1. This is NOT a done deal.

2. A similar offer was made to Joe Gibbs in the past and he turned it down because of "three sticking points".

3. Two of the "three sticking points" are still there.


I do not know what the "sticking points" were so obviously I don't know which one of them "disappeared".

The "source" says that there have been direct and specific discussions on the idea of Gibbs comng back to the Redskins - - NOT as head coach - - within the past 10 days.

Was Gregg Williams perhaps the 3rd sticking point or maybe AL Saunders? I am going to take a stab at it and say that Clinton Portis and Vinny Cerrato are the other 2.

Gibbs brought Portis in.

I know this he brought in Williams too, but you cannot argue the amount of headaches he caused.

Besides this is just a theory I'm not saying it's 100%, but it is possible. I am more inclined to agree with Matty that not all of the sticking points may be related to personnel. I just would be able to fathom the ones that are not related to people because I wasn't in his position. To this day, nobody really understands what the structure exactly was when he was here. Without knowing that it is difficult to determine what peeved him. Going with what I sort of know, Portis was in his office an awful lot for different “semi- disciplinary” reasons.
