Would You Want Cowher To Replace Gibbs?

One more thing, I liked Russ Grimm, and according to many accounts, he's a great coach. But aren't we falling into a trap when all we do is yearn for the nostalgia of the glory years in Washington?

I mean here we are, three years after the return of Joe Gibbs. I was on cloud nine when he came back -- I thought, FINALLY! -- the white knight has arrived to right the ship and bring the franchise back from darkness. Well, here we are. 6-10 the first year, a last ditch rescue of the '05 season (where we were headed for disaster), and 5-11 in year 3.

At some point, we have to let go of the past. Let's stop writing checks on an account that has long been closed. If Gibbs couldn't salvage this wreck of a franchise, how can Grimm do it?

Well I think it's as much to do with him being a solid coach as it is his history with the Redskins. I wish Gibbs had some hotshot young prospect on his staff that could inherit the throne so to speak. But the Gibbs' coaching tree is more like a twig unfortunately.

Regardless, I want Grimm to get a shot at being head coach once and for all. I think he deserves a shot now, especially with all the openings we might see.
