Joe Gibbs is a great person and possesses certain qualities that are rare and valued in a leader. And yes he built a great racing organization, but his success here in Washington was because he had capable and intelligent men around him from top to bottom.

Exactly why we need someone like Joe Gibbs or someone who has the respect that Gibbs carries in Washington so that we can hire those capable and intelligent men from top to bottom. Look at the process that the Redskins franchise went through in finding a head coach before last season: Who the heck hires all the coordinators before the head coach? Only to wind up promoting one of those coordinators to head coach because Snyder and company drew the process out so long? I don't see that as being intelligent or capable of building a great franchise. I understand being careful and not just hiring the first guy that comes through the doors with a resume, but geez, how many of the playoff/elite teams went through that same process to hire their GMs and coaches? What we have right now is broken. Gibbs does have CEO knowledge and football knowledge. Dan Snyder went bankrupt with six flags for pete's sake! Gibbs certainly isn't the only choice, but I would trust someone like him over Vinny.
