Reeves and Dallas contract negotiations having issues?

[SFREDSKIN]

From ESPN:

Dan Reeves, Dallas Cowboys can't agree on job - ESPN

[SmootSmack]

Reeves wants complete control of the football organization, or at least a guarantee that he is next in line to have complete control (and not say Mike Shanahan)

[BigHairedAristocrat]

On PFT, Florio speculated that Reeves wants final say over Jones... and thats never going to happen.

[sportscurmudgeon]

Being a "football person" in charge of "all things football" in Dallas is not all that different from being a "football person" in charge of "all things football" in Ashburn Virginia.

Recall the problems here the next time you fantasize about someone like Bill Cowher or Bill Parcells coming here to "right the ship" for the Redskins' franchise.

However, do not rule out completely a return to the Redskins by Joe Gibbs for a third time. That is not likely, but it could happen...

Gibbs back again? I think not. Gibbs "win-now with overpriced veteran players" philosophy put this franchise back years. He abandoned this team in its darkest hour. Hes ridiculously old. No thanks.

BHA:

I definitely do not think it would be a good idea to bring him back here nor do I think that it is even a 50/50 chance that he will return. But do NOT rule it out...

I definitely don't agree, I would instead argue that he helped guide the franchise through it's darkest hour. That playoff run was vintage Gibbs, and his leadership and guidance through the Taylor tragedy was unmistakable.

I agree wholeheartedly. Gibbs was a guiding light during our darkest hour. What this team accomplished during this time was nothing short of remarkable. As far as Reeves goes, isn't this just typical JJ behavior? The man is a control freak and an egomaniac. I'm so happy he bought the Cowgirls instead of some other team. GMScud often uses the word circus to describe this team. That is the best description I have heard and JJ is the ringleader.

If anything, I think you & Matty are even underestimating Gibbs' success here in his 2nd stint. He took over a team that barely had a pulse on the field. He got the team back to the playoffs more than anyone had since he left in 93, and he arguably laid the foundation for the future, especially if JC is signed for a long term deal. IMO, even if JC isn't signed & moves on (which would suck), Gibbs drafted a guy that will be a starting nfl qb for years. As Peter King said, Joe Gibbs taught Snyder how to be more patient.

How am I underestimating Gibbs?

Gibbs just made the inevitable come a year earlier, that's it. He guided the team under its darkest hour, which was when Taylor died.l

No way Gibbs comes back again, just no way. Have you seen him lately? He looks about 10 years younger.

And a whole lot happier.

This is the second or third time in the past few weeks you've said this SC.

I think if he comes back, it's as a part-owner/figurehead executive. I don't see him taking on any true responsibilities with the team anymore.

Love the guy, but let's move forward now

Now Marty coming back...that's another story

I do not believe that Marty will ever work for Snyder again.
