It was time for Joe to step down, but I was hoping that he would stay on as President though. I'm said for that because the man knows football even though coaching is over his head. Like Parcells stated earlier this (coaching) is a young man's game. I just hope that we keep Williams or Saunders as HC. I do not want some college coach to come in and changed things in this organization. We need some continuity. I'm hearing that Synder might be tempted to contact Pete Carroll or some high profile name. This would be a huge mistake. ONCE AGAIN, YOU CAN NOT BLAME HIM, HE CAN NOT COACH FOREVER!!

I just hope this doesn't set Jason Campbell back. A new head coach likely means a new OC, unless we hire Gregg Williams and he keeps Saunders.
And I thought this would be another slow work day...

I'm bummed, I thought he would at least finish out the 5 years and I was really hoping for more. I just hope we can build on the continuity we've got going and not tear things apart too much as far as the coaches go. I'm guessing this means some of his right hand guys like Bugel will be leaving too.
That's what I'm worried about - continuity. The only thing that's been continuous over the last 15 years has been mediocrity.
The revolving door pattern of coaches and players in this organization has got to be the central problem. That or we've got the worst luck of anyone.

I would imagine Bugel and Breaux will be gone. I really don't see GW or AS staying if the other is made HC. I could be wrong. The transition may be seamless with GW moving up and Blache becoming an actual DC. It's the FO I worry about. Even though he was still around and made some bad calls, Joe kept Vinny C in line and in his place.
I don't begrudge Joe leaving, I really think he has left the team in a better place. Hopefully, the lessons he taught about loyalty, high-character players will remain.

I agree skinsnut, I think it will be Williams. Cowher, while a quality candidate would be the quick fix that Dan would be rumored to go for. Even Pete "I don't want to coach in the NFL" Carroll's name has been thrown out there. Promote Gregg and keep things as stable as they can be. Make Blache the DC and Saunders keeps his spot.

Redskins coach Gibbs resigning today (http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7648730)
According to that, Gibbs will stay on as a "special adviser" to Snyder. Whatever that means.
There will also be a news conference at 3:00PM.
