If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

This loss is frustrating enough to start with, but with the anti-Gibbs hate, we are just making things even worse. Honestly, if Gibbs steps down, who will his replacement be? I can't think of anyone on the spot that makes any sense, and if Gibbs goes, we need someone who can do a good job stepping in. We know how to have bad coaches, 7 years of Norv Turner, Spurrier, etc.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

Does anyone know if there are any good head coaches coming out in next years draft?

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

Joe Gibbs!!!!!!!

I bet Snyder is thinking the same thing.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

Al Saunders should take over and GW should stay on to coach the offense...
Even Russ Grimm would be a nice compliment for this team

Surely you mean DEFENCE?

Absolutely, dude. Maybe Grimm could coach the DB's and bring Spurrier in as DC. Could we get Art Shell as QB's coach?

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

I don't know who I'd get to replace Gibbs, but it would be someone with somewhat same philosophies as him. The players are in place, but for whatever reason we aren't consistent. I would like that person to have some emotion, be willing to take risks, not so much run oriented but have a consistent balance between the run and the pass, not someone who's made a big name for himself somewhere else, maybe someone who's been an up and coming coordinator and now wants to try his shot at being a head coach.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

Gibbs has done a great job of bringing in aggressive players; ST, CP, Moss, Randle El, Cooley, Landry, C.Rogers, JC, Fletcher, yet he doesn't make many aggressive play calls.

Or better yet, defense.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

I don't know who will be available, but I bet Cowher would at least get a couple calls from Snyder if Gibbs does leave.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

If Williams doesn't get the job, he's leaving and probably taking Blache and Grey with him. If he doesn't get the job when Gibbs leaves which I don't believe will happen until 2009, we have to start over on defense. Not to say that should decide the thing, but it has to be part of the equation.

I think Cowher is going to be the man. Remember the buzz in the preseason that he was interested in the Skins as a possible destination. Do you really think Danny boy is going to let GW or Saunders be the HC? THese guys suck!!!!!!! Danny boy will go for the sexy pick, always has, always will. Why? It sells tickets and merhandise guys!!!!!!!!!! I mean who is going to get all excited if GW is the new HC? Remember when Spurrier and then Gibbs were hired? Big commotion, BIG excitement. Nobody is going to get excited over some overpaid assistant coaches coming in, ones that have sucked as assistants for us. Cowher will get the money flowing, the excitement back, even if for just a little while like it did for Gibbs coming back.

I personally don't see Gregg Williams or Saunders getting the job no matter how Gibbs leaves this team or when he leaves as head coach. But at any rate, I say it's all a moot point until the season is over.

I don't see how anyone who's been paying attention to the NFL for the last 20 years could get excited by the prospect of Bill Cowher.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

If that happens Greg Williams will be our next head coach, Blache gets the nod at DC, and OC is up for grabs.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

New head coach? There's a guy I know, right here in Montana! He's like the winningest coach in NAIA history. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

Of all the stupid, shallow ideas, this one takes the cake. This team was nearly destroyed by Dan Snyder, and the only reason we have hope for the future is Joe Gibbs' leadership. It takes time to get the mess Coach Gibbs was handed into the team everyone wants. The building blocks are in place, but we need to get to a point where Jason Campbell has some more experience and we can get free of the injury bug.

Snyder changed coaches all the time and the people who want Coach Gibbs to be fired are just as faulty as Snyder was before he brought Joe back.

If Coach Gibbs is not here as the CEO/Coach, we are in trouble. I give Snyder credit for bringing Coach Gibbs back - Snyder knew that he would be run out of town before long if he didn't do something dramatic and let go of the reins.

I hope that Coach Gibbs will stay beyond his current contract, get the team into top shape, and then stay on as General Manager.

I think that as soon as next year we could contend for the Super Bowl title, if we have a reasonable injury picture, and Campbell continues to develop.

PATIENCE is what is needed. Any decisions based on short sighted impatience are only going to lead to misery for Redskins fans.

