Gibbs says it can be weeks...

#56fanatic · 01-25-2008, 04:07 PM

in a lot of peoples eyes he has all ready messed things up. I know people say he is covering his bases, but seriously. According to some new sources, which I will find dont worry, Jim Mora Jr had the job if he wanted it, Fassell had the job if they could have gotten the assistance nailed down. Some people out here seem to think that the reporters who cover this team from inside the locker room and outside dont really know what they are talking about. Even the insiders on ESPN who generally get the info pretty dead on more often than not seem to feel and hear that Snyder is screwing this thing up. That GW may not even take the job now, and Fassell may walk away too after what transpired the last couple of days. I for one will generally listen to the people who cover these guys for a living and know more than all of us here combined.

Plus, I have a friend who is a state trooper in louden county who does detail for the team and keeps in touch with some guys on the team, and he says they are none to happy about whats going on. saying the majority of the team is set on GW as the coach and think its incredibly stupid how this has dragged on.

Does anybody know the longest wait or the latest an NFL team has had to wait before they hired a head coach?

I thought Parcells leaving the Giants happen in April about 2 weeks after the Giants let B.B.(sp) go to Cleveland.

People tend to forget that owning a football team is not like playing fantasy football or stating your (a fans) opinion on a message board. It's no like Dan can hit a button say "oops I guess I was wrong" and every thing be okay. All decisions have major implications for him especially with the way the team was handled in his earlier years. There has to be a confidence in his investment (and for the sake of the future of the Redskins) that the average fan cannot contemplate.

If it was up to me, I'd still have Joe Gibbs as the Redskins' head coach. Since that's no longer happening, I want the best person for the job. If it's Gregg Williams, I'm all for that. If it's Jim Fassel, I'll support him. If it's Jim Schwartz, I'm interesting in seeing how he does.

At this point, I want Snyder to make the best choice for the team, whoever that is. The only thing I feel needs not to be changed is the players. Of course, there are a few exceptions to that, but for the most part, we DON'T need to blow up the roster.

Yeah seriously. Word up to that.

No thread hi-jack.....Just wanted to share a word from Joe about his plan moving forward:

Joe Gibbs Online > UPDATE ON COACH GIBBS: Week of January 25th, 2008

SBXVII · 01-26-2008, 01:00 AM

Lets see...Gibbs says it can take weeks.....for what? All the current coaches positions to be filled/replaced? lol. Weeks before they hear what's in store for them long after the news has been given to the media and the fan base. I'm not knocking Gibbs I'm knocking the person who sent Gibbs to talk to the staff and the next day leaks info to the media about whole sale changes. lol.

Skinny Tee · 01-26-2008, 06:11 AM

At this point I could care less who is hired as the new coach because there are going to be wholesale changes to staff and roster no matter what ends up happening.

The only gripe there is, is the obivous poor handling of the new aquitision of coaches. I'd be surpised if any coach looks forward to being here considering what the front office has trespassed on possible candidates/in house staff thus far.
