Angus Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 Two years ago Redskins fans were giddy over the hiring of the Ole Ball Coach. I have no doubt that Joe Gibbs will turn things around for you in time if the front office stays out of the way. I thought that about Spurrior, too (assuming he worked hard), but friction developed with the FO that wore away trust, the coach's authority, and his desire to hang around. Dan Snyder has not become a contented wallflower at Redskins Park for long. He will still meddle and frictions will develop. If he has grown smarter, he will not permit it to sour Gibbs. He has given Gibbs power, but he gave power to Marty, too, and just couldn't stand not being the final say-so on everything. He ran him off. I hope he has come to the realization that Jerry Jones came to: the fans are fed up with mediocrity and, though they will still root for the team in front of their TV sets, they will quit being docile CASH cows unless things change. He will listen to his pocketbook. If he has realized that, you will not be disappointed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redman Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I don't know how old you are, but if Gibbs can co-exist for 12 years with Jack Kent Cooke, then he can certainly get through 5 with The Daniel. And don't compare Gibbs to Marty or Spurrier. Neither one of those guys can hold Gibbs jock, especially Spurrier who had proven exactly nothing in the NFL.

Skeletor The Invincible Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Spurrier, for all his "creative playcalling", didn't prepare a team to play the way Gibbs can and did. For all I ever saw out of Spurrier, his gameplan consisted of "long balls" and "short balls" depending on who the QB of the Redskins was. We'll see how Gibbs works this time around.

Ax Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Yeah, and don't be so sure that Jerrah has learned anything either. If the Girlz have the year NEXT year that most people expected them to have THIS year (6-10 to 8-8) $hit could get ugly real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanishomelette Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I understand your premise, however, the dynamic here is not Dan Snyder anymore. It is Joe Gibbs. He will get the most out of his relationship/partnership with "Daniel". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaSkinzBaby Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 There is a difference in "Hope" "Faith" and "Experience" We fans had hope that Spurrier would be the answer, We also had faith that with all the money Snyder wasted on the "BIG NAME" players we would be in the playoffs again. Us fans now have another word "Gibbs" We know that based upon not only his coaching tenure, but NASCAR that he will bring the Redskins back to the promised land. Jerry Jones doesn't have the cash that Snyder does and he isn't as a shrewd business man. Yes Snyder has screwed up but I have to believe that as a business man first he will learn from Gibbs and will have the skins consistently in the race from now on..... WHEW HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I was one of those that wasn't crazy about the Spurrier signing. I was hoping to give Schot one more year at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor The Invincible Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I loved the Spurrrier signing. I thought it was a sure thing considering his coaching record. Boy was I wrong. Turned out he couldn't prepare a ham sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan81 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Steve and Marty are not Gibbs. Danny boy worships the ground he walks on!!! He knows to stay out of the way. If Danny boy gets in the way and makes Gibbs mad or quit he might as well start digging his grave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Spurriers defense, he did send ham sammich to the practice squad in an attempt to "fix" him. Doesnt that count for anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Master Jay Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Snyder wont be messing with Gibbs. He will sit back and let him do what he does best. All Snyder will do is give Gibbs what he asked for. He has taken a bad rap and if he had let Gibbs go to Atlanta he would have been ran out of town. He was smart enough to hire him and chase Spurrier out of town. Why would he want to mess that up when he is in awe of him as the rest of us fans? All Snyder wants is to hold that trophy and he finally has a coach that can get it for him. Snyder is a fan he was hurting like the rest of us and he did something to ease the pain. I know I feel a whole lot better Redskin football and there is nothing anyone can do to change those feelings. I have 110% faith in coach Gibbs he's humble and he's a winner. No one can prevent him from doing what he does best which is put together a game plan for his team to be competitive and victorious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potato Sack Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Hey Anus. Take that argument elsewhere. Do you understand that even The Daniel understands the significance of Gibbs' return. I'm certain he will ONLY want to make Joe happy. Do NOT compare Joe Gibbs to Marty or Steve. It just doesn't fly around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
