If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?

[Darrell_Green_28]

i still think Gibbs will be here atleast his last yr of his contract.

[Twilbert07]

If Joe steps down, and if we have a losing record, I think he will, I say let's clean house and bring in some new, young blood. If Joe can salvage this season, I'd be happy to see him and the rest of the codgers back for one more year.

someone young who has something to prove, like a tomlin or mccarthey in GB. those guys are solid, even kiffin in is getting the raiders on the right path.

I may be out of left field on this but my vote is for Russ Grimm. He knows how important running off-tackle is. The only problem is that he isn't the "big splash" that Snyder is looking for.

Please step down Joe. It is the right thing to do.

This team finally has continuity in coaching and personnel, the last thing we need is an overhaul. If Gibbs leaves after this year, that could cause a lot of movement on this coaching staff. I'd prefer to see Gibbs play out his contract - I like the nucleus that he has assembled, and getting Thomas and Jansen back will be like adding two 1st round talents on the O-line. This team might be just one good draft away from competing for the Super Bowl. Let's go with stability for just one more year and see what happens.

As many as possible!!!!! My anger is moving from the skins and their heartrending failures to people I've never met on the internet! I am feeling better now, and MUCH more self-righteous!

Gonna be a regular feature around the redskin nation, I'm afraid. You've also given a concise description of the Extremeskins message board--if you think it's bad here, check it out there!

I am in full agreement with your comment, BTW.

Not sure about the SB, just yet, but I agree that stability is a good idea. Let him play it out--there's no quick fix here.

How many playoff runs has this guy have or SB rings? Does Williams have any with the Bills? Guy has a tough as nails image also as a disciplinarian. Do you think of Gibbs as a disciplinarian? Folks will be talking if Cowher comes in for sure, or do you think Spurrier is goingt o give it another go or Tuna? You tell me? Snyder is a savvy businessman, and is all about the $$$$$$$$$. He will generate excitement to generate more revenue or at least keep revenue at the current level.

Yeah one more year, then what? What if '08 is a shitty season and then Cowher goes somewhere else in the meantime. You really want to get stuck with GW? Pete Carroll maybe? Gibbs is gone after '08 anyway and the movement you speak of is going to happen regardless. See how Coach handles the rest of the season. If it is a total collapse he needs to step down.

How did Bill Cowher suddenly became the answer to everything?

Yeah, how many seasons did it take for Cowher to win a SB?

He is not the answer, but shit Gibbs isn't, and who is going to take over when Gibbs is gone regardless of if he steps down or stays for the full term? Nobody decent is coming out of the college ranks(maybe Carroll of USC). The best coaches in the NCAA know they have it nice and cushy if they are proven winner already. Any decent assistants out there capable of being a HC? Shoot we got two of the top assistants here already. We need a younger guy that still has fire in the belly still and is a proven winner in the FA era. I mean WTF!!!!! Are you going to keep hiding behind injuries to defend Gibbs as god still? I mean come on, enough is enough. Cowher is the best candidate right now, and if Gibbs stays then Cowher might land somewhere else. This is more than just Gibbs. it is about post Gibbs. Post Gibbs II might look as bleak as post Gibbs I unless we get a true proven winner. Sorry guys, there isn't much out there in the vet coaching pool but Cowher. You want to try GW as HC? Saunders? I don't think so

First of all, you guys don't have enough patience to wait for Bill Cowher to give us a Super Bowl title. Secondly, Pete Carroll has already tried his hand at the NFL. He was left with a Super Bowl team in NE (thanks to Parcells) and brought the team down to being an 8-8 team. No thanks.

[henry12portis26]

COWHER... he said he wasnt coaching this year or next... Gibbs has said before a couple of times he wants to be true to his word and finish his contract ... We have had rumors surrounding talkin' to Cowher .... coincidence? He already has something in place with Danny boy .... Cowher will replace Gibbs!

I would just like the playoffs to be honest. The SB would be nice, but to be able to win the division and make the playoffs yearly would be great. At least we would be a winner. I don't want Carroll either, I was making the point as to why we should go for Cowher. And Skins, you better think about post Gibbs, because it is going to happen soon.
