Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

You knew it would only be a matter of time before we heard this crap again. I'm guessing we'll probably hear this each offseason until he actually does retire.

[quote]File this away dept.: There is some talk in the NASCAR circles that Redskins coach [b]Joe Gibbs[/b] is ready to walk away from the NFL and go back to running his racing teams. The word is Gibbs is not having nearly as much fun coaching as he once did. If he leaves, look for Redskins defensive coordinator [b]Gregg Williams[/b] to likely take over. Williams deserves another chance after his three-year run in Buffalo didn't end the way he wanted. He's a good coach who is as detailed and organized as any in the game.[/quote]

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

I think he will stay at least one more year

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

I call shiatty journalism. Some moron sportswriter making vague references to unsubstaniated rumours in an effort to drum up some readers. Ah crap, looks like it worked.

Speaking of crummy writing, anyone read the article on Sportsline by Clark Judge the other day about the formula to beat the Colts? Judge had a detailed outline that covered the necessary steps of making sure drives ended with points, taking away the Colt's playmakers, and limiting the Colt's points. That's just a brilliant, insider look at how to beat the Colts...or the usual formula for beating ANY NFL team ANY Sunday of the season. You could boil his entire piece of journalistic drivel down to this scintillating piece of advice: "Score more points than the Colts and you'll win!"

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

If anything, he'll retire after next season. I can't see him walking away after this season. We're so close to being a playoff contender....

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

I believe it was on Monday Night Countdown the other day that they said both Gibbs and Parcells would be back next season.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

Just read the chat transcript with 'Buges this a.m. from over at ES:

"I tell you, we can’t be any happier and I know we’re going to stay here until we get this program resolved and back to the Super Bowl. "

'nuff said. Hail.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

If Gibbs are Parcells retire, does Snyder go after Parcells?

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

Once both step down I believe it will be for the last time. Both are in their mid 60's and both have interests outside of football to keep them busy. Gibbs with NASCAR and Parcells with horse racing.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

I dont think Gibbs is going anywhere until his contract is complete (unless something drastic happens). I would not have a hard time believing that he is not having as much fun this time around, cap constraints, free agency, and agressive media to me would mean he could be having less fun.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

This stuff is nonsense. Gibbs is not retiring 2 years in to a 5 year deal.

That seems a little unlikely. There's no way fatty can outrun a horse.

No way does he stays five years.

[QUOTE=#56fanatic]No way does he stays five years.[/QUOTE]

Why do you say that? He has constantly said he intends to complete his contract. Earlier in the year, he blasted the media for questioning his commitment.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

In my opinion he will be back and nearly finish his contract or have them at a point where the organization is back at the top of the league. We have improved but he is not going to walk away after one poor year and another where we are average or slightly above average and leave the team no better than we were and what he knows this organization has had problems with consistency and a stabalized coaching staff. He will not play into that, he will follow through with his commitment to get the team back on track whether that is one more year or the contract length.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

I really think Gibbs will be here for the full 5 years of his deal. He's commited to turning this thing around.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

I really think Gibbs is committed to winning here. In no way would i see him leaving after this season. Of course, its not as fun as it used to be w/ the media scrutiny and a little bit of unrealistic expectations. On the other hand, i'm not sure i see him staying the whole 5 years. If he has some success the end of this year and next he may decide to pass the reins over to GW (if he's still around). Just my opinion.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

i also think coach gibbs will fulfill the contract.over the last 20 years or so just about the only thing that has been constant with our redskins has been joe gibbs word

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

Whether the team is turned around or not, he's gone when the contract is complete.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

no way he retires after this season. he'll pull at least 3 and i cud see him sticking out the entire 5 yrs.

While I agree this is a more likely event than Gibbs leaving early, I would not be surprised if he stayed past the 5 years if he felt the job was close but incomplete. He may stay on as Team President or some such capacity.

The man hates to lose and does not concede defeat easily (remember the Giants game? He went for the TD late rather than kick an easy meaningless field goal to avoid the shut out - I thought that spoke volumes about the man).

I think after his 5 years as coach, he'll still stay with the team in a front office capacity (probably President) indefinitely. Even it just becomes a figurehead role he'll still be a part of this franchise. He is a part-owner right?

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

I know Gibbs was a part owner of Atlanta before he came back. I didn't think he owned part of the Skins.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

He had to sell his part of the Falcons to come back.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

Can a coach be an owner of their team in the NFL?

Gibbs is here for 5, unless by some miracle we win the Super Bowl in the next two years. If we are on the right track (i.e., playoff bound, good cap numbers, relatively young players) , I don't see him staying any longer than his contract. He'll be 68 by then, so I'm not sure that he'll still want to put up with the stress.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

Joe Gibbs is a very rare breed in the NFL these days, he feels strong loyalty to his team. He genuinely feels that he owes the fans every opportunity to take the team back to the super bowl. It is definitely not in his nature to walk out on an agreement, even in an age when it has become so common to terminate these non-guaranteed contracts before their completion.

Gibbs will honor the entire contract because he feels like he owes it to the fans for caring so much, owes it to Dan Snyder for giving him the opportunity, owes it to his players to stick with them, and owes it to himself to show he can be great again.

Joe Gibbs is one of the few good guys left in sports, that's why he'll be here the whole 5 years.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

No way does he leave after this year.. I think he stays for all 5 years of his contract..

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

I think Gibbs will be here for the full 5 year deal, and maybe 2-3 after that.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

gibbs will definitely be back next year. he looks like he is having fun to me. and i saw something the other day that said he was commited

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

Oh no this cant be true. I sure hope not. scarasim

The NASCAR team does not need him with them just winning a championship. I would think he would be ready for another championship lets hope the next one comes in football. He is not going to leave the team like this. He has too much respect for the organization and I am sure he relizes that if he left now the organization would be going back just like when all the other coaches left. He will leave us in better shape than he did the last time. Lets hope.

It is still great to see him back on the sidelines wearing the R hat.

I agree, no way he walks before his 5 years are up unless he wins a SB.

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

:sleep: stupid writers making us stupid

Re: Here we go again: rumor of Gibbs walking away
 

Let's not forget, Joe Gibbs has a profound respect for the fans of the Washington Redskins. He mentions frequently how much the fans mean to him personally. Just think about the RFK days like I do, and then think about the win in Dallas and you say this man is a rare human being with an indominable spirit. I truly love and respect Joe Gibbs.
