Which is Better with Gibbs II: Wins or Stability

Now that we are in year 4 of Gibbs II, what do you believe is the most important thing we should hope for after the 5th and final season?

A: Is stability of the franchise the most important thing (example: Greg Williams becomes HC, Saunders remains OC, we keep core players, and Snyder doesn't break the bank signing costly free agents)?

Or

B: Are wins the most important thing (we win 12 or more games this season and next, possibly even an NCF Championship and SB - but after year five we lose Greg Williams, Al Saunders and Joe Gibbs)?

I hope that after FOUR years of joe gibbs II, we land coach chin or bellycheck, because they still have what it takes to create stability and wins.

Gibbs II has proven he is incapeable of either.

Skinz need a clean sweep ... a complete redo ... the sooner the better ... they will never go anywhere under Gibbs ... he ... like his protege QB (Brunell) are washed up and behind the curve.

You my friend will be eating your words this season. I fully expect the Skins to win 10 to 11 games this season and be a competitive team in the playoffs this season.

I'm sure you will be willing to post an apology to Gibbs at the end of the season.

Let's not overdo the value of stability. There is some advantage of sticking with a plan, any plan, because you get better at it. But, it's better to find a sound plan and stick with it. Our three-year record of 21-27 isn't evidence of a sound plan in effect.

They have both been successful as coordinators in the past, but I don't view either Williams or Saunders as good choices for the job of head coach. Moreover, I hope our next plan includes a well-qualifed GM.

What wins? We're 22-23 since 2004. At this point the only thing Gibbs II has going for it is that the team "plays their guts out" and doesn't embarrass us with their complete lack of balls(see Turner and Spurrier era) if not for their utter lack of talent and depth. They play hard and that's definitely Gibbs but that's about it.

Wow, it seems a lot of Gibbs haters are coming out of the woodwork. It seems kind of hypocritical that you would call for his head when we are only just now starting year four of his tenure. It doesn't seem very stable to fire a head coach after four years, especially when in one of those seasons he led us to the second round of the playoffs, in another season he had a whole new offense, and the last season has yet to be played. We are building something special, and that takes time. Stop making knee-jerk reactions like our owner, that's what led to the 13 or so years of mediocrity between Gibbs I and II. I'm sure if we have a winning record this year, all you will be reversing field and sticking "In Gibbs We Trust" in your sigs.

A brings about B. I think were heading in the right direction. Looking at our defense I see key position filled with alot of young talent that isn't going anywere. The team is starting to get to the point were a few key positions will pull them togethar. A stud on the D line, here. A key WR there.

My goal is to be a very stable 6-10 team.

:laugh:

Absolutely, and to achieve our goal of stability, let's stick with our plan of overpaying mediocre veteran free agents and dealing away our draft picks in trades for players other teams want to cut loose.

I'll go for the wins right now, if nothing else than to ensure Gibbs II isn't equated to failure.

As for long-term stability, Gibbs in all probability won't be here after 2008. I'd like to see a coach brought in (if Williams isn't chosen to succeed Gibbs) who we plan on being here for the long-term, rather than someone like Cowher who will probably stick around for a couple of years before deciding that he really enjoyed retirement.

You are probably a good person but you sound like a clown.:point2sky

We are SO much better. We have a shot at the playoffs THIS YEAR. Next year we'll be stable and GET wins.

P.S. Joe Gibbs will prove you wrong.

But seriously hopefully we have seen the end of that approach this offseason.

Hopefully wins then stability.

One leads to the other imho. That stability goes from the top down. Coaching staff, (sans Saunders), has been in place for 3 seasons now. Figure this second season gives a bit more stability in the Offense. That helps. Then of course, the tough one, stability in the players. That's not easy to come by and doesn't last a long time,(injuries not withstanding). Figure this is a good year to start to really build on the stability that's already there, (read: Hope Jason Campbell at the QB position), and go from there. Hopefully the distance.
