If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?

The expectations were so massive when he came back. I know the day they announced his return I was screaming like an idiot and running laps around my living room. He made the playoffs in what, 10 out of his first 11 seasons here? Was it so crazy to think we'd be a contender after a season or two? He's brought stability back to the organization. No question. Unfortunately the wins haven't come with it.

With stability comes the wins, but it's not an overnight success. Gibbs is trying to undo the losers mentality of this team that has hung around ever since he left the first time. I honestly don't see how he could do that within five years let alone three or four. But like SS said, this season is far from over, and if this team makes it to the post season this year, then it moves up closer to turning the corner next year. I mean, I can only imagine having a young QB who has playoff experience with a team that was riddled with injuries. There are a lot of positives to this team. Unfortunately for us, it has been the little things that have kept us from turning the corner earlier.

If we were getting blown out in ever loss we have had since Gibbs has come back, then I'd be worried, but that isn't the case. There is a fine line between being a top team and being a losing team. I believe you make a coaching change now, and you remove all doubt that this team's stablity will be gone, and everything we have worked up to at this point will be scraped.

I don't think for one second Gibbs should leave now. But how long is the leash? We have almost all of the same problems we had in his first season, and it's not getting much better. I think pending the end result of this season, you have to consider other options.

If we make it to the post season? are you being serious? we just lost at home to the Eagles, who are horrible by the way. Were not going to the playoffs and if we do were losing in the first round. Until Gregg Williams pulls his head out of his ass and stops this rediculous zone defense, this team will continue to get burned.

Way to have faith.

I've been critical of the team, but how can anyone say that we're out of the playoff picture? The NFC sucks out loud. Even with this bad loss, we're only one game out of the wild card, and finally showing signs of a viable passing attack to complement Portis. While I'm not overly optimistic about next week, 9-7 is still very doable, and that should be good enough for a wild card.

Five years? It didn't take that long for Gibbs to turn it around in his first stint, and the Skins were down in the dumps then too. There are just way too many uncharacteristic issues this team has with Joe Gibbs leading them.

I agree that Gibbs shouldn't step down quite yet. Only problem is, does he agree with us?
