I dont think Gibbs can be fired nor do I think he should be. His recent tenure has been disappointing to say the least but it would be a PR nightmare for Danny to fire him. I hope this does not shock anyone but next year is the end of Gibbs contract and I would be shocked if he stayed any longer. Guess what that means? Rebuild time again. Even if they keep GW or AS as head coach I am sure they will want to do things their own way. This team is constantly rebuilding because they set them selves up to rebuild constantly. The poor results from this method speak for themselves. Hopefully someday the orgamization will see the light and right the ship. Until then its more of "hope we are a playoff team".

If GW were to take over, which would be my guess at this point, I wouldn't see a major rebuilding in order. Having a coordinator take over would mean an easier transition vs. bringing in an outsider.

It wont be a major rebulding but things will change. I dont think GW will be the head coach. I have heard on local sports talk shows that Danny does not really like GW but puts up with him because Gibbs wants him.

Personally I dont want to see GW as head coach, we know what he can do as head coach and its nothing special. I would like to see the Skins get a young, hungry, first time head coach to begin a new winning era.

I've heard the same thing about Williams and Snyder.

I have mixed feelings about him being the next head coach. Besides, don't we have to interview other candidates because of the Rooney Rule anyway?

Of course there will be some change, but it wouldn't be as radical if they bring in someone from the outside.

Personally, I can see Williams taking over for a variety of reasons. For starters, if Gibbs stays on as team president he's going to have a significant say in the matter. I can't see Gibbs going after a so called "sexy" hire, I think he would want to minimize the changes as much as possible and hiring from within is the way to go in that respect.

The fact that Williams has stayed on when he could have easily jumped ship a few times for head coaching jobs around the league tells me that some sort of informal agreement may already be in place. Yes I know the $1M buyout that's in place on his contract really doesn't mean much considering we're talking about Snyder, but I still think it represents the fact that this idea has been discussed behind closed doors and some sort of arrangement may already be in place.

Moss, Portis, Cooley, Taylor, Landry, Campbell, Springs, etc.

Smoot let me ask you this. Does it mean Gibbs has an eye for talent when you go out and get a bunch of FA's? If you ask me anyone can go out and sign FA's looking to get paid. That's not a difficult thing to do as long as you have an owner willing to spend the $.

Plus the jury is still out on JC. Time will tell whether giving up an extra #1 was the right thing to do. So far, from what I've seen I would not have given an extra number one for him. That's not knocking JC in anyway. I just don't think it's smart doing 2-1 type deals that have been done with JC, Cooley, Rocky, Portis and Lloyd.

I dont think a young first time head coach would be a sexy hire. Tomlin was known to be head coach material but I wouldnt call him a sexy hire.

I think Skins fans have a somewhat skewed notion of GW's appeal to other teams as head coach. I dont really remember his name mentioned as a serious contender for any jobs last season, mentioned maybe but not seriously. I dont think GW is much of a hot item and believe he's still the Skins D coordinator because he didnt have any other options.

IMO, Gibbs does not have a very good eye for talent with FAs or draft picks.

I think when people cite Lloyd, Duckett, Brunell, Patten, Wright, Harris as some examples of why he sucks then it's perfectly ok to cite Moss, Portis, Taylor, Cooley, Fletcher, Suisham (gotta throw 5 Kicks some love) as examples of success.

Who says we would target a young first time hire anyway? I highly doubt we would go in that direction.

GW's name wasn't mentioned last year because he was basically viewed as being not available due to the extension he was given, and of course because the Skins had a horrible year defensively. Still, I'd be willing to bet his stock is still relatively high and he's still highly regarded. Hell, if Norv Turner can get chance after chance I see no reason why Williams wouldn't warrant a second chance. I'd find it very hard to believe that a coach with his resume wouldn't have any other options.