It almost hurts to say, but the Gibbs II era has been a lot like the Turner era, in that the Skins constantly embarass themselves by losing games they shouldn't. They show up on Sunday as the less prepared team, and I'm not talking X's and O's here, I'm talking mental preparation. That being said, what would be the point in replacing Gibbs? What coach is going to do a better job? Since he's been back, the Skins have been competitive. It's not his fault we have one of the worst defensive lines in the game, nor is it his fault 63.8 percent of the team is hampered by hamstring injuries right now. The problems run deeper than the head coach, and looking for the quick fix is definitely not the solution.

Thank you!! Another smart Bay Area fan that knows his football. Everyone, read this. PATIENCE!!!! You don't build a championship overnite.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

At this point, I don't really care who the coach is as long as it isn't Grandfather Gibbs. If we were able to switch players with New England, NE would continue being a great team and the redskins would continue being the redskins.

Your off to poor start Lewis.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

I think Lewis is right on.

Speaking of NE how about one of their assistants.

If we could just get one of Bellichek's hoodies, maybe that would help.

You have to go after either Russ Grimm, Norm Chow or whoever has Clevelands offense playing the way they do.

Holy Shit Batman! That's exactly what I was thinking when your post appeared.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

ima send a blank resume' in and ask for 40k a year to coach... i'll bet i can get at least 6 wins in my first year given the talent on the team and my passion for winning redskins football

that would be a story to make a movie about... let a fan coach for a year and see what happens!

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

thats what i was thinking 2. i think i could coach as good as they do. See ya later Betts....

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

How many reactionary, poorly thought out threads do we need on the same topic?

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

i still think Gibbs will be here atleast his last yr of his contract.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

If Joe steps down, and if we have a losing record, I think he will, I say let's clean house and bring in some new, young blood. If Joe can salvage this season, I'd be happy to see him and the rest of the codgers back for one more year.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

someone young who has something to prove, like a tomlin or mccarthey in GB. those guys are solid, even kiffin in is getting the raiders on the right path.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

I may be out of left field on this but my vote is for Russ Grimm. He knows how important running off-tackle is. The only problem is that he isn't the "big splash" that Snyder is looking for.

Please step down Joe. It is the right thing to do.

Re: If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?
 

This team finally has continuity in coaching and personnel, the last thing we need is an overhaul. If Gibbs leaves after this year, that could cause a lot of movement on this coaching staff. I'd prefer to see Gibbs play out his contract - I like the nucleus that he has assembled, and getting Thomas and Jansen back will be like adding two 1st round talents on the O-line. This team might be just one good draft away from competing for the Super Bowl. Let's go with stability for just one more year and see what happens.

As many as possible!!!!! My anger is moving from the skins and their heartrending failures to people I've never met on the internet! I am feeling better now, and MUCH more self-righteous! ;)

Gonna be a regular feature around the redskin nation, I'm afraid. You've also given a concise description of the Extremeskins message board--if you think it's bad here, check it out there!

I am in full agreement with your comment, BTW.

Not sure about the SB, just yet, but I agree that stability is a good idea. Let him play it out--there's no quick fix here.

How many playoff runs has this guy have or SB rings? Does Williams have any with the Bills? Guy has a tough as nails image also as a disciplinarian. Do you think of Gibbs as a disciplinarian? Folks will be talking if Cowher comes in for sure, or do you think Spurrier is goingt o give it another go or Tuna? You tell me? Snyder is a savvy businessman, and is all about the $$$$$$$$$. He will generate excitement to generate more revenue or at least keep revenue at the current level.

Yeah one more year, then what? What if '08 is a shitty season and then Cowher goes somewhere else in the meantime. You really want to get stuck with GW? Pete Carroll maybe? Gibbs is gone after '08 anyway and the movement you speak of is going to happen regardless. See how Coach handles the rest of the season. If it is a total collapse he needs to step down.
