That's a thought that scares the hell out of me.

Al and Gregg already made a majority of the personnel decisions under Gibbs.

I really don't think anything is going to change. I think Williams will be named the next coach, and Saunders will keep his position. I think Blache gets to call the defensive plays.

Joe built this coaching staff to be structurally sound once he left. I don't think one thing is going to change this offseason.

Now, if the team regresses massively next season, there could be total chaos and upheaval. For right now though, things should stay the same.

Well none of us saw this coming. The fact that he won't be back anything but a small capacity is even more surprising. Hopefully we'll get a GM so no one will ever say we need a GM ever again.

That depends on whom the GM may or may not be!

After i heard the press conference yesterday i got that feeling...I had a dream last night GW was the new head coach of the skins.

I wish JG would have stayed for 1 more year. If not JG i'd like to see GW.

The first time Joe Gibbs retired, my wife came home and saw me on the floor in my Redskins Room decked out in my Skins gear....Hail to the Redskins was playing and I had 3 candles burning....one for each Superbowl victory.....she asked.....
Who died? I responded, "Joe Gibbs just retired"

I knew what was over and what was coming....but 1 playoff win in the next 12 years....yikes.

For some reason, though slightly shocked, I don't have that same feeling...perhaps its because I'm 40 now and not a complete psycho, or....
it could be because the team was well prepared for his eventual departure.
It just seems a year too soon.

Joe,
Thanks for being such a good influence on the Redskins organization and fans everywhere!!
You will be missed much more than how many wins you produced

Yes, she's a good one.
One thing...she always seems to have somewhere to go at 1pm-4 on Sundays.
I just can't figure out why

Down day for the Skins, but Coach Joe leaves us waaaaay better than he found us. Promote from within and let a new day dawn!

Agree completely.
The roster Gibbs started with from Spurrier just flat out sucked.
He built a TEAM.

Thanks Gibbs for your hard work these last 4 years.
We will forever remember the Blowouts of Dallas, and the miracle comeback against them too.
The 5 game and 4 game runs to make the playoffs and your class handling the Sean Taylor situation.

You will forever be a Redskins Hero

Man u hit it on the head!!!!!!!!!! great post.........

Being 67, dealing with the death of Taylor, facing the same possibility with his grandchild with leukemia/cancer, he needs to focus on his family.

It was a great run. Despite what anyone says, I'm glad he came back and rescued the team. He has actually turned Snyder into a good, smarter owner and set up the team with a bright future with a ton of young talent. Playoffs two of the last 3 years despite HORRIBLE luck with injuries to star players every year, plus he's put a great staff in place. Greg Williams and Al Saunders will likely stay around and I believe Williams will be very successful. The game has changed since Joe's first stint, but Williams knows today's game better and is more aggressive.

Thanks for the memories, again, Joe.

I would mess myself if we got Scott Pioli or Floyd Reese.
