure.
It just seems a year too soon.

Joe,
Thanks for being such a good influence on the Redskins organization and fans everywhere!!
You will be missed much more than how many wins you produced
