On game day, the buck will stop with him on all big decisions like going for it/punting, etc. He will encourage the fans to make their presence felt at home games.

2. He will stay for the duration of his five year contract and yes he needs to. Have we forgotten the the sorry state of affairs under Steve Spurrier already. The only reason that people can suggest that Gibbs might be unnecessary, is that Gibbs is SO NECESSARY.

3. Joe Gibbs seems to think he is a GREAT owner which works for me. All the hate from the media is the result of them needing an antagonist for their simple minded narratives.

4. Parcells will be the biggest threat in the East. Tampa will be tough because of their defense. Seattle is a threat for home field because of their lousy division opponents. The AFC will field a strong slate of teams again as well.

Don't quite understand your argument there. Joe Gibbs has a winning aura around him. Other than that, I can't see that Al Saunders + Greg Williams are not sufficient enough to win a super bowl.

Bottom Line, Joe Gibbs is why there here... But those who are here, are why we win.

gibbs is the face of the team, he runs all the PR (insane amounts of interviews) and makes sure everyone gets along. he can also over rule decisions of any kind and makes suer everyone does their job and has what they need (players, assistants etc)...

I have to agree with what someone said earlier....the giants will be a formidable foe next season, and perhaps our biggest threat. But lets not forget at the begining of last season the entire NFC east seemed as if they would stellar. Then McNabb was hurt and TO shitted on the eagles.... and Im not sure why but Dallas faded too. But the NFC east is always a tough division and I wouldnt be surprised if they all give us a run for our money.....But RobH Id tend to agree with you the Redskins will dominate this season. Its our year....and 6-0 in the division doesnt seem too far fetched

danny so far (since gibbs came here) has shut up and signed checks, and we haven't lost a player we've gone after yet. so over the last two years i'd say he has been a good owner.

I totally agree. I think Snyder has matured. He was fresh in the NFL (2000) and just went on a rampage and didn't have any guidance. The smartest thing he's done is give gibbs control. As far as being a good owner.... well we have Joe Gibbs, Al Saunders, Greg Williams and a staff unlike any other. I'd say he's done a fine job (as of recent) and he's gone above and beyond expectation as an owner.


We're a superbowl contender now, and we haven't been since 1992.

[WillH]

Yeah I have to give a lil "HAIL" to danny, he's signing players that make sense, and perhaps this is due to Gibbs' guidance, but hey he did get Gibbs to come back, which set up this stellar coaching trio....so Danny is the man...I wouldnt want any other owner...who else flies all their freeagent prospects in by personal jet....what other team has an online video stream of newly signed players going from press confrence to interview I love the redskins, and Danny is doing a good job.

Gibbs makes the team much more potent than the sum of its parts. That he isn't calling the plays anymore doesn't mean he doesn't have a tremendous impact on the team. Without Gibbs, I would not be so confident about 2006 looking so great. Sure, we've got loads of talent and good coordinators, but, without a doubt, he's what puts us over the top.

The Redskins are creating a new wave in coaching. If you look at how the team will be next year you will understand what I mean. What Coach Gibbs created last year, with Head Coach Offense and Head Coach Defense, he attempted to divide the Head Coaching Job. Coach Bugel was HCO as we all know and Coach Williams was HCD. With the hiring of Al Saunders he will become the new HCO, and Coach Williams will stay HCD.

Coach Gibbs said in his press conference when introduciing Al Saunders, that he would maintain a more figurehead role with the Redskins, but continue to be team President. If Daniel Snyder is smart (and he is, he knows that he cannot wrong Joe Gibbs) the team for atleast the remainder of Coach Gibbs contract will have two head coaches, splitting their respect duties to their respective sides, offense and defense.

Joe Gibbs is setting the team up to have Al Saunders and Greg Williams to be the Head Coache"s" of the Redskins for awhile, and there are other teams that will look to this to be an interesting concept.

Coach Gibbs needs to stay for one reason, to keep Daniel Snyder in check, and as long as he is not stressing himself out or loosing sleep like he did back in the 80s, he will be here for some time.

For who is going to be our competition next year, do not count out the New York Giants, or the Eagles. Sure the Eagles went 6-10, T.O. is gone and the pieces of their team that led them to 4 straight NFC Championships, are still there. Eli Manning is maturing as a quarterback in this league and if you doubted him as a rookie, you better not doubt him now. He has the command of his offense and that team, every player on that team believes in Eli and that team is going straight to the top. The Redskins still have alot of work to do, and with the coaches that have been put in place and this free agent firesale that they have done so far, they should win the NFC East, as long as they stay competetive.

Gibbs is like a high level manager in the corporate world. He delegates to his staff that he has total trust and respect in, and his main job is to oversee the entire operation. The addition of Saunders will free him up to be more involved with special teams and the defense, but I would expect his primary involvement will still be with the offense.

gibbs isnt micromanaging, and thats what makes him successful.

Joe Gibbs job is to win and who knows how better than Joe Gibbs. The guy has won 3 championships in 2 different sports. Who else in any sport has done that?
He is here for the full 5 years and longer if necessary. Most people forget the resaon he came her. He is here because his son wanted to get into coaching.
He set J.D up with the Nascar team and now he is getting Coy started in football. Not only a great coach but a great dad.

joe gibbs is the leader of the pack,makes sure everything runs smooth.

priceless would be the right way to put it,heck he can form a hockey team and win the stanley cup,he,s that good.dan synder is willing to win a championship and it shows for the money he puts out but this time he,s having a better understanding with the coach by his side in helping get the players he needs to put out on the field.how long will he stay he signed on for 5 years and i fully expect him to honor his 5 year contract.who will be our competition in 07 it can come from anbody we play but if this team jells quickly look out nobody will stop us but there will be somebody out there.nfc east be warned..

joe,s job is to oversee operations.
