Gary Gibbs Fired!!

!!!!!!!

:( Sorry for Coach Gibbs. He is, by all accounts, a nice guy. I wish him luck.

Now…LET’S GET HAPPY!!!!!!

Good luck to Gibbs. A nice guy but the business is about results. Nobody can say the Saints D got it done in ’07 or ’08.

Here’s to a different ’09. Maybe Payton was waiting to have someone in place for a successor before making this move

YYYEEEAAAHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn’t think it would happen, a Festivus miracle no doubt. I wish him and his family the best, seemed like a decent guy.

I can’t believe Payton actually did it. Maybe he’s not quite as stubborn as I once thought. PRAISE BE TO THE FOOTBALL GODS! There’s hope for next year after all! Best of luck to Gary as it was nothing personal by any of us or any Saints fan I’m sure, but this is a results-orientated league. This is only the first step. I anxiously await what comes next.

in these hard economic times you really hate to see someone, ANYONE, lose their gig, so here’s to hoping dude can find gameful employment doing something that he enjoys and feeds his family. God speed and bless him in all his future endeavors.

Now back to being a Saint Fan….HEEELLLLL YES!!!!!! Now get somebody who can show these cats how to be nasty, how to blitz how to take a way some balls and take some pressure off the offense. That actually makes my day!

Now, lets get Sean McDermott and either O.J. Atowge/Rey Maluga combo or Taylor Mays and a top tier CB!

The skies opened and the chorus of the heavenly host sang on high!!

I, too, was beginning to think we were going to stand pat. Now, let’s go get a fire-breathing, tirade givin’ bad-ass.

Although, Jason David should be riding shotgun with Gibbs.

and still none of the major sports media sites has this story.

Pacman Jones was cut. Now THERE’S big news.

Now let’s hear about all the folks being interviewed/considered for the job…we have here a nice little short list created by M-E that could be shared with LooPay.

Also, on a lighter note, given that Gary Gibbs needs work now, maybe he can just hook up with some relatives of his (I can’t believe I never connected them before now) and join the BeeGees on their reunion tour. C’mon, just picture him up on stage as the 5th (6th?) Gibbs brother in the BeeGees. He’d have a shaggy 70’s haircut, sport a slick white suit and he’d be beltin’ out the high falsetto: “Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Stayin’ Alive! Stayin’ Alive! Feel the city quakin and everybody’s shakin it’s stayin’ alive, stayin alive!”

Well, I’d just like to say: I was wrong. I thought Payton would dig his heels in for another year. It seems pressure was applied.

Well, ok then. Good luck to Gary Gibbs, I’m sure he’ll be fine. Does this mean I have to buy 2009 season tickets now?

that post on the2008 defensive stats now? Too depressing. Start the year spanking clean.

But keep them around to compare to Gibbs’ successor at this point next year.

JUST KIDDING! This is awesome, I had definitely lost hope. And before we throw David overboard, if the new DC is a Kiffin, cover 2 type disciple we could still use ol’ JD, even though he sucks!! Go Saints!

And still, not even NFL.com has this story. What is going on with the MSM? I guess the Saints aren’t important. That’s okay, flying under the radar is good.

on the espn2 bottomline

wasn’t that a party!

I cant believe it .. i really cant i was on ventrilo with my Lions friend and he cursed me for yelling in his ear.

I am way to pumped to sleep now

It was on NFL.com on their top storylines. It was the bottom one though.

I can’t believe Payton actually did it. Good for you Payton…and for the Saints.

Dave…you must have sent that copy of the season’s defensive stats to Payton…good work!

All week, I’ve been trying to think of who Gary Gibbs looks like. Seeing his head shot so many times recently has really been bugging me and I think I finally have it now…

Any of you guys sci-fi fans? Star Trek???

Gibbs looks just like that character from DeepSpace9 (the one with the black captain) who was played by the Rene Auberjunois guy who was Clayton on Benson in the 80’s. He had light brown hair and it looked like his skin had been ironed flat with no wrinkles.

Anyway, I’m just glad I’ve gotten that bee out of my bonnet.
