Redskins offer Gibbs two-year extension

Just reported on ESPN a few minutes ago. Snyder seems pretty confident.

Cool. This works both ways. If Gibbs is completely spent he can say thanks but no thanks and still leave under his own terms. I say he has a few more years left in him.

Very happy, hope he accepts

saden1 · 12-23-2007, 01:14 PM

This is just a lame duck masking extension. I wouldn't surprised to see him leave after next year.

We've only been hearing that since year 1 it seems.

If he agrees to a 2 year extension I think he will honor it.

Now I hope the Dolphins fire Cam Cameron and we hire him and groom him as Joe's successor.

You can't judge Cameron on one year. He's an offensive genius, I say if given the chance on a team that is ran properly he would flourish.

If so, it's good news. Believe the old man can still do it.

what happens to Greg Williams now? I hope he still stays and waits it out. There are going to be alot of positions open though. Could end up replacing Coughlin

Yep, i mentioned this before. He may get a little tired of waiting. Hope not.

MTK · 12-23-2007, 02:58 PM

I'd take Cam as a coordinator. He hasn't shown much so far as a HC or as an evaluator of personnel.

WaldSkins · 12-23-2007, 04:15 PM

i've always liked gibbs, i just think he should let his coordinators alone to do their jobs

GusFrerotte · 12-23-2007, 04:29 PM

Sorry, Gibbs II has been mediocre thus far. Even before the ST tragedy this team han't been up to snuff and playing so so football. WE need to get Cowher or someone in the NFL already to replace him and hopefully demand the front office change its tactics. I love coach Gibbs, but I don't see him really building a consistent winner here unless the basic philosophy of building a winner is vastly changed. WE rely still too much on expensive FAs and not that much on the draft or lesser expensive FA's. My point is unless we get a GM or the front office in Skins park comes up with a truly viable plan to build a winner, Coach is doomed to end his second stint wrapped in mediocrity. The man deserves better than that. On top of that he is getting up there in age. I say let him fulfill his contract and get him to retire. Guy is a winner and a HOF coach, but if the front office has its head in the sand or still entertaining notions of grandeur with high priced FA busts, then nothing he can do is going to get us to the big dance. I mean look at the WR corp. Our top receiver is Cooley and we have all these supposed stud WRs at our disposal. It is totally whack!!!!!!

This is a bad move for the franchise. We're going to lose GWilliams, Blache, and maybe Saunders due to this contract extension. Gibbs hasn't gotten it done, we might squeak into the playoffs this year, but I personally don't see it.

Expect another two years of us building for.. now and losing. I hate this move.

There's no denying what Gibbs did for this franchise in the 80s and 90s, but unfortunately for everyone it's not the Gibbs of the 80s and 90s. He's a legend for good reason, but he's had plenty of time and he's shown nothing but inconsistency.
