PFT Rumor - Joe Gibbs is Coming Back

Given their close relationship I think this rumor holds some water.

Joe is nobody's fool. His success record is legendary. Do I think he was overwhelmed upon his return to the NFL......yes. BUT Joe has undoubtedly had much time to evaluate, and assess the triumph's, and failures in Joe2. He will NO DOUBT work from that perspective.
Who rallies the team better?
WHO is better prepared to successfully deal with DanFinger? WHO has a better chance of getting Dan into the correct "role" for the team than Joe?
How much fun would it be with NO salary cap?
MAN, I hope this is true.....
To tell the truth, I gasped when I read the thread!
WHO would give more to try to get this francise back on track. I am sure he feels to some degree a sense of failure in his Joe2 stint. The type of man he is....he would probably like to fix that.

Based on this rumor it sounds as if Gibbs would be in a team president type of role, he would hire a GM and help hire a coach. I don't think he would be heavily involved in personnel decisions, that's what the GM is for.

Say what you want about Gibbs 2.0, the guy knows people, he knows how to build relationships, and he values character. Basically the complete opposite of Vinny for the most part. Gibbs would add instant credibility back to the front office and give us a real shot at getting some quality football people in here.

I will undoubtedly have to have surgery when this is all over to "un-cross" all my crossed limbs

Well said. This is a small point, but from Snyder's perspective, this move would also allow someone else to fire Cerrato, thereby "preserving" their friendship. If i'm not mistaken, didn't Gibbs want to fire Vinny at one point or am i mis-remembering?

Is there anything else that could happen this week?

Love JG's as a team builder however, i don't know he is in tune to todays NFL. He knows old coaches, old personell guys. I'm not sure this is the route to go. He threw away draft picks as fast as VC does on crappy players. Not sure about this one. Hmmm.

He also loves VC. That's not a positive.

But do you know that to be true? It's been said on here by many that keeping Vinny has always been a requirement by DS. I don't know, but I certainly never got the impression that Gibbs could fire Vinny. If he came back today, I would think that would be more likely, or at the least Vinny would take on some ceremonial role.

No I don't know for sure but I am just assuming that Gibbs of all people had the clout to hire or fire anyone he wanted to. My guess is that Gibbs knew Dan liked Vinny and he decided to let him stay as long as Gibbs himself had final say. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE Joe Gibbs and I don't want his good name ruined anymore by Dan Snyder if in fact this is just a publicity stunt to get the fans off Snyders back.

And Vinny in any role no matter how insignificant is unaccebtable...You can not sell real change to the fan base with Vinny still there.

However, if this is truely a Parcels/Miami type situation where Dan is OUT...Vinny is OUT...and Gibbs hires a GM & a Head coach then I support it.

vinny, don,t let the door hit you on the *ss on the way out
please be true.......

He also loves VC. That's not a positive.

meh, I think he went along with the program more than anything, and Vinny's role under him wasn't as significant as it is now.
