If Not Joe, Then Who?

I said Grimm. Maybe an old hog with a fresh approach is what we desperately need.

I say someone from this site, since we seem to have so many geniuses who would never make a mistake during the draft or free agency, so many people are expert Madden players, etc.

In all seriousness, I want Gibbs back. If Gibbs decides to retire, don't expect a great 2008 season as new head coaches often struggle in their first season with a new team. And expect to see JC regress, or not progress, if we replace Saunders and force him to learn a new system.

If we had to get someone else, I'd probably go with Cowher since I like the guy, he likes smash-mouth football and great defenses, and he is a proven winner. That said, several teams will likely be after him and he supposedly wanted to stay out of football until 2009. He could be saying that he doesn't want to return to football in 2008 to gain leverage in contract negotiations, but who knows.


Good post SGG! All the coachs on this board, I bet Dan could get one cheap.....? lol

I'm 100% behind Joe finishing up his 5 year deal.

Joe Gibbs ............he won you 3 super bowls and is in the HOF ,what more do you want?


Besides Cowher is going to the Giants

Exactly!! A smart person and he's not even a Redskins fan. Where's the loyalty for the man that made this team champions!! As far as I'm concerned Joe can coach till he decides to quit.

This is actually my first post, so take it easy on me here. I think we all want to win now but has any thought been put into taking a younger coach and developing him like the Steelers' do? Through thick and thin, winning and loosing the organization stuck behind Cowher, anyone remember Kordell Stewart? Maybe someone like a Pete Carroll or Norm Chow? Someone who will bring some excitement and swagger back to DC and modernize the playbook!

I hope Gibbs is coach for another 5 years. Injuries have killed us this year. I wish we could see what this team could do if health for a hole season. I Gibbs did leave me thin Williams deserves a shot. I just hope he does better the Rich Pedibon did after Gibbs retired the first time.

Well, assuming Joe didn't come back for season 5, I have no idea who I would want as Head Coach. Honestly, I'm just tired of the head coaching experiements. Cowher seems to be the sought after guy. Gregg Williams is a popular choice, because he's firey and he's already here in Washington. Russ Grimm is also a popular choice because of the Redskins nostolgic influence. I have to look at this from a logical perspective. Gregg Williams has already been unsuccessful as a head coach. It took Cowher years to finally win a Super Bowl, although he hardly ever coached a losing season. Russ Grimm has yet to be head coach, so he's an unknown. I'd personally go with Russ Grimm.

I like this line of thinking. Bring in someone with some fairly recent college coaching credentials, but also coming from an NFL coaching pedigree. I haven't researched a list of possible candidates, which I know everyone wants but I'll work on it....later.

Welcome. But don't you think Saunders' playbook is pretty modern. We've been running a lot of trick plays and have been pretty pass-happy these past few weeks. Unfortunately, the line isn't blocking, the players at the skill positions aren't executing, and JC is playing well but is making mistakes at critical times.

Welcome to the board. I just don't think we have the patience for what the Steelers have done. We don't have it for a HOF coach, I doubt we'd have it for an up and comer.

I would like to see someone (Byner maybe?) move up to a more prominent role on the staff though
