Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

I just hope he stays around in some capacity.

Honestly, I'm pretty upset about this news.

Re: HOLY SHIT, Joe resigns
 

Personally, I'm happy about it. I want a younger ambitious coach. Gibbs helped stabilize the franchise a bit, but didn't build too much for the future. We can finally get back to normal discussion here and have people say their feelings.

Change can be good, but it isn't seamless. Very rarely does a brand new coach come into an organization and have them ultra-competitive the same season.

2008 could be a long, long season.

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

I am REAL disappointed about this!!! just when you thought it could not get worse. I wonder if Greg takes the helm?

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

Nothing on Redskins.com as of yet, nor on JLC's blog.

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

I imagine that GW will take the helm. The question then becomes: what goes on in the FO? Will Saunders stay as OC? If Saunders goes, bye bye Collins.

Ahhhhhhhh.

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

I am very surprised. I really thought he'd be back for his final year.

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

I would think Williams would get the nod and Al Saunders sticks around. My question is what about Bugel and the rest of the gang?????

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

Who will replace him? Bill Cowher? Cam Cameron?

Gibbs will remain the best Redskin I ever knew and he will always remain the face of the team.

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

He'd been talking for a while that he would fulfill his contract, and be here 5 years. This really surprises me, as he's got this team to a point where the development is going in the right direction. He'll surely be missed...

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

Pray that Snyder has learned something in these last four years, cause if he goes back to the "quick fix" days - we are going back to the cellar.

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

I'm bummed, I thought he would at least finish out the 5 years and I was really hoping for more. I just hope we can build on the continuity we've got going and not tear things apart too much as far as the coaches go. I'm guessing this means some of his right hand guys like Bugel will be leaving too.

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

Greg? Cowher??? Pete Carroll???

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

can't see the skins going outside the organization for a new coach.on the same hand,i can't say that williams ,sanders,or any other current coach on the staff are great head coach material either.

Re: Gibbs to Resign as HC/President
 

Williams is the only answer at this point while retaining Saunders.

Think of it...who else is strong enough to come in and flush the coaching staff and start again...especially from a personel standpoint....
Cowher?
Other than him....no one that is available could pull that off.

Right now, what this team needs is stability and a steady hand...that screams Coach Williams.
