Return of Joe Gibbs - - Update

[Skinny Tee]

No former Skins greats should be involved in our management structure.

Doing this only cements to me that Snyder is more concerned with catering to the public opinion and not putting the right people in place to building a competitive team.


Doing this only leads to more of the chicanery that Dan does just to gain the good graces of the fans. Really...he only shows that he's interested in keeping the stadium seats filled and doesn't show any due diligence in actual football operations.


Enough with the former players and coaches...just say NO!

I agree with what you're saying regarding Snyder and his motivations for bringing Gibbs back yet again. Personally I think Snyder believes this will serve a dual purpose by improving the team on the field and filling the seats/appeasing the fan base. However, I think having Gibbs on board in a team president kind of role will only make us better. Gibbs is smart enough to put the right people in place to make football decisions, and Snyder has shown that he'll defer to Joe in that regard.

And let's not forget, Gibbs is the only person allowed to call Mr. Synder "Dan." That's all you need to know really.

I just don't want Gibbs making any GM decisions. Otherwise, I don't think there's anything wrong with appeasing the fanbase and bring someone (Gibbs) that will make the right choice in picking the right people to run the team.

Exactly. Which is why I said he'll put the right people in place to make football decisions. I actually think he's a brilliant selection for team president, as long as he hires a solid GM. The man is without question the best leader in franchise history.

My only concern would be how he would delegate between NASCAR and the Redskins. If it was going to be a 50-50 split, I wouldn't sign off on this deal. He'd need to be all in. I know he'd still do work related to his racing team, but I'd want his majority focus to be our team. Maybe after two full years devoted to nothing but NASCAR, he has the people in place to take charge of that thing full time.

I hope so, otherwise, no-go on Joe.

There's plenty wrong with appealing to the fan base. Your average fans have full-time jobs, kids and other time consuming pursuits that are necessities to daily life. God bless the average fan but most really don't know what is fundamentally wrong with the team.

They shouldn't be relied on to provide the basis of our football solutions.

I don't want Gibbs in a GM type role. I feel as if he's a large part to blame for our current problems. Too much of an emphasis on veteran players and not enough on young players. Not to mention, we need a proven personnel guy in DC who can start shaping this team into a long term winner.

Yeah I find that pretty funny cause Gibbs ALWAYS call JKC "Mr. Cooke." Even after he died. But Snyder doesn't need Gibbs. All he has to do is hold a press conference and let everyone know you're getting out of the way and hire Chris Polian or Floyd Reece. He'd get the fans back on his side right away if he did that. Oh yeah....and fire Vinny
