That is a travesty to have Gibbs on a list that includes Randy Moss, Albert Haynesworth and Matt Millen. What a joke.

i agree...a shame. they'd have us cann the gibbs while in the same breath, ridicule us for never allowing chemistry to develope (time).

That's the ultra-fickle media for you. Your best friend one minute, your worst enemy the next. You would think last years' playoff run would have quieted some of this washed up, the game has passed him by talk.

I don't think that Gibbs should be on the same list as some of those guys but I do think that there is a kernel of truth in the sentiment. He has been a stellar coach and superb leader of the team over his distinguished career. However, if you look at things dispassionately then perhaps a move to the front office would be no bad thing. He is an offensive genius who doesn't call the offensive plays and he seems unable to generate any kind of chemsitry within the team. He's not getting any younger and we know that he is the type of guy who lives and breathes the game 24/7. Is he capable of that same intensity now?

Does anyone here really believe that Gibbs is going to win another superbowl with the Redskins?

Not as a coach but I do believe he will as a front office person.

I agree completely.

archuleta sure.

gibbs?

come on! that's crazy talk!

If SI thinks Gibbs has "worn out his welcome," they are just plain dumb. While the treads might be a little worn, I don't see a coup led by fans or players to overthrow Gibbs.

They should be citing Parcells as there seem to be a LOT of Dallas fans who question his playcalling and W-L production. I know a few Cowboys fans and virtually all of them say they would have liked to have seen Sean Payton become their HC.

yeah, and tuna's record since comin back is only slightlt better than Gibbs.'
This article is kinda placing blame on the organization more than Gibbs, but as noted on this thread, he's already a front office guy.

TheMalcolmConnection · 11-16-2006, 09:30 AM

He's basically a front office person right now as it is. As of right now, he seems like a motivator he keeps the troops going. He might have a final say on plays, etc, but I have a feeling Saunders and GW pretty much run the show.

The Zimmermans · 11-16-2006, 09:43 AM

Gibbs built this franchise, and now he's not welcome?????? That's like saying lumbardi wouldnt be welcome in Green Bay. Media is so moment to moment, hilarious.

If you can erase in your mind what Gibbs has done previously for us, and forget he's a 3 time SB champ, then how would you judge and rate him as a coach? I doubt there's one person here who would not be calling for his head on a silver platter!

As far as Gibbs moving into the front office? That scares me considering it seems personel decisions at least when it comes to players is scary.

I totally disagree. Let's say a nameless coach takes over a team in shambles, left bare by the previous nimrod. In addition this franchise has been down for as decade. A new guy comes in, acquires a bunch of new players and takes this loser team deep into the playoffs in just the second season. Everyone thinks what a great job he has done right?

Year three comes, and a few parts of the team unexpectedly fail, star RB gets a fluke injury and is never right, QB has trouble in a new system, and defense unexpectedly struggles. Team takes a step back.

You are saying in any other city this coach would be fired after one off year? No way. This is what Snyder would have done in the early years, but franchises that operate that knee jerk are usually perpetual losers.
