I, for one, was disturbed by that article. Not because of the display of faith, but because this is a man who seems like a shadow of his former self. See below:

"And so do I feel weak right now? You bet your life. From a football standpoint, I feel absolutely weak and inept. But as I've kind of struggled through this season, I want to have steadfast confidence in Christ, knowing that if I persevere, OK, I'm going to be strong in Him ... no matter how weak I feel."

These are not the words of a winner. Being humble is good, but this humble?

He feels weak because the Redskins are having a horrible year.

Feel weak and be disgusted by your team's performance - fine. But admit that you feel inept?

Gibbs has always been humble to a fault. I'll wager he never bragged about his strength during the SB years, instead giving full credit to his players, his coaches, and his faith. During these harder times, he shoulders that burden of failure.

Oh yes they are. Gibbs has always been like this. The only difference now is that he is allowing the public to see this aspect of who he is. As a younger man he bristled at the idea of being viewed as pushy about his faith. He hates the idea that people thought he favored religous players.

The internet allows him to speak on these topics to those who are interested and those that aren't will likely never see it.
