All he said is that usually before the year begins when a coach is in their last year they will either go ahead and do a contract extension if the parties agree. If you notice Snyder had no comment on the issue which is strange because of how much he thinks of Gibbs. That also tells me that Snyder may have other thoughts and if he didn't he would have said "that would be great" not "No Comment". I have backed Gibbs his 4 years but I'm not sold that he can take this team to the SB. I have no problems with him finishing out his 5 years but at this point I'm not wanting to see him sign any new deals until we see how this year ends up and how next year goes. We have had a bunch of injuries and the death of ST but allot of our losses were before these problems and games we should have won. I know people will say we had injuries from the 1st game but we also had a bunch of games we could have won and if we could have split those with a couple of more wins we would not be cheering on other teams for help.

Snyder doesn't comment on anything during the season so it's not all that surprising.

Gibbs should stay, i love having him around, but he needs to stand as either the head coach, or the GM. Not Both.

I'd sort of prefer to go with a new coach at this point but I wouldn't be completely pissed if Gibbs stays for another season or two.
That being said, doesn't he basically have to sign some sort of an extension so that he's not a lame-duck next year?

I was expecting Bill Cowher to come coach the Skins in '09 after Gibbs finished his contract. Cowher keeps saying that he will not coach next year, but has not ruled out '09 after his daughter graduates. It seemed like perfect timing for the Skins and Cowher.

That being said, I personally would like to see Gibbs on the sideline as long as he wants. I don't care what all the critics say about the game passing him by. I saw him do it before, I think he still has it in him to do it again.

Manusky - I actually think I'd rather have Kevin Colbert more than Bill Cowher. I think what people need to think about more than the coach is the FO (GM) behind the coach. Unfortunately the Steelers are smart enough to know that good GM's are hard to find and resigned Colbert to a 5 year extension. Here is a story about Colbert and below is qoute from the Steelers owner on Kevin:

"We are very pleased to have Kevin continue as an important member of our front office for years to come," said Steelers president Art Rooney II in a statement. "Obviously, he has played a vital role in our success over the past several years, including the Super Bowl title last season."
Colbert is in charge of the team's football operations, all player personnel and scouting decisions.

Steelers extend Colbert's contract

I looked at the FA draft class of 2008 and honestly there are some real studs and real duds. There doesn't seem to be a lot of people in between. This year, we build through the draft and maybe we could throw some bucks at SS and I's man crush, Justin Smith.

I had a man crush on Andre Carter a couple of years ago, and that's paid off nicely.

I think there are alot of folks who still need to eat some crow on Andre Carter.

I really hope this turns out to be the way Joe is leaning, not leaving until things are in order.

We are very close to being where we need to be as a team & organization.

This would be GREAT news if Joe stays.
