Should Gibbs stay or go?

sancho2613 · 01-06-2008, 04:18 PM

Now that the season is over I kinda was wondering if you guys thought that Coach Gibbs should stay or go? I know it was a rollercoaster season for him with the tragedy of Sean Taylor but still managing to help his team get in the playoffs. He was also took a lot of criticism with the whole calling 2 timeout thing but overall I feel like he did a very good job with his team through all the hard times and I would like to see him come back and try it again next year with the skins. I just wanted to know how you guys felt about it?

He's coming back. No doubt. I'm starting to think he won't retire for good until he can lead the Skins to another super bowl. I think I said it awhile ago, Gibbs isn't going to go down as the coach that, "Used to have it". He's here till we see the trophy again.

He should definitely stay. With all the 'Skins have went through this year, a lesser coach would've folded up and said "next year!"

If the Redskins continue to improve and make it back into the playoffs again next season, I'd be all for a contract extension.

He's got one year left on his deal, he's coming back. I was skeptical a few weeks ago but they finished strong. I want to see him back.

I like Gibbs and several individual players as well. People come and go but the organization will remain. That being said I don't care if Homer Simpson is the coach,I just want the Redskins playing good sound consistent football and getting back to the big game.

Coach Joe will retire from the sidelines in Feb. '09. After hoisting the Lombardi Trophy he will turn the day to day over to Greg Williams and remain as the Team President. The team is 100 times better off now than when he came back but that isn't enough for him. Call me corny, but I can't see Coach quitting anything without accomplishing what he set out to do.

I am really glad it wasn't a skins fan that asked this.

twinskinsfan · 01-06-2008, 04:41 PM

He should stay, we are a playoff team, we would screw ourselves by letting him go.

Me too. I actually opened the thread ready to pounce thinking it was someone complaining that we lost in Seattle.

Joe will go when Joe's ready to go. Period.

EXoffender · 01-06-2008, 05:02 PM

He brings much value as a part of the FO but, it would be best for someone else (Greg Williams) to take over as HC, Blache as DC and Saunders as OC with Todd Collins supplanting him a la Jason Garett. We need stability all across the board.

BrunellMVP? · 01-06-2008, 05:09 PM

he'll be back...noty sure about an extension though...

Unfortunately Joe will stay. I really thought he would go but when this team went on a run and made the playoffs I knew he would come back. IMO that was the only downside of this great playoff run.

I want the Skins to find a new young and energetic coach instead of going after a "name" like they always do.

Man are you gonna get slammed.

I would like for all of the coaches to stay for stability. I think if a new regime came in right now the team would fall apart.
