Re: Lavar Arrington calls Joe Gibbs a Coward

Oh get off your self-righteous pedestal. Let's not all act like it's all LaVar. Everyone is culpable in what went down. Snyder, Gibbs, Williams, and Dale Lindsey could have done things better, and seeing how Lindsey was fired for poor job performance I don't think you lot should be jumping on LaVar's throat like vampires. Clearly LaVar is still bitter but you guys don't seem too far behind.

Actually, I find it a bit humorous. Back in '05 the LaVar Love was flowing, he could do no wrong and those foolish coaches just were on an ego trip. Perhaps, just perhaps, LaVar's attitude had something to do with the way he was treated. I thought he was an ass then and just enjoy the continual vindication he provides me.

Truthfully, we will never know who's to blame for what. The firing of Lindsay seems evidence of something, what I don't know. Certainly, Williams was a "my way or the highway" kind of coach. As for Gibbs, I have to admit I just don't get LaVar's vitriol. Is he angry that Gibbs didn't intervene on his behalf? Is mad that Gibbs basically cut off direct communication between Snyder and his favorites (if that happened)? I just don't get it. Is there any other Gibbs coached player that has been so outspokenly hateful to him? I can't think of anyone.

With that said - it speaks to how much the fans actually did love him that he continually gets this kind of reaction. For so long he was the face of the franchise. Maybe he just couldn't let go of that when the team was trying to turn the corner and reestablish a winning "team first" attitude.

I don't think anyone hear is saying the skins were right in everything they did in the Lavar debockle. The anger toward Lavar is for publicly calling Gibbs a coward. First it's so far from the truth and second Gibbs would never do that to anyone for any reason.
