Joe Gibbs, "A man above men"

In our day of Self-Exhaltation, it is refreshing to watch the leadership of Joe Gibbs of the Washington Redskins. According to Rich Tandler: "reports on ESPN.com and elsewhere, Joe Gibbs will hand the play calling duties over to new offensive coordinator Al Saunders next season." In an era of pride and arrogance Joe Gibbs is "a man above men". I believe he is a true Redskin and not just the Coach of the Redskins. In other words he is a Redskin fan and wants to help rebuild this team so that when he retires in a few years (and he will) he can watch the team, pull for them, and enjoy the team that he helped bring back from the depths of mediocrity. He is not doing it for self-exhaltation, money, or some other selfish motivation. He is doing it for the love of the Team. This kind of self-defacing loyality is rare, rare indeed. I hope it becomes a "communicable disease".
