Joe Gibbs is the man
 

Hands down.

He is a winner across the board. In sports and most importantly life. In the 12 year span, beginning in the early 1980's, he came to DC and led the Redskins to a glorious run with a perennial playoff power that brought the franchise its first three Super Bowls (not the last of course). Joe left football and moved on to NASCAR, where Joe Gibbs Racing became one of the pinnacle racing teams in the history of the Nextel Cup. As recently as right now, Joe Gibbs Racing is the defending Nextel Cup champion behind their charismatic, heart-filled driver, Tony Stewart. All throughout, Joe has been a magnificent husband and father to his children. He lives by his code of ethics, through thick and thin.
On top of all of this, Joe Gibbs returned to the once proud franchise, the Washington Redskins, who for 12 years had been perennial losers, lacking consistenty in personel and camradarie. God bless him, and I want to share something, put something on display, with my fellow warpath members:

My whole-hearted belief in Joe Gibbs

Sounds good, just don't look at his win/loss record from the return...

Re: Joe Gibbs is the man
 

every time we lose or something doesnt go the skins way,i look back at all the chaos that surrounded the skins before coach gibbs came back.we are now run by arguably one of the greatest coaches to ever coach in the nfl.next year will be a very big year for the skins(but im not giving up on this year)with 2 years under his belt,and basically the same players,next year will be the first year where this is actually his team.in gibbs i trust

Re: Joe Gibbs is the man
 

said it before and say it again,"IN GIBBS WE TRUST".

He is the best coach would could possibly have.

End of discussion.

Re: Joe Gibbs is the man
 

it takes patience. some of us just don't have it. we can cheer for the colts to go undefeated if we ever get mathematically eliminated.

Re: Joe Gibbs is the man
 

Fans who are young and have not seen the 1st Gibbs run have no patience this time around and the older fans over 30 do have patience. The older fans also have an emotional attachment to Gibbs. I think you will find this to be the case more often than not.

I am not saying I blame the younger fans either...if you are in your early to mid 20's you have pretty much seen the Redskins do nothing but lose for your entire life and it must suck...

I think it's a little unfair to judge Gibbs II based on 1 1/2 seasons. Gibbs came back to a totally different NFL. Gibbs said he has felt like he had to learn the ropes all over again and I believe him. We usually don't toss out or judge a new coach after 1 1/2 seasons (unless you are Dan Snyder).

Then why is it fair to judge coaches, such as Spurrier, that come up from college the way he was? I will give any coach three years to show me promise that the club is improving. Gibbs clock management has been infinitely better (as Malcolm and I talked about this morning) but he still has a lot of flaws that need to be addressed this offseason.

Re: Joe Gibbs is the man
 

In no way would I question Joe as being a great COACH, coach being the key word. He is a great person, and knows how to build a championship team in racing. He is a great motivator and family man. there is not question as a person no one was created equal!! He is still learing the NEW NFL, and I do agree it takes more than 1 or so years to make any improvements. Which, to date since Dan took over, we have not had the same staff in place more than 2 years. It will be nice to see if Joe can guide this franchise in the right direction by building a team concept through the draft and KEY pick ups, not just name pickups. Then again, we dont have a 1st rounder next year so again free agency is going to play a part in our offseason. The draft is far more important that Dan likes to think, and hopefully Joe can get that point across for any future coaches and staffs that replace him once he calls it quits.


Thank god we have a person of his quality on our sidelines. It has been a long time waiting!

I couldnt agree more! I love seeing these spirited posts...makes me remember that we have the best fans in the game!!! I am proud to count myself among you guys!!!

Re: Joe Gibbs is the man
 

All true stuff. Gibbs is just as unhappy about where the team is now as we are. More so, probably. I think he is committed to taking this team all the way and will be here for his entire contract and maybe even beyond if that's what it takes. I think Williams will also stay until the job is done. I love this coaching staff. The team is not great yet, but it will be...it will be.

Because Spurrier quit! Walked away! Not to mention, the team seemed to be in constant turmoil, in and out of the locker room. His methods didn't seem to make sense from an NFL prospective. His blocking scheme acumen damned near got Ramsey killed. There was no sign of forward movement, just horizontal. Much to my disappointment at the time, dude was a clown, a charlatan, a carpet bagger, and those other bad things I cannot think of at the moment.
