On the day they announced that Joe Gibbs was coming back to coach the skins, I just about wrecked my car with excitement. That afternoon, I downloaded a classic Redskins arrow logo from the 1960s and that night had it tattooed on my shoulder. There has not been one day that I have regretted doing it. You just KNEW Joe would lead us back to respectability...on the field and in the front office. This is all because of him. Snyder would have NEVER hired Zorn if he had not learned what to look for from Gibbs.
I know Joe was worried that he might tarnish his legacy by coming back. But what he has done is solidify his place in NFL history, and save this franchise at the same time. I hope one day to have the honor of shaking his hand and telling him this.
