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

And then face the possibility of having to make a hard decision like saying he's not getting the job done

Glad you clarified that, Tafkas. I'm actually in the minority who (while certainly disagreeing with a number of his decisions) has nothing but respect for Snyder.

That said, you are 100% correct. Being the boss of someone who isn't just a hero to you but a hero to a very large percentage of your customers -- that would be major stress.

Gibbs is a hall of famer.With that being said.... I think he is intent on honoring all 5 years on his contract. I think the move to JC may show intent on staying. Reload and give it one more shot with JC running the show. That is if JC actually pans out and time will only tell.

Never.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I kind of think the only time you'd ever want to change your head coach is if you can get somebody better than the guy you have now.

Um... who's better than Joe Gibbs?

Williams? Saunders? Charlie Weis? I don't think so. He stays until someone better is available. And I think you'll have a hard time finding one.

blame the owner not the coach/team president...joe gibbs will be here until this ship is headed in the right direction and once it,s headed that way he may even have second thoughts until he wins another SB.
joe gibbs has and always will be extremely loyal to his veteran players brunell is the the exception...so i,m no yes man i will ride it out for as long as it takes to get this proud franchise back where it truly belongs and this franchise will have joe gibbs in it when it does come around...
when will it be time ..i,ll let joe gibbs decide for himself when and if that time comes but until then he will stay until he gets it right if not then maybe it ,s time....

and thats my 2cents worth..

j. gruden - struggling O even when simms was healthy

You are aware Gibbs and the Skins have all the same problems with the exception of Gruden.

Gruden only had Simms for 3 games this year.

When hell freezes over...so I am a yes man as well.

As I have said before when you run Joe Gibbs out of town you may as well board up Redskins Park becasue Joe Gibbs IS the Redskins.

If i have to trample on Joe Gibbs to win Super Bowl #4 then I am content to stick with only 3. And I am a season ticket holder also so i put my money where my mouth is...

At that point a fan would be justified in calling for his resignation.

Unless he has an excuse.

Exactly!

I hope Gibbs stays for the remainder of his contract. And if He wants to stay longer give Him a new one. Sure we my not be playing good football right now. But does anyone really believe there’s a coach out there that could do a better job the Joe Gibbs?? Are beloved franchise has sucked since Joe left in 92’. This is only his third year back Joe Gibbs is not God. Give the man a break. He is working his ass off and his hard work will pay off eventually. HTTR

This is a stupid thread.

That's precisely the point. If there's no improvement on offense next year, this "belief" that you are getting all wet about ...misplaced may be (as Yoda would say). No one on this thread is calling for Gibbs' head, yet.

[saden1]

You can call for his resignations if he is medically unfit to perform his duties (i.e. he's declared senile).

[CoachGibbs]

I'm not going anywhere folks. I'm going to continue to fight my guts out for you guys. You guys are the best fans in the world, you're doing your job right now but I'm not getting it done.

Coach...question...at what point did you get so faint of heart that you couldn't bear to watch nail biting finishes and last minute field goals?

Look, Nick is a great kid, he really fights his guts out for us, but have you seen him kick?

Believe me you wouldn't be able to watch either.
