So, you mean to say that had it been Johnson walking in the door last year, you wouldn't be as fired up as we are about Gibbs coming back ? That's simply inconceivable to me, and I highly doubt it's true. There's something intangible, something kinda chemical about a coach coming home. Jimmy Johnson IS the Cowboys, and Joe IS the 'Skins. Tuna is a hired gun. To address the other thing you wrote...
First, let me say I think comparing Gibbs to Johnson...well, I don't know. I'm uncomfortable with that comparision. Joe's a HOF coach. Maybe Landry is a better comparision. Don't get me wrong, I thought JJ was a genius. An evil genius, but still a genius. He built his team up the way he wanted, and had the benefit of something like 471 draft picks from the Walker trade. He won with that team. When he went to Miami, he had to play with a local legend that was starting to break down. He even gave Thurman Thomas a try, didn't he ? In the end, he gave it up because he didn't want to be the guy that cut Dan Marino.
All we did with Gibbs is win games. We haven't done that so much since he left. You're telling me you can't see why we're so riled up? I think you
can see why, because the alternative is that I have to believe that you really don't know anything about this game and I'm
not gonna do that until you've shown me that you don't. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, DCF.
