The Future of Gibbs?

[skinsrule84]

Does anyone know if there have been talks of a contract extension or anything..? Is Gibbs going to retire after next year?

Sorry if this is a bit pre-mature, but I really hope he stays for a couple more years after his contract is up.

[GSPODS]

I don't think Joe Gibbs knows if he would stay beyond next season even if the offer was made by The Danny. Gibbs isn't exactly a kid any more and with his diabetes he can't live out of his office like he did the first time around.

I think Gibbs likes the money -- $5 mil a year is pretty hard to pass up...he can make Gibbs racing even better so I'd say, if the skins are doing well and danny flashes 10 mil over 2 years, he's staying...

Joe doesn't need the money. You have to be worth a minimum of $100 Million to own a multiple car NASCAR team and obtain major sponsorships. It costs around $20 Million a season to run the team.

Gibbs is coaching because he loves it... He's coaching the 'skins because he loves the 'skins. the money is chump change for him.

[por-tiz2skins]

maybe 2 more years cause hes doing good with us this year/

[everydayAskinsday]

I believe as long we turn out a winner this year which is looks like we are we will see Gibbs coach us in his final year of the contract then step down.. He wanted to get this team back to its winning way and guide them in the right direction and IMHO if he feels like hes done that then he will step down after 5 years and maybe take a role as team president or something along those lines

[Justice Hog]

I believe Gibbs will honor his contact and coach until it expires. I, for one, would be extremely surprised if he remained the head coach after that.

What I think will happen is that he'll be moved to a position in the front office, maybe GM, or something like that when we bring a new coach in.

[skins2357]

If our defense does not break down, GW will be the coach after next year. Gibbs will stay on as the GM in the front office. I dont think Gibbs can stay on as a coach and be able to give his all at his age and with his medical conditions. I dont think Gibbs would let himself stay on knowing he could not give his all. But I believe that he will want a front office position and he will go to bat for GW to be the next head coach.

[Justice Hog]

Are your sure GW will be the man after Gibbs? I'm not so sure.

If Bill Cowher wants to return to coaching, I would expect "The Danny" to throw a chunk of change his way to convince him to be the next Redskins head coach....causing a bit of "drama" for GW.

If that happens, I wouldn't expect GW to stay around.

[Chris Luva Luva]

If we bump up GW and leave Al as the OC, we'll be able to continue on with our progression.

I like Cowher but bringing him onboard will dismantle the coaches and possibly players.

Plus Danny won't like Cowher because he prefers a "traditional" owner.

I like Cowher cus he'd have the gonads to tell Danny where he could stick his 2cents.

You mean the same Cowher who said Jon Kitna was the League MVP right before the Redskins shut him down completely?

Being a bad TV analyst is not synonymous with being a bad coach

If that's your own reason for not like a super bowl winning coach... It's not worth responding to.

No, it isn't synonomous. I wouldn't want Cowher in D.C. because of the type of offense he runs. He would kill Al Saunders playbook, provided Al was still here. And Cowher would also interfere with Gregg Williams' defense because Cowher thinks he is a defensive guru. He may very well be one but GW is doing good things and I'd like that not to change any time soon.

[BnGhog]

Lets make Joe Bugel Head coach.

At least then we could keep both Al and Greg doing what they have been doing and Buges continue what Joe has been doing.

Parcells, Ditka and Jimmy Johnson are SuperBowl winning coaches. Would you want any of them?

[roybus14]

If we were starting over, yes, Cowher would be an excellent choice. But if there is a succession plan for Gibbs and it includes GW as HC and Al staying as OC, then we should be good provided GW has had digested his piece of "humble pie" from last year.

The questions that should really be asked are:

1. Does Al want to be a HC at this point in his career or is he happy here being an OC making HC money?

2. If GW succeeds Gibbs, will he retain Al as OC or completely revamp his coaching staff?

3. If GW does succeed Gibbs and Al stays, does GW give Al complete control of the offense all the way down to personnel decisions?

And lastly....

4. If and when Gibbs steps away, does Snyder then go after a legitimate General Manager to be the guy to make personnel decisions???

yepper gibbs racing is doing quite well and hope joe stays in it cause his heart is still in it.....
he,s a coach first and an owner second so i would imagine that id the danny offered hin 10 plus over two years joe might think about it,

[Chris Luva Luva]

Tell me where I said that I WANT HIM HERE? Find me that post.

I was simply stating pros/cons of having him here and the reasons I doubt he'd be hired.


IF I didn't have faith in our current coaches, I'd want him here. I feel that we need a coach strong enough to tell Snyder and his G/F to shove it where the sun doesn't shine and that until they win a superbowl they can't tell him jack!

I misunderstood you. I thought you were stating that just because Cowher won a SuperBowl he would make a good coach for the Redskins.
I think any coach would need not only the gonads but also the credentials to tell The Danny to butt out and there aren't many candidates who fill that bill.

[Chris Luva Luva]

What has Daniel Snyder accomplished in the win/loss column that gives him any type of "credentials" and/or stature to tell anyone other than Norv Turner or Steve Spurrier what to do?

What The Danny has accomplished is purchasing the team. The Danny thinks his signature on the paychecks entitles him to a say in everything. As far as The Danny being responsible for anything in the "Win-Loss" column, he isn't, but I'm not convinced he is aware of that.

[redskingush]

Jow will finish out his contract and as it looks with some of the moves Gibbs Racing is doing back to Nascar I would expect.

[Deadskins]

Well, not the "Win" column, anyway.
