Joe Gibbs Retires Again

I guess this was inevitable...Joe Gibbs resigned Wednesday from his second tenure as Redskins coach. He had a bit of a rocky time since coming back, but he always carried himself with class and put a stamp of quality on the teams he coached. The NFL was better for his presence and will miss his character. It's a shame that he had to endure the classless Patriots running up the score on his team and the horrible death of Sean Taylor, one of his young players. But on the flip side of that, he got an average team to the playoffs and had a nice run to end his coaching term. And now he will be able to spend more time with his family...which, in my mind, is as good a reason as any to walk away from the NFL. We enjoyed your time back in the NFL, Mr. Gibbs. Enjoy the rest of your life.
