Gibbs to Resign as HC/President

Down day for the Skins, but Coach Joe leaves us waaaaay better than he found us. Promote from within and let a new day dawn!


Agree completely.
The roster Gibbs started with from Spurrier just flat out sucked.
He built a TEAM.

Thanks Gibbs for your hard work these last 4 years.
We will forever remember the Blowouts of Dallas, and the miracle comeback against them too.
The 5 game and 4 game runs to make the playoffs and your class handling the Sean Taylor situation.

You will forever be a Redskins Hero

What about a new team president?
If we don't hire someone else will all the personnel decisions fall on the shoulders of Danny and Vinny, with the new HC making some suggestions here and there?
That's a thought that scares the hell out of me.
100% Agreed. A new GM must be first priority or we are in for another long 15 years.

The first time Joe Gibbs retired, my wife came home and saw me on the floor in my Redskins Room decked out in my Skins gear....Hail to the Redskins was playing and I had 3 candles burning....one for each Superbowl victory.....she asked.....
Who died? I responded, "Joe Gibbs just retired"

LOL, you're lucky she didn't back slowly from the room, pack her bags and burn rubber in the driveway.. You've got a good one!!

I hope as 'special advisor' the first piece of advice he gives is to hire Floyd Reese or figure out a way to pry Scott Pioli from New England..

Being 67, dealing with the death of Taylor, facing the same possibility with his grandchild with leukemia/cancer, he needs to focus on his family.

It was a great run. Despite what anyone says, I'm glad he came back and rescued the team. He has actually turned Snyder into a good, smarter owner and set up the team with a bright future with a ton of young talent. Playoffs two of the last 3 years despite HORRIBLE luck with injuries to star players every year, plus he's put a great staff in place. Greg Williams and Al Saunders will likely stay around and I believe Williams will be very successful. The game has changed since Joe's first stint, but Williams knows today's game better and is more aggressive.

Thanks for the memories, again, Joe.

I would mess myself if we got Scott Pioli or Floyd Reese.

Feelings summed up in monosyllabic words:

FUCK. WOW. NEXT?

I am extremely upset about this. Don't say repeatedly you intend on fulfilling your contract and then walk away after the toughest and most gut wrenching season the Redskins organization has ever endured. It's not right. Unless Joe has a very good reason for not sticking around, I'm afraid my level of respect for him might be slightly diminished and I hate that feeling.

God, I am so pissed off right now and I just can't sit here and be all, "Well, good luck Joe, thanks for the memories." I realize I sound like a complete drama queen right now, but I don't care. I hope I feel differently after I hear him speak.

Ok, we have got to promote from within. Continuity is the key to success. My money is on GWill, hopefully with Al as the asst.

LOL, you're lucky she didn't back slowly from the room, pack her bags and burn rubber in the driveway.. You've got a good one!!

Yes, she's a good one.
One thing...she always seems to have somewhere to go at 1pm-4 on Sundays.
I just can't figure out why
