"There is no equivocation. I plan on going forward and being the coach again," Gibbs said. "As long as I feel like this is where I'm supposed to be, I'm going to be here."

Re: Gibbs will be back next year
 

Is the debate finally over?

Re: Gibbs will be back next year
 

Good. I kinda thought he would when he benched Brunell. He knew he needed to get the kid some playing time so that he could produce next season. It just makes sense for Gibbs to come back. Why would he wanna go out after this? He's grooming a young qb and he's got a good core. They need to tweak the lineup just a little, not blow the whole thing up and go ahead with the talent they have. I'm glad he's coming back.

Re: Gibbs will be back next year
 

Its funny this thread was right above the Gibbs must go thread. This is kinda old news which I heard him say that about a week or two ago. With all that has gone wrong this year I still believe that Gibbs can figure this out. It sould also be Saunders 2nd year with us and our O should have better grip on his play book. With all that has been said about GW he sould also be back next year because you cannot judge him on only this year. These guys have been around long enough to figure out what went wrong with this year and make the changes. I also feel that they will change how they approach our mini camps, training camp, and preseason. They took those way to relaxed last year which I feel was one of their biggest mistakes of this year.

Re: Gibbs will be back next year
 

This sounds really good. I read it when I was in "the office" for my morning drop off and I was happy to say the least. I say he brings back the coaching staff but I think some of the Assistants to assistants may be leaving. GW comes back again with a fire to right the wrongs of this year and the Crypt Keeper comes back and hopefully has his offense geared up and ready to go. I think Gibbs will have more input during the offseason as far as the "identity" of the O than he did earlier in the year. Looking at that Falcons game I think he had something to do with some of the plays and the formations. I'm f'n siced ! LET'S GO SKINS !!!!!!!!

yes, Gibbs will adjust all of that & will tweak his mgmt. style more than the lineup. He's proven he's a great leader & manager, I think every year he's made mistakes as he's learning the Team Prez job, but at the same time he's already learned from those mistakes & will be coming back next year under the radar.

GM in the offseason guys ?

Re: Gibbs will be back next year
 

Maybe they'll change the way they make draft selections and personnel decisions. All I want for x-mas is a GM. (no, please lets not start the great debate, its just an opinion)

[QUOTE=Citizens for 81;256037]Is the debate finally over?[/QUOTE]

No. I remember OBC saying he wasnt going anywhere. Gibbs hasnt given a completely straight and truthful answer to any question this season to the point I am starting to wonder if he's planning to run for political office. I do think he will return but if he did go I would not be shocked.

Re: Gibbs will be back next year
 

OBC didn't have a choice though, totally different circumstances.

nothing will change... we will not make the playoffs again under Joe Gibbs 2.0, i guarantee it. Just look at us compared to the rest of the division. Pencil Dallas in for the division for the next 2+ years. Philly continues to re-load. NYG have potential if Eli gets better. And they all have the flexibility to improve. We do not.

Plus, Joe Gibbs 1.0 was a genius. Joe Gibbs 2.0 is submissive and incompetent, to be blunt!

Re: Gibbs will be back next year
 

I guess this will put me in the minority here, but I would give the coaching staff at least one more season. I want Gibbs back. [I]As head coach only.[/I]

Give Saunders another year for his offense to integrate with these players, if we’re as incompetent and inept this time next season, then get rid of him. Williams has proven he can coordinate a top five defense, so I’m not going to throw him under the bus because the players that worked 2 years ago now appear old.

The only thing that needs to change is the director of player personnel. Bring Beathard back, Casserly, pry away Scott Peoli from New England ... something. Anything but the dopes that are in charge now. I know some will disagree, but even those people have to admit that the strategy we have used for the past three seasons with Gibbs, and every other year except for the ‘01 season under Schottenheimer have been an outright disaster.

sorry man. i just don't get the optimism. we are 4-8 this year. i'm just tired of this "we're going to go 12-4 this year" before EVERY single season. as much as i absolutely LOVE the redskins, and as much as they are a part of my heart and soul, I think it's time to start getting realistic about the team. we have made the playoffs 2 times in 14 years, yet people seem to think "don't worry, we'll be good next year" it doesn't make any sense to me. redskin fans over the past 14 years, me included, are the most overly-optimistic fans in the history of sports. i think it's time to realize that our beloved, great franchise is no longer that - great.

anyway, i am done with stating the way i feel about the franchise and the coaching staff. and i apologize for having such high expectations for the franchise that i love.

I agree. Since Gibbs is coming back with entire staff in tow, I hope that they FINALLY will acknowledge that they do not evaluate the draft and free agency well. Also, it would be nice to have someone who is 100% accountable for their selections.

Dont worry about it mason, most on this site dont want to hear the truth because right now as a redskins fan the truth (that this organization is a joke from top to bottom) hurts.

Let's all not forget he all of sudden left us back in the day to be with his son. He said "I felt a tickle on my cheek when he kissed me and realized he had a beard, so I need to be a father." We all respected that, but 3 seconds later he was working 18 hours a day in NASCAR. If someone gets on his case during the offseason, or if we lose out, he could very easily feel this is not where he is supposed to be.
I feel the above quoted comment is his "escape clause". Time will tell.

Re: Gibbs will be back next year
 

I don't believe he'll go down losing unless he feels he is being controlled and unable to do what he does best.

Good news. Finally some stability!

I agree. Even though we have had a disastrous season to this point, I can see some positives. I don't know about you guys, but I can see some sparks in the offense. Campbell has some growth to do, we all agree with that, but it appears he can create the sparks we need, and leadership we need to have a super offense. The offense (minus Brunell) is much more explosive. It just stalls due to inexperience at the leadership position right now. We were up 14-0 vs Atlanta and looked like we would destroy them, then we died. Give Campbell some more time and we'll be fine.
Saunders offense will succeed if we give it time. Williams is a great defensive coach...the D has done well the past two games...we just have no depth at CB. In a passing league, that spells huge problems. Bailey and Smoot are laughing at us now.
So, if we sure up the D with CB's next year, we'll see a huge difference. I'm trying not to be overly optimistic, but I can see where we lack, and if we fix it, we can make a sizable difference. 5-11 is likely, but I could see us pull a worst to first scenario next season.

and i will support the man from both sides of the fence ..
he wants to get this thing going in the right direction and he feels this is still the place to be.i will simply go thru this painful period to see this team back where it needs to be.remember this is a 5 year plan maybe more ...
i respected joes decision then and i will respect his decision now and i,m grateful he decided to come back..
and speaking of nascar he is doing great now winning 3 cup titles with bobby labonte,tony stewart,and now denny hamlin winning rookie honors and hopefully a cup title there too.he wins with the people and he knows how to get those people in the right places....might want to add JD gibbs has done great there since 1997 as joes team president of jgr.
time will indeed tell all ..for me i hope he stays until he gets it right from the front office to the sidelines and to the players and coaches....

i,m glad to see him put this thing to bed...

Re: Gibbs will be back next year
 

i was ecstatic when coach came back. im just as happy now

[QUOTE=dmek25;256124]i was ecstatic when coach came back. im just as happy now[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure I share that optimism now. I did when he came back, but what exactly does he do now? He has a plethera of outstanding coaches, so what is Gibbs doing to make him worth 5 mil a year? It's not motivation, it's not winning mentality. I know that sounds negative, and I'm sorry. I just think if we are going to win, it's going to be thanks to Williams, Bugel, and Saunders.
At least Gibbs is smart enough to agree with bringing in super coaches.
