Oh brother!! 2 MORE YEARS OF GIBBS?

I hate these threads...next he'll say something to the effect of how he's sorry if everyone can't handle open discussion of topics like this...people need to read their own posts before they put them up.

On another note, if Gibbs is so bad that he should be canned, who SHOULD be coach? Who out there is better?

Although we've heard rumors that Redskins coach Joe Gibbs will pack it in after the 2006 season, a league source tells us that the Hall of Fame head coach is openly talking about plans for the 2007 season.

The source believes, based on Gibbs' comments, that the coach will stick around for at least two more years.

In 2004, Gibbs surprisingly emerged from retirement after more than a decade out of the game. At the time, there were rumors that Gibbs' wife nudged him back into coaching so that he could hire their son, Coy, as an assistant coach. Mrs. Gibbs, as we'd heard it, wanted to get Coy out from behind the wheel of the Busch car he had been racing as part of Gibbs' highly-successful NASCAR venture.

In Gibbs' second year back with the team that he led to three Super Bowl wins, the 'Skins qualified for the playoffs and won on the road at Tampa before losing at Seattle. Combining last year's success with a near-annual flood of big-name free agents and the hiring of offensive guru Al Saunders, the expectations for 2006 were sky high.

Like most Redskins teams over the past seven season that were saddled with high hopes, the 2006 version of the franchise has failed. But Gibbs apparently won't be slinking away with a potentially tarnished legacy; look for him to stick around for at least one more season, probably two.

Possibly, more.

Gibbs coming back to coaching so he could get his son a job and make his wife happy ranks as the second most stupid thing I've ever read on the Warpath.

according.... to the newark star ledger , this will be his final year

Where's the link?

Of course we should want Gibbs to remain coach. Doesn't this team have enough instability already. For the good of the team, I'd love to see Gibbs hand off personnel responsibilities to a true GM. That and a recommitment to rebuilding through the draft is what I'd like to see. Gibbs the GM has sabotaged Gibbs the coach with terrible offseason decisions.

Would you expect the new GM to make tweaks or completely change thte team?

Suppose we brought in a GM (whatever that really means), don't you suppose that new GM would want to put his imprint on the team and to do that he might have to completely gut and revamp the team. Now if he does this, we're talking wholesale changes again. Does Gibbs stay for that? Would he want to?

i'm not to sure i want 2 more years of gibbs. the way things are going and all.

I'd like to see the team go back to the way Beathard built the Skins in the early 80's, from the inside-out. By that, I mean focus on adding studs to win the battles in the trenches, and much of the rest will take care of itself. Our D-line is a real weakness outside of Griffin and Daniels. O-line depth and age is becoming more of an issue as well. Any good GM would address those needs first.

Whenever Gibbs leaves, I want him to be the one to decide. He's earned that right.
