What's Joe Gibbs' Job?

[dcweldon]

The Redskins are creating a new wave in coaching. If you look at how the team will be next year you will understand what I mean. What Coach Gibbs created last year, with Head Coach Offense and Head Coach Defense, he attempted to divide the Head Coaching Job. Coach Bugel was HCO as we all know and Coach Williams was HCD. With the hiring of Al Saunders he will become the new HCO, and Coach Williams will stay HCD.

Coach Gibbs said in his press conference when introduciing Al Saunders, that he would maintain a more figurehead role with the Redskins, but continue to be team President. If Daniel Snyder is smart (and he is, he knows that he cannot wrong Joe Gibbs) the team for atleast the remainder of Coach Gibbs contract will have two head coaches, splitting their respect duties to their respective sides, offense and defense.

Joe Gibbs is setting the team up to have Al Saunders and Greg Williams to be the Head Coache"s" of the Redskins for awhile, and there are other teams that will look to this to be an interesting concept.

Coach Gibbs needs to stay for one reason, to keep Daniel Snyder in check, and as long as he is not stressing himself out or loosing sleep like he did back in the 80s, he will be here for some time.

For who is going to be our competition next year, do not count out the New York Giants, or the Eagles. Sure the Eagles went 6-10, T.O. is gone and the pieces of their team that led them to 4 straight NFC Championships, are still there. Eli Manning is maturing as a quarterback in this league and if you doubted him as a rookie, you better not doubt him now. He has the command of his offense and that team, every player on that team believes in Eli and that team is going straight to the top. The Redskins still have alot of work to do, and with the coaches that have been put in place and this free agent firesale that they have done so far, they should win the NFC East, as long as they stay competetive.
