bulldog Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 he may only have bid $650 million for the team back in 1998, but one wonders what kind of a club the Redskins would be today if the Sam Grossman group had been able to purchase the Redskins? Joe Gibbs was on board as a minority owner and potential team President. While the club may have lacked the drama, does anyone think that Gibbs would not have found Grossman a capable GM to start rebuilding the franchise, after the fumigation needed from the Norv years? Bringing in a Cowboys coach was bad enough but giving him almost 7 years to figure things out? That is almost Zen like patience in the mastery of the moment :laugh: At the very least I think we would not have the three ring circus that we have now, where the club is highlighted each week on the national broadcasts, but never for wins.

All In Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Remember it was the Milsteins who beat out the Gibbs/Grossman group. They got turned down by the owners club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins19 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Originally posted by Posse81 Interesting. I wonder what we did to deserve all this... It all began when we did not give Richie Pettibone more than one year as a coach and gave Norv Turner plenty of time to completely screw us over six ways to Sunday. It is the curse of Gibbs/Pettibone and now we will have many more years of futility in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGator Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I thought this was a Rex Grossman thread. I think we're overdue to have another bashing-of-a-former-Gator-QB thread. I miss them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Brown #43 Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Originally posted by Skins_Freak Remember it was the Milsteins who beat out the Gibbs/Grossman group. They got turned down by the owners club. The funny thing is Snyder was a minority partner in the Milstein bid, but the owners wanted nothing to do with Milstein. So they told Snyder, "we don't like this Milstein guy, but you're OK with us. We want YOU to have the team." Too bad they didn't nix the whole bid, including Snyder. If they had it to do over again, they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 I had forgotten that factoid bulldog. Not sure if Grossman would have been a free spender but the organization would probably have been run better with Gibbs lending a hand. I don't care who the owner is as long as we can put together a winning season or three. This is just getting downright depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 Ahh the what ifs What if during Y2k we were healthy on the dline, at QB, at kicker and at running back? We would have won the lombardi and had to endure more seasons with he whose name will not be mentioned here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillherb Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 this is relevant but unnecessary but does anyone see a striking similarity physically between Norv Turner and Steve Spurrier?? They sort of look alike, kinda spooky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF4L Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 bulldog, i'm beginning to think you are a glee freak. i'd hazard a guess that we'd be different than we are now, much different. probably be playing games at darlington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCdemolition Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 snyder's good for the NFL, not the Redskins... his drama creates so many subplots, and its that drama that sells and brings in revenue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy-Jumbo Posted November 6, 2003 Share Posted November 6, 2003 I think it's safe to say that had Gibbs and Grossman taken over with the same view to clean house as Snyder did then Norv would have been shown the door and CC retained. CC would have then been free to pick the next head coach of the Redskins and frankly, it's hard for me to imagine we'd be in worse shape than we are now!
