Gibbs Press Conference

Damn it was sad watching him walk out of his last presser. Thanks again, Joe. You'll be missed.

That sounds a little less like it's definitely going to be in house.

What did he say?

You will be missed JG! What an emotional presser and it appeared it took everything in him to keep from crying. Snyder was very emotional as well. It seemed clear to me that Gibbs "want's to make sure this job gets finished" and will be around as much as Dan wants him around.

Did they say who is going to be the next coach? Or make any reference as to whether GW is in line to take over?

Is the reason they might be saying they have to go thru the process is because the whole minority coaching thing?

No and no. Snyder just kept saying, "We haven't even started that process (i.e., looking for a new head coach) yet."

I read that as, "We need to contact Bill Cowher's people." They could have strongly hinted that Grilliams will be the next head coach without violating the Rooney Rule, but they did not. They could have said, "We are strongly considering Grilliams for the job," but they didn't. JLC has reported that, last year, Danny soured on the idea of Grilliams becoming the head coach. Danny has historically landed big name coaches (Shotty, Spurrier, and Gibbs). That to me suggests that they are trying to get Cowher.

Here we go again!!! If I here any rumbling about Pete Carroll I'm going to shoot myself.

The Rooney Rule definitely affects what owners & GMs say, ever since the lions got fined a couple years back.

There are a few angles to the Danny's words though; he doesn't want to reveal anything until it's final. He's tried to run redskin park this way for years but was more successful w/Gibbs at the helm - few secrets were leaked.

Also, he may want to see if GW gets some offers elsewhere to determine his market value. If GW doesn't get any offers, the Danny will offer him less or give him incentives. Just a guess of course.

PLease, say no to Cowher!

I hope there isn't big changes. I would hate to have JC learn another offense again.
