ArtMonkDrillz 12-04-2006, 04:00 PM You started off this thread saying Gibbs should step down.
Seemed like a pretty simple take, now you're trying to dance around the issue.
Yes or No, very simple.Well, for one thing, being fired and stepping down are vastly different.

Ok I'll change the poll if you want to nitpick
paulskinsfan 12-04-2006, 04:01 PM People are never gonna vote Yes In a Should Gibbs be Fired Poll, they just wont based on how much he has meant to the organization, its like asking a Penn State if Joe Pa should be fired. The poll should ask:
Do you have faith that the current coaching staff can right the ship?
mason4415 12-04-2006, 04:01 PM This thread is garbage.
Criticizing Gibbs is fine, I do it too. But I can't fathom how a Redskins fan, especially one for 20 years, would ever want Gibbs to go.
I mean before Gibbs came back the big talk at the Warpath was whether we'd get Fassel or Dennis Green for chrst sake. Is your memory that short?
Look at last year's SB coaches. It took the great Bill Cowher 4 years to reach a Super Bowl and 14 years to finally win one. It took Holmgren 7 years to reach the SB with the Seahawks and he still hasn't won one. Even Norv Turner lasted 7 years here. And now some of you guys wanna throw Gibbs under the bus after 3 years?
Gibbs has tried to do everything to win now as well as set up the franchise for the future. He brought in top coaches who could take over the reigns down the road. He drafted a young QB for the future even though we already had 2 QBs on the roster. I mean what do you want from the guy? I find some of your attitudes towards Gibbs to be somewhere between disrespectful and blasphemous.
The day Gibbs came back was one of the happiest days of my life. And the day he decides to leave will be one of the saddest. I thank god and count my lucky stars every single day that he is at the helm, and so should you.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and here's mine:
To all the fickle, ungrateful fans who want Gibbs to go, I say this - be very careful what you wish for.
"Be careful what we wish for"???? Are you kidding me?
HOW COULD IT BE ANY WORSE?! WE ARE 4-8! And 20-28 over the last 3 years. And we have the most talent we have had since the early '90's!

And you don't think that poll would yield a similar result?
C'mon man, you're kidding me right?
mason4415 12-04-2006, 04:03 PM And look at what coaches in New Orleans and the NY Jets have done in 1 year. Look at what Nolan has done in SF in 2 years. All of them started with less talent than Gibbs. It would be one thing if we had young talent waiting in the wings, but we don't. The man has squandered 3 drafts and made lousy free agency moves to get us to this pathetic record. Its easy to keep riding the "I have faith in Gibbs train" but you would never ever cut any other coach this much slack. So if you have so much faith, prove to me that he has this franchise moving in the right direction after 3 years.
omg, i am so glad that there is at least one rational, non-biased opinion on this site!

That's not being nitpicky because they're completely different. If he steps down he still has his dignity, and he can still feel free to run the FO if he so chooses. If he's fired he's a disgrace, he's gone, and he's a failure.
There's a huge difference.

LOL yeah there's only two, thank god you guys found each other.

No, I think fair minded people would vote No to the last question I posed, while the same people would not "fire" Joe Gibbs. You hear what you want to hear Matt.

The basic point here is, do we want him back next year?
