Gibbs Considering Return to Redskins

Joe Gibbs, the legendary coach who led the Washington Redskins to three Super Bowl titles in the 1980s and early '90s, is in serious discussions with the team about returning to be its head coach, sources with connections to Gibbs said tonight.

Gibbs has told associates in his latest sports endeavor, NASCAR, that he could return to football as the Redskins' coach, sources said.

The Redskins have been looking for a coach since Steve Spurrier resigned last week. Owner Daniel Snyder and vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato have interviewed three candidates -- former New York Giants coach Jim Fassel, former Minnesota Vikings coach Dennis Green and Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Ray Rhodes.

Rhodes interviewed with Snyder and Cerrato in the D.C. area today. But a source close to Fassel said tonight that he did not believe Fassel would be hired by the Redskins because the club was planning a major surprise. He added that he believed Gibbs's return would be the surprise.

Gibbs coached the Redskins between 1981 and '92 and led them to Super Bowl victories following the 1982, '87 and 91 seasons. He resigned from the Redskins following the 1992 season and has not coached since. He now is a minority owner with the Atlanta Falcons and would have to sell his small interest in that franchise to return to the sideline with the Redskins. He has turned over the vast majority of ownership of his NASCAR racing teams to his sons. He could not be reached for comment tonight.

Here's why I'm believing this rumour:

A) I like to dream

B) This whole pursuit of head coaching candidates hasn't been conducted in typical Danny style. We come gunning out of the gates and quickly interview Fassel as if he is our man. Then Denny, and now Rhodes. Knowing that other teams were in hot pursuit of Fassel, you'd think that Danny would have moved quickly to secure Fassel after doing the minority candidate interview. (you'd at least think that there would be some sort of word regarding an offer being made to Fassel by now). Maybe Danny does have something up his sleeve afterall.

George Michael talking about it now.

What's so funny about this is it comes just after the lame-o clowning attempt about Doug Williams. At first glance I figured this must be a Wicked Wop-style hoax. But the article's genuine. Unreal!:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
