Coach Gibbs might consider extending stay.

Yeah I think people get caught up in the big name whiffs, and don't realize all the good things that he's done personnel wise. The good outnumbers the bad by far, but the big misses are what people remember.
But don't all the great mid- to late-round draft picks that Gibbs II: The Reckoning has made make all the wasted picks for guys like Lloyd and Duckett stand out that much more?

I didnt think Gibbs would be around for next year but with all the ST stuff and the injuries I really think he will be back and finish out his contract. As for additional years, I hope not. Its time for the Skins to move on and get a young coach in there that can stick around awhile.


I agree with you mostly, however I do fell he will be here next year as coach. I am not so sure I would want him back after the contract is up. I think we should move GW into head coach, let Al run the offense as he sees fit. RUMOR : has Al being let go at the end of the year because Joe does not like the progression of the offense. I dont really like hearing that, as Jason would have to learn a whole new system and there is always growing pains with learning a whole new system. #'s show that Als system is progressive, the first year in the high 20's, 2nd year low 20's to high teens, then the third year is the big jump in the top 10. I want this outfit to show some consistancy. so when Joe decides to call it quits, we keep GW, move Blache to D-cord and let Al run the show on offense.

For someone who enjoys consistency, I would think it would be hard for Gibbs to want to move on that quick with Al. There's no WAY you can blame him for the offense. Sure, he should share some blame, but I'm talking like 20% of it.

W/out question the FO has done some good things in the draft. But if we miss the playoffs again that's 1-4 under Gibbs w/ alot of high priced coaches. So something is not right. And it all comes down to the 2nd half blown leads. Gibbs has to take some blame for that.

I looked at the FA draft class of 2008 and honestly there are some real studs and real duds. There doesn't seem to be a lot of people in between. This year, we build through the draft and maybe we could throw some bucks at SS and I's man crush, Justin Smith.

I really hope this turns out to be the way Joe is leaning, not leaving until things are in order.

We are very close to being where we need to be as a team & organization.

This would be GREAT news if Joe stays.

Only to those who want them to stand out. Otherwise, no. Gibbs and his team estimated the better option in those rounds was to pass on any college talent and invest in current NFL players. It backfired, it happens. Doesn't need to be magnified any more than his successes.

"some blame" being the operative term

I had a man crush on Andre Carter a couple of years ago, and that's paid off nicely. :)
