Re: Return of Joe Gibbs - - Update

I only wish that Gibbs had stood up for Gregg Williams when Vinny was throwing dirt on GW. As President of Football Operations, Joe's opinion would have carried greater credence with Snyder than Vinny's. If Gibbs does come back, I want it in more of a CEO role, where he puts the best GM in place, and leaves it to that guy to help select the coach and the future personnel. Gibbs 2.0 personnel record was spotty at best. Sean Taylor, and Chris Cooley from his first draft were home runs, but much that came thereafter in FA and the draft has vastly underachieved.

Gibbs had already stepped down at that point. That's why we were looking for a new HC to begin with.

Re: Return of Joe Gibbs - - Update

Joe apparently did not want Vinny when he came back and it was at Danny's insistance that he accepted him. He also said that his choice for his successor was Greg Williams as that was the first thing he did (went to Buffalo on Snyder's plane) when he became the coach of the Redskins in 2004. Gibbs has a pretty good idea of how to build an organization, I only wish Danny had not thrown it all away!

So if Gibbs came back, do you think Danny will suddenly take his advice and recommendations? \

Just asking an honest question here.

That is the million dollar question with Snyder and not just in reference to Gibbs. If he's going to abdicate to anyone it think it would be Gibbs.
