George Michael's Interview of Gibbs

Did anyone happen to see George interview Coach Gibbs this week in his usual Monday evening slot? I heard that George asked some tough questions that clearly ruffled Gibbs's feathers. I missed it - Please comment on what was said if you happened to see the exchange.

He probably did it because he's still bitter at NBC for letting him go. I missed it though.

NBC didn't let him go. They asked him to get rid of another sportscaster and some production crew since the station is in serious budget cuts and he didn't want to so he decided to quit.

I saw it. Gibbs basically said all the stuff in The Post article isn't true. He also talked about how much he wanted to keep Pierce and Clark. He talked about how the piece on Rock Cartwright isn't true. He says " I would trust Rock with my life." What a bunch of BS. If it wasn't true then why in the hell did he trade for Duckett? All Gibbs had to do was look at the film on Cratwright and realize there was no need for Duckett. If he wanted Pierce and Clark so bad then why the hell aren't they here? It's not like those two didn't deserve bigger contracts. Doesn't he realize that letting "core" guys go and then bringing in and over paying worthless FA's is going to screw up the locker room? He just can't admit that he f-cked up in letting some guys go. But then he says blame everything on me. We need a GM in the worst way.

WHAT? You don't have faith that the current team structure can turn this all around? Blasphemy!

LOL!!! Hahahaha

George asked the tough question ... great job George.

Coach Gibbs gave his responses as he saw the situation in today's light. One may not agree with his assessments, but I would stop way short of calling him a liar.

Not to get off on a tangent, but I keep hearing fans say that we have personnel issues (scouting/recruitment, evaluation, best value analysis, trade-off analysis, character, business case analysis/cost, intangibles) and the conclusion is generally that the Redskins need a General Manager (GM). It sounds to me like the Redskins need help with Human Resources (that handle those personnel issues) and not a General Manager that handles all Administrative Efforts (of which Personnel is usually only a lesser part of the duties). In the NFL, is a GM considered a Human Resources job?

Well I'm sure they have an HR department. You know to handle the adminstrative things such as benefits, healthcare, so forth and so on.

That's a separate issue I think. The coaches are the hands on HR, if you will. HR can't help us with any locker room or on the field issues that may come up with a team. That's entirely up to the coaches to feel the pulse of the team.
