God, I am so pissed off right now and I just can't sit here and be all, "Well, good luck Joe, thanks for the memories." I realize I sound like a complete drama queen right now, but I don't care. I hope I feel differently after I hear him speak.

You want him to announce his plans at the beginning of the season or during the stretch run? No one wants to be lame duck coach...Plus he has always maintained that he'll reevaluate his role at the end of the season. There is no valid reason to be angry with his decision.

Lady, we usually have the same take on events at Redskins Park. We differ on this one. Perhaps I am wrong, but I really believe that Gibbs wanted to finish out his contract. But, he has always said that family comes first and perhaps his family told him, "No more, coaching is affecting your health and our grandson is extremely sick....it's time to spend time with your family." Obviously I am just speculating, but Gibbs made this decision after conferring with his family and I can't come up with any other explanation for it all.

I'll bet the team announces GWilliams is the new coach within a week.

This REALLY SUCKS! Its hard to believe right now we will NEVER see Joe on the sidelines again. BIG BUMMER!

i just hope they hire within to keep this together best they can.

thanks joe for coming back and giving it another go now it,s synder who i,m worried about now. i don,t want a college coach.

my heart sunk, too.... I had hoped one more year...

Boy, never a dull moment being a Redskins fan.

[SkinDogg]

Joe, I miss you already.

[JoeRedskin]

Well, we'll see if Gibbs II has actually rebuilt the infrastructure of the team into a winning organization. My feeling is that he left one year too soon. Hopefully, I am wrong.

Very sad news for Redskins fans everywhere. It feels like the end of Camelot where we always had hope of good things to come.

Thanks for the memories Coach Gibbs.

If the new coach isnt someone who was formerly with the redskins, I am vehemently opposed.

This is a team that has turned things around...they are not far from being a consistant playoff team. Hiring someone from outside with assure 2 things...

Greg Williams will leave to be a Head Coach elsewhere.
Al Saunders will leave too.

Both of those are bad....very bad.

I say, 90% Greg Williams will be our new coach and Saunders will stay.
Our owner aint that stupid to risk losing that much coaching talent.
