Joe Gibbs is the man

[heybigstar]

Hands down.

He is a winner across the board. In sports and most importantly life. In the 12 year span, beginning in the early 1980's, he came to DC and led the Redskins to a glorious run with a perennial playoff power that brought the franchise its first three Super Bowls (not the last of course). Joe left football and moved on to NASCAR, where Joe Gibbs Racing became one of the pinnacle racing teams in the history of the Nextel Cup. As recently as right now, Joe Gibbs Racing is the defending Nextel Cup champion behind their charismatic, heart-filled driver, Tony Stewart. All throughout, Joe has been a magnificent husband and father to his children. He lives by his code of ethics, through thick and thin.
On top of all of this, Joe Gibbs returned to the once proud franchise, the Washington Redskins, who for 12 years had been perennial losers, lacking consistenty in personel and camradarie. God bless him, and I want to share something, put something on display, with my fellow warpath members:

Sounds good, just don't look at his win/loss record from the return...

I think it's a little unfair to judge Gibbs II based on 1 1/2 seasons. Gibbs came back to a totally different NFL. Gibbs said he has felt like he had to learn the ropes all over again and I believe him. We usually don't toss out or judge a new coach after 1 1/2 seasons (unless you are Dan Snyder).

every time we lose or something doesnt go the skins way,i look back at all the chaos that surrounded the skins before coach gibbs came back.we are now run by arguably one of the greatest coaches to ever coach in the nfl.next year will be a very big year for the skins(but im not giving up on this year)with 2 years under his belt,and basically the same players,next year will be the first year where this is actually his team.in gibbs i trust

said it before and say it again,"IN GIBBS WE TRUST".

He is the best coach would could possibly have.

End of discussion.

I couldnt agree more! I love seeing these spirited posts...makes me remember that we have the best fans in the game!!! I am proud to count myself among you guys!!!

All true stuff. Gibbs is just as unhappy about where the team is now as we are. More so, probably. I think he is committed to taking this team all the way and will be here for his entire contract and maybe even beyond if that's what it takes. I think Williams will also stay until the job is done. I love this coaching staff. The team is not great yet, but it will be...it will be.

it takes patience. some of us just don't have it. we can cheer for the colts to go undefeated if we ever get mathematically eliminated.

Patient?? Patient?? We have been bad for over 13 years! One playoff appearance in about 13 years?? Patience you say. Look at the Bears and Tampa....who were just plain bad last year.......playing Orton and Simms respectively......and are good solid football teams this year. Patience.....I don't know if you've noticed, but patience is not something the NFL is predicated on.

the redskins and Dan the man are certainly not based on patience. I dont know if they know what that means. Which is why we do the same crap every offseason. throw draft picks away, pay too much money for players in their 30's and some in the mid 30's.

This franchise became plainly disfunctional after JKC's passing. Snyder brought a mentality of (1) thinking he knew more about football than he did, (2) impatience (win now at any cost with overpriced veterans), and (3) Vinny must be good cause he wears starched white shirts, suspenders, and likes my cigars.

Into this pathological mix comes Joe Gibbs, who has to reassemble a staff from scratch, re-learn certain aspects of the game and flat out learn how to beat our division rivals . . . and . . . fit into a Snyder-Cerrato led front office (the very people screwing up the team over recent years).

Maybe there's more needed here than just Gibbs, even though I trust him to keep steadily improving the team. (Have I mentioned VC?)

[Southpaw]

I am perfectly willing to wait a few years for Gibbs to get the team straight, and molded the way he wants, but my main concern is his patience level. If he were in his mid 50's, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for him to coach 10+ years, but he's 64. He's not going to be wanting to deal with the 80 hour weeks, grueling all night film sessions, and constantly being under the media microscope for too much longer. I'm thinking he has two or three more seasons left in him at the most.

[celts32]

Fans who are young and have not seen the 1st Gibbs run have no patience this time around and the older fans over 30 do have patience. The older fans also have an emotional attachment to Gibbs. I think you will find this to be the case more often than not.

I am not saying I blame the younger fans either...if you are in your early to mid 20's you have pretty much seen the Redskins do nothing but lose for your entire life and it must suck...
