It appears that maybe Shotty knows a little bit more about how to put together a good team than Snyder. So, I think we should have given him more control.

Gibbs will coach until the end of his contract. GW is gone at the end of this year. All we can do is wish him well and hope he doesnt take too many of his D coaches with him.

why any skins fan would sound on marty s. is beyond me.he had this franchise headed in the right direction with actual football people running it and got fired for not giving daniel snyder any say in the process.i think in due time he would have the skins sucessful and into the playoffs

I agree completely. It's easy now that the skins have Gibbs back to say that getting rid of Marty was a good decision. Reality is it was a terrible desicion...Marty had the skins playing with heart and gelling towards the end of his lone season. Danny may have turned chicken shit back into chicken salad by bringing back Gibbs a couple years later but pushing Marty out on it's own was a terrible decision. Marty may have a bad playoff record but he is a very good coach and a well respected figure in the league which is exactly what Snyder needed at that point. I don't think there is any reason for us to rip on Marty...he has never said a bad word about the redskins even after Snyder broke all the promises he made to him 12 months later.

firing marty was a bad decision, not giving lewis the head job was a mistake... getting JG and GW is a total coup, but we've had more chances at great coaching than just about any franchise out there in the last few years.
