Snyder incapable of hiring coach or GM, might allow beloved old man to do it for him. The latest rumor surrounding the woebegone Redskins is that Dan Snyder could bring Joe Gibbs back to oversee the franchise a la Bill Parcells in Miami. The biggest difference between the two is that Parcells has always been singularly focused on the NFL whereas Gibbs spends his time running a NASCAR team and spreading the word of Christ. Noble endeavors no doubt, but the fact remains that Gibbs isn’t really in tune with the goings on around the league. After all, this is the same guy who reacted to Snyder’s enthusiasm regarding Jim Zorn as a head coaching candidate by declaring, “That’s neat.” FML. [PFT]
Update: ESPN 980 reports that a Gibbs return is unlikely.

*Totally impressed with the redskin facepalm logo.*
Let him go, geez. They keep clinging to Gibbs like a sorry old girlfriend who they cant get over. Gibbs is too old to deal with this crap anymore
There’s absolutely nothing noble about rednecks driving fast in circles or Zombie Jebus.They’re both bullshit endeavors.
/swimming in the irony of a Pats fan claiming another team has dirty players
Oh, it’s not another team, it’s the Steelers.
When has the Nfl had 3 whacked out owners at the same time as Snyder, Jones, and Davis? Good times…
Didn’t they already have Gibbs running things and did it not work? Or did I imagine that?
OUCH!
KSK must have settled out of court with Daniel Steele and his INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY complaint.
LaFavre is just angry because Daniel Steele’s intellectual property is worth more than his.
newhope: Please don’t complain. If you keep bothering KSK’s overlords, they’ll punish us all by replacing another fun and popular weekly theme post with a random list of 5 things nobody gives two monkey shits about.
Sit in the corner and wait patiently like the rest of us. And for god’s sake, don’t ask for more gruel.
bear with us, more is on the way
I can’t wait to hear about how Smith banged Gifford.
Even if Gibbs still thinks it’s 1987, it would be an improvement over Dan and Vinny. He’s probably hire some washed-up retread, but, really, what’s the difference? It’s not the team is anywhere close to being a contender again.
and wow…football gets a capital but sex doesn’t?
my priorities must be off today
So, in other words, the Redskins are still fucked up beyond all hope.
/love the facepalm injun, a picture truly does say a million words
//needs an injun drinking firewater until he’s stinking blind drunk
New, just you wait…they are strategically solving the world’s problems for a later post.
Did I say world? Okay I meant sex. and Football.
I don’t think anyone would think less of Redskin fans, if they temporarily switched allegiance during Snyder’s ownership. I think Maj would appreciate the Pat’s Jewish owner and his new Jewish star. I’m sure Stu would get a kick out of rooting for the Steelers band of weenie waggers, rapists, drunks and dirty players.

Maj, et al…. not that I’m bitching, but this needed a “Yeah, we had nothing ready this morning” tag.
UM – But if Sports Radio and PFT agree on something, isn’t that like a negative multiplier? So if PFT says 50% and Sports Radio says 50%, doesn’t that really mean 25%?
//sorry…too much school going on right now
Thank you. I’m getting a little weary of reading about Steve Phillips’ fucking fat chicks.
That savage sure does look noble in his suffering.
From an outside perspective – I think the skins should do something similar to what the Falcons did. As opposed to hiring an all powerful GM – just hire a badass scout and promote him to GM (but give him no business/budget related responsibilities).
A few years back I was wandering drunkenly in downtown Norfolk, VA with my friend trying to find a place without a dress code. As we cross one street this dude walks out toward the middle of the intersection, and as we set foot on the other side he begins screaming “Fuck Joe Gibbs” as loud as humanly possible. He was still at it three blocks later, and was so loud that people inside this small restaurant three blocks away could hear him and came out to investigate.
I look forward to more stories like that.
newhope- bear with us, more is on the way
ANY GM would be a welcome change, Joe Gibbs or anyone else. But “Snyder will use Gibbs like a human shield” is what I fear.
So… I’m not trying to bitch or anything, but what’s the deal with only one post so far today? Are you guys taking a half-day or something? What am I supposed to do with nothing new to read? Work?
+many to whoever came up with the Redskin logo facepalm
HoC- Not if you listen to local radio. They’re making it seem as if Florio’s rumors are accurate well over 50% of the time.
Luckily this was reported by PFT and therefore has virtually no chance of actually happening…
