CNN: JOE GIBBS Returning To Coach The Redskins????!!!!???!!!!!

[matcom]

:wow:

LOOKOUT NFL!! Gibbs might be coming back to KICK YOUR ASS!!!

:bounce:

:wow:

GO SKINS!!!!!!!!

[mouse7]

1. If I were him I wouldn't

That owner needs to be brought under control. Gibbs would have to have full control of the team for this to be a good decision for Gibbs.

[matcom]

2. he WOULD have full control

Snyder (the owner) absolutely WORSHIPS Gibbs. (as well he should). i think Joe could slap him back into place

:bounce:

[mouse7]

3. That may be THE REASON Gibbs would returning

Gibbs could could coach the kids he drafts into shape for a couple of years, then step back to be Team President or be given a piece of the team and take over as the minority owner in charge of operations.

Snyder is not the owner of the Redskins outright. He just owns the largest share of the team in a big partnership. This may be the other owner partners arranging Snyder's move out of the owners box.

As much as I disliked the previous "coach", the way Snyder undercut the guy at every turn was ridiculous. I would imagine they were lining Dennis Green up to take over the team, and Green told them to go jump because of the Snyder situation.

Right now the Redskins are looking at Fassel, Fassel, or Fassel. Everyone else seems to be walking away from any offers.

I would imagine the way the conversation is going, Snyder won't step aside as lead owner unless they "display" Snyder as the owner that wins a Super Bowl. So they are arranging for just that so they can kick his ass out of the owners box.

[northzax]

56. truth be told

danny boy owns over 50 percent of the team. he can pretty much do what he wants.

[soothsayer]

5. I don't see roly poly tweedle dum relinquishing control even to Gibbs

Snyder's one of those pathetic weenies who prolly never got picked to play sports, and now owns a team and wants to run everything HIS way just cuz he can. Control freak.

[jobycom]

30. Tweedle Dum? You're right, he does look like Tweedle Dum!

As a Cowboys fan, Snyder was the answer to my prayers, but at this point, it's just too tragic to enjoy anymore. I really hope he lets Gibbs take over.

[CatWoman]

13. *I* worship Joe Gibbs

please, please, please let it be so.

[Zech Marquis]

4. BIG news topic on ESPN Radio

Joe Gibbs going back to the Redskins :wow: Dan Synder should just do whatever Gibbs would want, and stay the fuck out of his way! Washington hasn't has much to cheer about recently, so this will be an excellent move. Dennis Green would have ben great too, but I don't blame him for not wanting to be under Synder's thumb all the time :evilgrin:

Right now Mike and Mike just asked Christ Mortensen to see if he can get any more details, but I think the next show will really be something--Tony Kornheser does most of his radio and tv work fROM DC, ad he'll be all over this! Meanwhile Golic and Greeney both agree this would be a real shot in the arm for the Redskins, aka what Jerry Jones did to bring in Bill Parcells.

[KG]

6. why would he want to work for the little shit?

gibbs showing up doesn't equal instant success.

gibbs didn't work his magic all by himself, he had bobby beathard as the GM, a guy who had real eye for talent who dug up great players. gibbs also had some great coaches on his staff.

[Bertha Venation]

16. I heard Beathard might be part of the deal--

but that was at about 8:45, and on DC local radio.

[Zech Marquis]

7. FLASH! IT'S A DONE DEAL--ESPN RADIO@9:05AM

:bounce::bounce::bounce: Joe Gibbs is back with the Redskins:bounce: just confirmed by ESPN's Christ Mortenson, with Greg Williams to be the defensive coach! John Riggins on ESON Radio now--"a real jaw dropper!"

[matcom]

8. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

as a life long Skins fan i am THRILLED with this news! i lived in DC during the "Gibbs Era" and i argue he is within the top 5 coaches of ALL TIME!

:bounce:

[Zech Marquis]

9. same here, my family was baased at Andrews

now those were some good days to watch the Redskins :D

[11 Bravo]

14. ALL RIIIIGHT!

Look out all you Eagle and Cowgirl fans. We're baaaack! This isn't a hot shot college coach coming to town. This is a proven NFL winner, a three-time Super Bowl champ, and a Hall-of-Famer!

