CNN is reporting that WTTG reports that Joe Gibbs will be retiring, to be
replaced by Richie Petitbon.  No reason is given for the retirement, though
I can speculate.  The Daytona win probably made Joe realize that he can enjoy
competition in less intense arenas, and thus he will be able to devote his
time more to his work with troubled youth and things he considers more
meaninful than football.

My distress at this potential news (and I stress that it's unconfirmed) is
tempered by several thoughts.
1.  Joe gave us more than any fan had a right to ask for.
2.  I have nothing but the utmost respect for Mr. Petitbon
3.  I wish Joe Gibbs nothing but the best in life, and if he'd be happier not
coaching, then I hope he enjoys his life out of football.

Boy, aren't you glad the Bears hired Dave Wannstadt (sp?)?
