Smootsmack:

I believe that there is about a 10% probablility that Joe Gibbs will be back with the Redskins sometime in the next 3-4 years. Note, that is a long-shot to be sure, but the chance is there.

If he comes back, it will be in a football capacity. I think he would only be the coach again under dire circumstances; but if he comes back to the team, it will be in the football part of the operation. I don't think he will be a figurehead exec or a "show-pony minority owner."

Remember back when Gibbs resigned the first time and JKC kept Gibbs' salary checks in his desk uncashed. That was JKC's way of "leaving the light on" for him. Let me say without any more specifics that I am convinced that the Redskins have "left the light on" once again.

I agree with you wholeheartedly that Marty will never work with Danny Boy again. Neither party wants that to happen...

Marty and Dan get along more so than people seem to believe, but that's neither here nor there.

We're talking about Gibbs here (not sure why since the thread is about Reeves), and I suppose it's remotely possible as you say but it is definitely the last thing on his mind right now

Luxorreb · 02-06-2009, 04:26 AM

Do you guys remember me suggested Gibbs would come back? And then he did. Shocked the crap outta me. This time? No way, no chance. This team will have problems being consistant and competing against the elite franchises in the NFL until their is a football person in charge of football. Cowher, Parcells. Shit I say bring in Shanahan!

Back to Reeves, so apparently Jones put in an "hours clause" into his deal specifying how many hours per week Reeves would work?! I can see why a true professional like Reeves would be insulted by something like that. I mean the guy was already working before he even had a deal in place, going over the offense with Garrett and what not.

SmootSmack · 02-06-2009, 08:18 AM

Yeah JJ supposedly wanted Reeves to do all this work but wouldn't really put him in charge of anything. Reeves whole thing was "If I'm going to do all this, I better have some say"

Ultimately it's just another shot at Wade really, because I think he's the one that wanted Reeves in the first place

What is happening in Dallas and what is on this thread is making realize how similar the Redskins and the Cowboys are because of their owners.

I think Dallas is in a worst situation, especially since the sports pundits are always expecting so many great things out of them.

Oh yeah absolutely, no question. Because you know, Snyder is the team president and GM of the Redskins, his son ( a chemical engineer) is the EVP and Director of Player Personnel, his other son is in charge of the business operations, his daughter is another executive with the Redskins. Snyder forced Zorn to fire coordinators on his staff and bring in guys he wanted (Scott Watchamacallit, the new TE coach, that was alllll Snyder)...

2001 called, they want their overused, inaccurate generalizations about Snyder and Jones back

GREAT post. That last sentence was a gem.

Watch out Smooty, this guy is a loyal fan and will get upset if you question his loyalty. LOL. :smashfrea

I'm thinking of using your last line as a sig.