[underpants]

10. Damn!!!!!!!!

That's the LAST thing we need. Speaking as a Cowboys fan

[matcom]

12. nanny nanny boo boo

:D

we used to beat up Cowboy fans for FUN when i lived in DC :D

[underpants]

23. Where you that guy dressed as the empty seat?

There sure were a lot of them at the skins'"Sold out" games this year.

[CatWoman]

15. :grr:

my baby brother is a Cowboys fan, too. As are his kids.

They always call me when the Skins lose, just to gloat.

[underpants]

19. To be fair at least the Skins didn't lose in the 1st round of the playoffs

:evilgrin::bounce:

Of course I ddin't see their playoff game, what time was it on?

[CatWoman]

20. :grr:

:grr:

gonna give you a wedgie :D

[underpants]

22. This news makes me what to cross dress and wear a pig snout

but then who doesn't want to do that.

[CatWoman]

25. boy are we "on" today!!!!

*snort*

*snort*



p.s. -- I wanna marry the one in the middle :D

[underpants]

43. Actually the do a lot of charity work in the area

Appearances and such. Mostly for children's charities. Good for them but I still think it is funny looking.

57. careful Jeff! You live in REDSKIN COUNTRY NOW!

i could make ONE phone call and have a MOB at your front door in <15 minutes>

:D

[bmbmd]

11. As a long time Cowboy fan

I say that's GREAT! I wish you the very best, and Godspeed in becoming competitive again. We have also learned that you need to get egotistical owners to step aside, and do what is best for the team. It will be great to see Gibbs scowling on the sidelines again.

[jobycom]

18. See, now we need to fire Parcells

So he can coach the giants, and we (Cowboys) need to rehire Jimmy Johnson, and the NFC will be all set as the good-ole-days memory tour!

Landry would be better, but alas. And poor Philadelphia, they don't have anyone to look back to. Buddy Ryan? Maybe Vermeil? Actually, they may have their best coach right now.

[CatWoman]

28. Is Buddy Ryan still alive?

:shrug:

[jobycom]

33. Think so. Raising horses in Kentucky, last I heard.

I liked Buddy, even when he was doing his WWF publicity routines against the Cowboys. I was an Oiler fan when he punched Kevin Gilbride, and I can't remember cheering for any single Oilers coaching action as hard as I cheered for that. I wanted to punch Gilbride, too! 35-3 in the fourth quarter, and that idiot couldn't put together a drive to kill three minutes off the clock? (Different game, but same dumb offensive mind causing the problem).

Sorry for the odd little digression into obscure sports moments. Someone probably followed it.

[Blue_Chill]

17. Amazing news!

Too bad we have to wait 9 months for For football to start up again x(

[underpants]

21. Uh-Oh QB controversy between Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart

Now I know Gibbs was a great coach but he only has a short period of time to teach them to go forward and not just keep making left hand turns.

:bounce:

Stewart apparently has already been suspended by the league and will be forced to take anger management classes.

[underpants]

24. I thought it was nice how he got Dexter Manly to read the announcement

Oh wait .......

[CatWoman]

26. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

low blow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but a good one!!!!!!!

[jobycom]

27. That's pretty mean, UP

Pretty damned funny, too! :-)

[CatWoman]

29. I'm still chuckling

Jeff really should do stand up :D

[Bertha Venation]

31. I don't get it.

[CatWoman]

32. Dexter Manley was illiterate

never knew how to read, and yet was a star in the NFL.

How the hell does one get into the NFL not being able to read?

How the hell does one get thru the public school system not being able to read?

[jobycom]

38. Forget NFL and public school. He had a university diploma.

Graduated from Oklahoma State, and couldn't read. He said that when people asked him to read a newspaper article, he would say "I'm trying to do (whatever he was doing) right now, could you read it to me?"

Yes, you are correct if you recognize that as EXACTLY what Bush does, according to his own staffers.

