I believe that there is about a 10% probablility that Joe Gibbs will be back with the Redskins sometime in the next 3-4 years. Note, that is a long-shot to be sure, but the chance is there.
If he comes back, it will be in a football capacity. I think he would only be the coach again under dire circumstances; but if he comes back to the team, it will be in the football part of the operation. I don't think he will be a figurehead exec or a "show-pony minority owner."
Remember back when Gibbs resigned the first time and JKC kept Gibbs' salary checks in his desk uncashed. That was JKC's way of "leaving the light on" for him. Let me say without any more specifics that I am convinced that the Redskins have "left the light on" once again.
I agree with you wholeheartedly that Marty will never work with Danny Boy again. Neither party wants that to happen...

No way Gibbs comes back again, just no way. Have you seen him lately? He looks about 10 years younger.
And a whole lot happier.

Do you guys remember me suggested Gibbs would come back? And then he did. Shocked the crap outta me. This time? No way, no chance. This team will have problems being consistant and competing against the elite franchises in the NFL until their is a football person in charge of football. Cowher, Parcells. Shit I say bring in Shanahan!

Marty and Dan get along more so than people seem to believe, but that's neither here nor there.
We're talking about Gibbs here (not sure why since the thread is about Reeves), and I suppose it's remotely possible as you say but it is definitely the last thing on his mind right now
Gibbs back again? I think not. Gibbs "win-now with overpriced veteran players" philosophy put this franchise back years. He abandoned this team in its darkest hour. Hes ridiculously old. No thanks.
I definitely don't agree, I would instead argue that he helped guide the franchise through it's darkest hour. That playoff run was vintage Gibbs, and his leadership and guidance through the Taylor tragedy was unmistakable.
Back to Reeves, so apparently Jones put in an "hours clause" into his deal specifying how many hours per week Reeves would work?! I can see why a true professional like Reeves would be insulted by something like that. I mean the guy was already working before he even had a deal in place, going over the offense with Garrett and what not.

Yeah JJ supposedly wanted Reeves to do all this work but wouldn't really put him in charge of anything. Reeves whole thing was "If I'm going to do all this, I better have some say"
Ultimately it's just another shot at Wade really, because I think he's the one that wanted Reeves in the first place

What is happening in Dallas and what is on this thread is making realize how similar the Redskins and the Cowboys are because of their owners.

I agree wholeheartedly. Gibbs was a guiding light during our darkest hour. What this team accomplished during this time was nothing short of remarkable. As far as Reeves goes, isn't this just typical JJ behavior? The man is a control freak and an egomaniac. I'm so happy he bought the Cowgirls instead of some other team. GMScud often uses the word circus to describe this team. That is the best description I have heard and JJ is the ringleader.

Gibbs just made the inevitable come a year earlier, that's it. He guided the team under its darkest hour, which was when Taylor died.l
