If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?

How did Bill Cowher suddenly became the answer to everything?

Yeah, how many seasons did it take for Cowher to win a SB?

How did Bill Cowher suddenly became the answer to everything?


He is not the answer, but shit Gibbs isn't, and who is going to take over when Gibbs is gone regardless of if he steps down or stays for the full term? Nobody decent is coming out of the college ranks(maybe Carroll of USC). The best coaches in the NCAA know they have it nice and cushy if they are proven winner already. Any decent assistants out there capable of being a HC? Shoot we got two of the top assistants here already. We need a younger guy that still has fire in the belly still and is a proven winner in the FA era. I mean WTF!!!!! Are you going to keep hiding behind injuries to defend Gibbs as god still? I mean come on, enough is enough. Cowher is the best candidate right now, and if Gibbs stays then Cowher might land somewhere else. This is more than just Gibbs. it is about post Gibbs. Post Gibbs II might look as bleak as post Gibbs I unless we get a true proven winner. Sorry guys, there isn't much out there in the vet coaching pool but Cowher. You want to try GW as HC? Saunders? I don't think so

First of all, you guys don't have enough patience to wait for Bill Cowher to give us a Super Bowl title. Secondly, Pete Carroll has already tried his hand at the NFL. He was left with a Super Bowl team in NE (thanks to Parcells) and brought the team down to being an 8-8 team. No thanks.

COWHER... he said he wasnt coaching this year or next... Gibbs has said before a couple of times he wants to be true to his word and finish his contract ... We have had rumors surrounding talkin' to Cowher .... coincidence? He already has something in place with Danny boy .... Cowher will replace Gibbs!

I would just like the playoffs to be honest. The SB would be nice, but to be able to win the division and make the playoffs yearly would be great. At least we would be a winner. I don't want Carroll either, I was making the point as to why we should go for Cowher. And Skins, you better think about post Gibbs, because it is going to happen soon.

Part of me hopes Gibbs does leave and gives a big FU to the fans as he leaves. Yes, there are plenty of reasons to lay blame at his feet. Even he says ultimately the responsibility is on him. But it's unbelievable how he can get the blame for every mistake, but never the credit for success. Not this go around at least. When our running game, for example, is successful it's all about how great Portis is (and he is). But when it stalls, suddenly it's "Grandpa Gibbs and his conservative playcalling is killing us"

There's no guarantee that Cowher is going to be any better than Gibbs in this division though. There definitely is no guarantee that we'd win the division on a regular basis. Gibbs is good enough to at least get this team to the playoffs, but I honestly believe you guys would not be just happy with that. If that was the case, we would've just kept Marty.

Bottom line some guys just won't ever be happy.

I think that's just kind of the nature of Skins fans. We've gotten so used to coach bashing since he left after the 91 SuperBowl. Gibbs set the bar awfully high for himself. The expectations were so massive when he came back. I know the day they announced his return I was screaming like an idiot and running laps around my living room. He made the playoffs in what, 10 out of his first 11 seasons here? Was it so crazy to think we'd be a contender after a season or two? He's brought stability back to the organization. No question. Unfortunately the wins haven't come with it.

That's true, and it's evident by threads like this. Too many fans have the "grass is greener on the other side" mentality. I mean, I understand not wanting to be satisfied with an 8-8 team, especially a team that can't get to the Super Bowl. But on the other hand, you don't become a Super Bowl team over night. I don't believe you can put a time limit on building a foundation to a winning team. I've said it before, if it takes Gibbs five years to build a team that will win on a consistent basis year after year, then by all means, take that long. I'd rather have that than one Super Bowl year and another decade (or longer) of losing.
