according to Espn, Joe has announced his retirement as Coach and President........DAMN
ESPN - Gibbs to resign as coach of Washington Redskins - NFL (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3186165)
By the way he was talking yesterday this doesn't shock me at all. He never said he was coming back and you could just see it. He's 67 and this is a very demanding job. He wants to be with his family and I don't blame him one bit. Thanks Joe for getting the team back to respectability.

Personally, I'm happy about it. I want a younger ambitious coach. Gibbs helped stabilize the franchise a bit, but didn't build too much for the future. We can finally get back to normal discussion here and have people say their feelings.

Stupid English.

I just hope he stays around in some capacity.
Honestly, I'm pretty upset about this news.

Change can be good, but it isn't seamless. Very rarely does a brand new coach come into an organization and have them ultra-competitive the same season.
2008 could be a long, long season.
I am REAL disappointed about this!!! just when you thought it could not get worse. I wonder if Greg takes the helm?

Nothing on Redskins.com as of yet, nor on JLC's blog.
