PFT Rumor - Joe Gibbs is Coming Back

[SmootSmack]

Personally I don't believe Gibbs will come back. Maybe they'll make him a part-owner or something. But, I think at the end of the day Gibbs will realize (or someone will make him realize) that he's got too much on his plate and he's not the type to "half-ass" anything

One thing about Joe Gibbs is that he is not going to do just enough. If he doesn't think he can put his whole heart and effort into something, then he is not going to do it. I kind of have my doubts about it as well, although he does appear to have a kinship and passion for the Redskins. So, who knows? Maybe he comes in just long enough to hire a respectable GM and Coach and leaves again. Or maybe he comes in to just be a "public relations" type of guy.

At this point, I just want a change for the better.

Besides family what else is on his plate? Racing went on without him for 4 years and I'm pretty sure that all he does now days are PR type stuff.

Well family is a big thing. And he split time between NASCAR and the Redskins, during those four years. It's not like he completely abandoned NASCAR. And it's not just PR stuff. As owner of a Sprint Cup Series and a Nationwide team (not to mention his oversight of Coy's motocross team), that's 500 plus people he's overseeing but more importantly he's responsible for managing and renewing sponsorships (which is a major deal in racing), as well as dealing with some driver contracts that are coming up. Plus he owns and manages some indoor race tracks, and has his Game Plan for Life book/website/"ministry" and the Youth for Tomorrow center (which I don't think takes up a large chunk of his time)

But anyhow, he's got a lot to do. Fortunately for him, most of what he does is based in NC and his family is there with him so that makes it easier than say flying back and forth to DC

I haven't followed Gibbs since he left other than to hear about his book. Do you know how his grandson is doing? I would imagine that is a huge factor for him.

I haven't really inquired lately. I could ask I guess
