buckbuster11 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 This doesn't really surprise me. This would be a nice opening if sweater vest wanted to take his show to the NFL. Gibbs to Retire as Coach of the Redskins WASHINGTON -- After the toughest season of his Hall of Fame career, one that tested his leadership like never before, Joe Gibbs is stepping down. He retired as coach and team president of the Washington Redskins on Tuesday, three days after a playoff loss ended an inspirational late-season run that followed the death of safety Sean Taylor. Gibbs will remain as a special adviser to owner Dan Snyder and was to discuss his retirement at an afternoon news conference at Redskins Park. The Redskins will search for a new coach immediately. Among the certain candidates are two former head coaches on Gibbs' staff, Gregg Williams and Al Saunders. The new coach will be the sixth since Snyder bought the team in 1999.

Tominator Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hope sweater vest stays right where he is. Joe is a good one. Didn't understand his return anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I think the game has sort of passed him by. He should have stayed retired the first time, and it's a shame he had to go out with the season he just had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a succesfull season if you made the playoffs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I agree... the game is different from when Joe coached before. The players are a different breed. I have a lot of respect for Coach Gibbs (even though I dispise the Redskins) and I'm glad he at least made the playoffs this year. I think he's doing the right thing stepping down. I would hate to see his HOF career be tarnished anymore than it has the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh...geez...I don't know...maybe the murder of his star player. That, or the fact he didn't get a window in his office.........:rolleyes::D Tough season to deal with, and one I'd probably not like to remember as being my last.

Ok, yeah that would be a rough season. I thought you were talking about competition wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhammer Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Man, just when I was beginning to like the Redskins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 You know what would be really cool? Is if some of these coaches would return to high school football to instill the fundamentals of the game. They wouldn't even have to pay them since they are multi millionaires. Would be nice to see the coaches give back to the communities and I don't just mean the inner city kids either. I'm talking the rural towns that take pride in everything their hometown stands for. That would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Gibbs is a class act, and brought about a lot of class to the Redskins over the years. They'll miss his presence for sure. He's one of the main reasons I was Redskins fan back in the day before we got the Panthers. I wish him well and welcome him back home to Charlotte!
