My question to you jdlea, is giving a coach five years to clean up an organization is unheard of now days. Three years is being relatively patient. I think if we have another season such as this one, it's time to show Gibbs the door.

I definitely see where you're coming from and I was on the "one more losing season and Gibbs needs to be fired" side of the fence until recently. (I reserve the right to get back on that side at some point) However, I think they should just go ahead and give him some time IF he says that, should he turn it around, he'll stay on for more than those five years. I don't want to see him get to the playoffs a couple times (probably the best case scenario) and then leave. Given his age and everything, that's probably unlikely, but IF he tells Snyder that if he makes them a contender then he'll keep coaching the team for awhile, I think some patience is probably warranted.

What changed my opinion on the Gibbs being canned after another losing season is the fact that that would be typical Washington Redskins. One winning season, 3 losing, you're gone. Now, it would probably be typical of most other teams in the league as well, but I think they need to show a little more patience and restraint...don't get this twisted either. This is no way out of respect for Joe Gibbs's Super Bowl rings, I would be saying this about any other coach. There have been times this year that I've thought they'd be better off without him, but I think they need to honor that committment and give him some more time. I don't know if it will work, but I think they should try it. I don't want them losing another coach too soon like I believe they did with Marty.
