At what point would a skins fan be justified in calling for Gibbs' resignation?

[MTK]

We let the wrong coach go when Marvin Lewis was here.

Now Marvin is stuck in Cincy with a bunch of misfit juvenilles. I think in hindsight, no knock on Gibbs, his temperment would have meshed well with the current set of players we have.

He's built that team full of felons though.

If there is one thing this team needs desperately it is stability. Gibbs 2.0 has not been too bad this time around and changing coaches wont change anything.

i am probably as displeasd with gibbs as anybody (for many reason- one being the hiring of saunders), but asking for his resignation is not the way too go. washington has been riddled with coaching changes, we need a constant. gibbs is that constant. let him remain...bring back all the coaches, give them the opp to finish what they started. takes a few years for people to learn systems....
its going to be hard enough on JC next year- lets not make him learn a new system.

I will always be a yes man for Joe Gibbs no matter what. He deserves nothing less than to honor his five year contract. I tend to be more patient with coaches like Joe Gibbs for a couple reasons: First reason is obvious in the fact that he is a proven leader and has had alot of success as an NFL head coach. Second reason is that I am tired of this coaching carousel. It has proven nothing for us in the past decade and a half, except to stunt any growth that this team might have had.

I truly believe that lack of patience is what has hurt this team in the past. Owners, coaches, and fans alike need to learn that in this era of instant gradification, we have to relearn patience. Gibbs isn't God, he's human like everybody else. I believe he has tried to do exactly what is needed for this team. It just hasn't happened exactly the way he had hoped.

I don't disagree. He's got the job as long as he wants it. One thing we cannot, ever do is remove the HOF title in front of his name. I suspect this is his last year. Two disapointments sandwiching a PO year are the final chapters in the HOF Coach Gibbs legacy.

I agree, Irish. The only point I'm making is failure is failure whether we're talking about Joe Gibbs or the newest coach in the NFL. And I think it's possible that we sometimes become jaded by past success or reputation when dealing with certain individuals that we've endeared ourselves to.

I'm not advocating a switch by any means.

Call it what you like, but Your the coach. You have two QB's, one has to go. Both on the back of side of a losing season You have Joe Montana, and Heath Shuler, who goes???????????? Losing is not losing, as Montana will bring you back and Shuler......well

I agree here, which is why Im wary of Joe Gibbs. He's in win now mode, not build for the future mode. Something we're not ready to do yet. I think he's a solid head coach, but he's right around a middle of the pack coach in this day and age. He's certainly not a top 10 coach anymore.

I disagree, drafting Campbell was done with an eye on the future, which is now thankfully.

[Skins fan 44]

I will never turn my back on Joe Gibbs.

[irish]

I agree 12th, if his name was Joe Dibbs he'd be gone. He's getting whatever benefit of the doubt he's getting because of what he's done in the past, because what he's done currently is not any better than OBC did.

[Pocket$ $traight]

I don't think the fans have the right to call for his resignation but if you disagree with the direction of the team we all have a vote.

Refuse to purchase tickets and merchandise and if you are a season ticket holder, go out of your way to sell your tickets to opposing fans. That should get Snyder's attention.

[RiggoRules]

It is all about the rings on Gibbs hands.

As a result, there is only one person who is in a position to call for Joe Gibbs to resign:

Mrs. Gibbs.

Dan Snyder isn't going to. Some bitter reporters and talk show hosts might, but who cares.
