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.

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

I agree with Daseal that 3 years should be enough time for a coach to prove he's legit. However, if a coach doesn't do it in three it doesn't mean that he can't. You have to look at the reasons for failure. For example, if a coach can't win in three years, it might be because of excessive injuries--not poor coaching.

That said, I'd like to keep Gibbs until he can't do the job anymore (probably when he's about 70). Gibbs doesn't have to prove ANYTHING. You don't give Gibbs a three year probation period, just to see what he's got. If you don't know what Gibbs can do, then you shouldn't be making the decision about when he should leave. And all that talk about the NFL passing Gibbs by is nonsense. Most people don't realize how difficult it is to win the NFL--even with all the right players and coaches.

We can slice this any way we want, but come training camp '07, the Redskins will be on a 2 year time table. You think the expectations and scrutiny is high now, just wait another 6 months.

The normal coach should get 3 years, but 3 Super Bowl rings buys you a little extra time.

I think the time will be right when the coach with a better resume and love for the team presents himself to the owners.

Is there a rumor out there that this mystery coach is seeking the Redskins head coaching position?

The goal is to better the organization, not to make changes because the team's offensive and/or defense is playing poorly.

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.

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.

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

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

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..

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...

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

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?
