I can't believe Danny boy and Gibbs got him to stay. Just this morning I figured he had the Rams or Chiefs job locked up because they both needed defensive coaches. Our defense has been awesome during this winning streak and he deserves a fat deal, especially if we can whup the Bucs with our depleted secondary. Yeah to the real G Dubs.
Essentially this changes the complexion of what current vacancies will be filled by the remaining candidates. And it could potentially drive up the bargaining power of top assistants around the league.
I think that some owners will definitely be pissed at Snyder for this move.

Wow this is such great news. I was really thinking he would seriously consider a coaching position but am glad I was wrong. We should have a great defense for years to come and hopefully GW will take over as the coach after Gibbs leaves (I think he thought of this and realized that if he waits three more years, we would gladly offer him the job).

Three cheers for consistency!!!
Now let's not try to make too many massive sweeping personnel changes on the offseason.
Time to gel baby!

WOW. You had to figure Gibbs and Sysnder would want to lock G-Dub up. You gotta love Synder's willingness to win at any cost, literally. In the early years he thought it was all about spending on players. It took Gibbs to teach him that it was about coaches and the RIGHT players. I always wondered how Synder could be so successful in his business endeavors but struggle so poorly as an owner. He has learned from his mistakes with losing Marvin Lewis. He has finally figured it out. Kudos Dan Synder!

Makes one wonder how long it will take for some of league's "thriftier" owners and small-market franchises to start calling for a salary cap for coaches!
Snyder is certainly taking advantage of his cashflow superiority in one of the few areas where that advantage can still be wielded. Good for him. Good for 'Skins fans. Not so good for the rest of league. :biggthump

Anyone catch Bugel on NBC4 news last night. He said, and I quote, "in 28 years of coaching, this is the most closely knit team he has ever been around. Everybody likes and respects everybody else. They have a great attitude. At this point of the season, its not about football X's and O's anymore, its about attitude."
I hope the line of scrimmage explodes on the first play (no matter whether we're offense or defense) and we knock some bodies around.

Other owners were already ticked with the deals Snyder gave Gibbs' staff last year. But now the sh!t should really hit the fan.
