Would You Want Cowher To Replace Gibbs?

I think we should raid the 49ers coaching roster and get Nolan as headcoach with Norv as off. coord.

Welcome to the board! I love the International flavor we get every now and then.

Absolutely not...Cohwer will always be a Steeler no matter what team he coaches next. And I wouldn't replace Gibbs with anyone. When Gibbs does decide to walk away I would love to have Grimm as coach...

Cowher gets too angry and frustrated to deal with the skins organization, he wouldnt be able to deal with snyder, just like shottenheimer

Why can't people just retire and stayed retired anymore? I mean I love the fact that Gibbs came back, but now it seems like anyone who retires is just going through the motions and there is always rumours of them coming back to coach or play with a new team. It is getting kind of silly if you ask me.

I don't think Cowher has ever said he's going to "retire". In fact, he hasn't said anything yet.

But all along the word has been that he's ready for some time off. Not that he's calling it a career.

One more thing, I liked Russ Grimm, and according to many accounts, he's a great coach. But aren't we falling into a trap when all we do is yearn for the nostalgia of the glory years in Washington?

I mean here we are, three years after the return of Joe Gibbs. I was on cloud nine when he came back -- I thought, FINALLY! -- the white knight has arrived to right the ship and bring the franchise back from darkness. Well, here we are. 6-10 the first year, a last ditch rescue of the '05 season (where we were headed for disaster), and 5-11 in year 3.

At some point, we have to let go of the past. Let's stop writing checks on an account that has long been closed. If Gibbs couldn't salvage this wreck of a franchise, how can Grimm do it?

First I want Gibbs to complete tenure #2 before I even think about another coach, and there's no telling where Cower will be when that happens. I would say "no" to him anyway because there's no way he and Snyder could coexist.
Second, we need a GM to hire a coach, as long as Snyder is hiring coaches, we have reason to be skeptical, his track record has not produced much thus far.
Third, we need to consider a bright young mind with a future in coaching, not some retread whose coaching skills have already been left on the field at some other team's expense. We need to do like the Jets, New Orleans, Chicago have done, hire a young coach with a future, and if successful, will limit the need for change every three years.

Well I think it's as much to do with him being a solid coach as it is his history with the Redskins. I wish Gibbs had some hotshot young prospect on his staff that could inherit the throne so to speak. But the Gibbs' coaching tree is more like a twig unfortunately.

Regardless, I want Grimm to get a shot at being head coach once and for all. I think he deserves a shot now, especially with all the openings we might see.
