While I like the thought, you're out of your mind if you think Gibbs would take a step back to being an assistant. Even if he were just a figurehead and Grimm were the actual head coach, the title would stay with Joe. Also, who's to say that Grimm wants guys like Saunders and Williams coaching under him? That's the biggest problem I have. The idea that it could mean a whole lot more turnover in coaching staff.

While I won't argue that this group has been little better than mediocre (maybe better) I will argue that they need more time. I think Joe should get the five years he signed that contract for. He should get the opportunity to try to turn this thing around. I hope they only do some minor tweaking this offseason, not the typical "Redskins approach" to the offseason.

So, I guess I'm against the idea. Now, if this were next year and we were having this discussion after another losing season, I might be in favor it, just not at this point. I do understand your concern about not having the opportunity next year, I think that's a chance the Redskins are just going to have to take.