To Dexter's credit, he learned to read after he admitted he couldn't, and became a literacy spokesperson. He also got banned from football for drug abuse and wound up in prison a couple of times since. Sad, interesting person.

[Bertha Venation]

53. Thanks to you & catwoman for explaining it to me. eom

[underpants]

34. Joe Theisman wishes his old coach good luck

"Break a leg" he says

Oh that was mean.

[CatWoman]

37. ba-da-BUMP

:D

[underpants]

40. AP Breaking!: Jay Schroeder still waiting on hold

:bounce:

[CatWoman]

42. JAY SCHROEDER??!!?????

what ever happened to him????

Didn't he go to the Raiders?

The no-throwing bastard.

[jobycom]

44. You know, that does bring up an interesting, SERIOUS, question

Wonder if Gibb's will try to get Doug Williams as a coach? I remember telling my wife that Snyder should hire Williams as head coach, but not sure he was ready to jump that many levels. But as offensive coordinator, he could be interesting.

Since Williams replaces Schroeder, was the connection, in case you are confused.

[underpants]

46. I'd doubt it

Williams has a great position at Grambling.

Yes Shroeder was the starter most of that season but Williams :wow: what a second quarter.

[jobycom]

47. He made a little noise about moving up not long ago

Don't remember spefically whether it was to a bigger college or the NFL. I don't think he brought it up, I think it was more of an ambiguous response to a question about his future plans.

Jay Schroeder-- his greatest achievement was getting injured so that Doug Williams could take over.

[Fish-Slapping_Dance]

58. Touchdown, Washington Redskins!

(Repeat FIVE times)

:party:

[jobycom]

41. Oh God, you're killing me! Stop it!

No really, you're killing me, STOP IT!!!!!

"Break a leg." Like we didn't see THAT ONE coming.

Jergenson was funny, though.

[underpants]

45. To break the hex at FedEx field....

They are going to have Gus Frerotte come back and headbutt it..sort of an official christening.

:spank: :silly: :freak:

[jobycom]

48. Man, I'd forgotten that head butt!

You have more trivia wandering loose in the brainscape than even me. I'm in awe!

[underpants]

49. Well I generally don't go around bumping my head into things

generally

Maybe that is why I never made to the pros (or near it) it takes that special something I guess.

[underpants]

35. Sonny Jergenson says:

*burp* *hic*

[underpants]

36. Sam Huff says:

THAT WAS HOLDING!! WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE THOSE OFFICIALS THINKING?!?! THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FIRST DOWN FOR THE REDSKINS!!!

[CatWoman]

39. ok -- that's it

we are gonna confiscate your caffiene :D

[beawr]

50. OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD

There will be JOY in MUDVILLE

[lazarus]

54. sigh

It used to be Mudville, back in the Good Old Days of RFK Stadium. Remember the old Mud Bowls?

I loved that place. Some of those games, you couldn't see the hash marks, you couldn't see the uniforms, nothing. Riggins and Hog ball. Great football.

[mouse7]

51. Poor Mark Rypien

Still no respect. Not even worthy of being abused.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

[underpants]

52. RALLY AROUND RYP!!!

the rallying call in '92 of the Va. Peninsula paper the Daily Press which still features Warner Hessler's "Third day observations on the Redskins victory/defeat....."

[Fish-Slapping_Dance]

55. Yay!

Now I can use the Redskins gif instead of the Max Headroom one I was using and not be ashamed.

Bring us back to glory, Joe!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

59. Ok...I'm interested in football again!

[Zech Marquis]

60. no press conference until Thursday, right?

good, I have Thursday off, so i can watch it on tv--and the local jerks had BETTER show it too--if they consider themselves Redskin fans they would :evilgrin: (Hampton Roads again, damn bandwagon riding idiots, a least I LIVED in DC during the good old days!)

I was praing that my Cowboy loving co-worker would be in when I started my shift today--I can't wait to see the expression on his face Friday :bounce: Now who will Gibbs use on the first round draft pick?
