What's Joe Gibbs' Job?

1. calling all the shots, having final say on a major moves, and he is the reason Saunders came here, and G. Williams stayed here.

2. he stays at least 2 more years, if we win it all this year he is gone

3. Snyder is an improving, as of right now, no he is not a good owner, he is an okay owner. 2 playoff appearances in 6 years is not good.

4. OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD - the giants just signed 3 defensive backs, and I'm sure it is in retaliation for our WR signings, they will be tough. Eli is only going to get better. Seattle is a good team still. Arizona might be tough if there D can step up and if they get Vernon Davis. Tampa could be strong again, Simms is only going to get better, and I would watch out for the rams, the offense is still there and they got some good defensive players.

we did set a record for playoff crappy-ness. Worst offensive outing ever in a playoff game. We had zero, no offense... now with a boosted receiving corps and a potential superstar QB... with weapons like portis, cooley, moss, sellers, the list goes on. Our defense will be better w/ the addition of Arch. + carter. No-one in the NFC will beat us. Going 5-1 last year with a team everyone can agree is not as talented as this years team. We'll go 6-0 in NFC east.

Just curious... It's the offseason and I need something to talk about:

few questions for the forum

1) What is he actually doing during the season? (anyone have any insight?)

2) How long is he going to stay? (does he even need to?)

3) Is Daniel Snyder a good owner? (we've heard it from the media "spends to much" blah blah... but has Dan snyder finally proven a himself)


4) Who's our competition in 07? (honestly who will beat us next year?... in my opinion no-one in the NFC east)

1. He will contribute ideas for the offensive game plan. He will make sure all coaches have what they need and are doing their jobs. He will make sure players understand what is expected of them and perform up to standards. He will report to Dan Snyder. He will interact with the media. On game day, the buck will stop with him on all big decisions like going for it/punting, etc. He will encourage the fans to make their presence felt at home games.

2. He will stay for the duration of his five year contract and yes he needs to. Have we forgotten the the sorry state of affairs under Steve Spurrier already. The only reason that people can suggest that Gibbs might be unnecessary, is that Gibbs is SO NECESSARY.

3. Joe Gibbs seems to think he is a GREAT owner which works for me. All the hate from the media is the result of them needing an antagonist for their simple minded narratives.

4. Parcells will be the biggest threat in the East. Tampa will be tough because of their defense. Seattle is a threat for home field because of their lousy division opponents. The AFC will field a strong slate of teams again as well.

gibbs is the face of the team, he runs all the PR (insane amounts of interviews) and makes sure everyone gets along. he can also over rule decisions of any kind and makes suer everyone does their job and has what they need (players, assistants etc)...

danny so far (since gibbs came here) has shut up and signed checks, and we haven't lost a player we've gone after yet. so over the last two years i'd say he has been a good owner.

I totally agree. I think Snyder has matured. He was fresh in the NFL (2000) and just went on a rampage and didn't have any guidance. The smartest thing he's done is give gibbs control. As far as being a good owner.... well we have Joe Gibbs, Al Saunders, Greg Williams and a staff unlike any other. I'd say he's done a fine job (as of recent) and he's gone above and beyond expectation as an owner.


We're a superbowl contender now, and we haven't been since 1992.

I have to agree with what someone said earlier....the giants will be a formidable foe next season, and perhaps our biggest threat. But lets not forget at the begining of last season the entire NFC east seemed as if they would stellar. Then McNabb was hurt and TO shitted on the eagles.... and Im not sure why but Dallas faded too. But the NFC east is always a tough division and I wouldnt be surprised if they all give us a run for our money.....But RobH Id tend to agree with you the Redskins will dominate this season. Its our year....and 6-0 in the division doesnt seem too far fetched

Yeah I have to give a lil "HAIL" to danny, he's signing players that make sense, and perhaps this is due to Gibbs' guidance, but hey he did get Gibbs to come back, which set up this stellar coaching trio....so Danny is the man...I wouldnt want any other owner...who else flies all their freeagent prospects in by personal jet....what other team has an online video stream of newly signed players going from press confrence to interview I love the redskins, and Danny is doing a good job.

Don't quite understand your argument there. Joe Gibbs has a winning aura around him. Other than that, I can't see that Al Saunders + Greg Williams are not sufficient enough to win a super bowl.

Bottom Line, Joe Gibbs is why there here... But those who are here, are why we win.

Joe Gibbs essentially runs the team. More importantly, though, he makes the team run smoothly and efficiently.

I like the way Winskins put it! Joe Jackson Gibbs is the president & head coach of the Washington Redskins. He always said his mission was to set up the organization so that it would win on a sustained basis. That means:

upgraded talent on the field
upgraded coaching for superior game planning and talent evaluation
rational salary cap structure.
So to answer your questions:

As the leader,he sets the tone, sets the goals, gets everyone, including the front office, moving in the same directions as a cohesive unit. Building teams is a full time effort.
He will stay as president for his five year contract. No one ever expected he would coach for those five years. You best believe both Gregg and Al know who's the boss! Gibbs is the only man Snyder respects enough to keep his hands off talent decisions.
Daniel Snyder became a good owner the day he hired Joe Gibbs -- and left him alone to remake the team. After the playoffs, Gibbs was asked the reason why the Skins did so well. He listed Daniel Snyder as #1 on his list. Look at how aggressively the Skins moved this offseason. A lot of that credit has to rub off on Snyder.
In the NFC East, I worry most about the Giants. Their FA moves are focused on the secondary. Their DBs could be attacked last year, especially if you held off their pass rush. Li'l Eli has more savvy and will be less prone to mistakes. Tiki Barber is the real reason that offense works. I don't know where Phily's head is. Donovan McNabb's interview during super bowl week revealed a lot more damage to the locker room than thought. May take Dr. Phil to fix it. Their FA moves are focused on the line and I can't believe they weren't more aggressive going for a WR (Keyshaun?). They are always a threat if McNabb is healthy and they recover from TO. Could be very tough if Lavar signs with them. Dallas' o-line problem will get a lot better when Flozell Adams returns. The Cowboys could score last season, but weren't consistent. They don't have the talent to keep TO happy, meaning that Owens could both help them and hurt them in a big way.

The Panthers, Jaguars, Bucs & Colts are on the schedule and bear watching.

Granted the dallas o-line will be improved, however the skins offseason aquisitions of andre carter will benifit very well. If you watch the dallas-redskins highlight video.... even wynn gets a sack or two. With carter and Daniels at helm.... good luck my friend. Dallas poses no threat.... i can hear an arguement that NYG will pose a threat... but NYG will have no answer to Williams and his team. Eli may have looked good..... but a rodgers/springs/arch/taylor db backfield will be a challenge to any offense. Especially with the afformentioned DEs breathing down his neck. Good luck bledsoe.... good luck Mcnabb, good luck... ELI... godspeed "rest" of NFC east... you'll certainly need it.

The Washington Redskins will be a force to be reckoned with. Am I violating Tony K rules by saying "Jump on the bandwagon". Maybe So. but the redskins will beat out any competition. Playoffs come and we'll have fine debate going. But for super bowl conteders: Skins, Rams, NYG, Pitt, Colts, & Panters. Other than that.... lets get a 4th trophy.
