Joe Gibbs Resigns as Redskins Coach

Joe Gibbs plans news conference this afternoon. Search for a new coach to begin immediately.

:disgust

o well....maybe we'll get Bill Cowher?

WOW... did not see that coming

I miss the Riggins, Theisman, and hogs days.

Don't worry redskins fans, I hear Cam Cameron is available

sad - i just heard that on ESPN - he said it was the toughest year of his career - he has a grandson battling leukemia and then the death of Shawn Taylor. he's 67, time to smell the roses and go back to his racing team. being an NFL head coach is one of the most grueling and stressful jobs out there.

I saw that coming Saturday after the Redskins lost and told my buddy. I picked them to win too, because of the recent success. Gibbs hasn't got very far in the postseason since he returned to coaching and it's been 4 seasons now. He's 67 too.

no one saw it coming....we all figured 1 more season, since he was signed through 08'

the only coach i can see coming in & not skipping a beat...is well...retired

wonder how much $ synder would have to pay for Bill Cowher anyways? :1orglaugh

he should stick to nascar.....

The guy is 67 and a HOF'er, he's done good. Being both president and head coach had to be tough, and after losing Taylor, emotionally draining.

Probably a really good idea with Kyle Busch joining his nextel Cup team and their switch to Toyota.

chicks into nascar are hot :winkwink:

Why would anyone want stress like coaching a football team at that age? If I'm pulling those kind of hours when I'm approaching 70, I fucked up somewhere along the way.

love of the game is what im guessing....

Bill Cowher would be tight

haha don't get me started :winkwink:

working into old age at something you love and dealing with people of all ages keeps many people young and healthier than if they retire to the sofa or a golf cart.

*double postage*

He says he's taking a few years off so his kids can finish school w/out moving and get some more quality time in with the mini's. I doubt he's going to pick up a job this next season, though I'm sure he's being courted by a lot of teams.

yea but dan snyder can make it rain :thumbsup

Not to mention his race team will suck because they switched to Toyota...:winkwink:

yea somehow i doubt rednecks are all big toyota fans :2 cents:

Damn I just this thread and went posted another one about Gibbs.

I thought the Skins were going to beat Seattle, it sure looked that way for awhile.

I really hope that the continue to try and build their team with their exisiting young talent and don't go back to overspending on aging former pro bowlers.

Love that guy, but I kind of wish he'd never come back. His legend is now a little bit tarnished in my mind.
