I know he practically worships the ground Joe Gibbs walks on image but how much longer can this go on?

    The 'Skins need a QB, and some WR's. Shoring up that D-line wouldnt hurt either. It will take a LONG time to make them turn into a contender IMO, Snyder prolly will stick with Gibbs until Gibbs retires.

    Good question...I'm not sure that even Snyder himself could answer that right now. For sure though, Gibbs is living off his splendid reputation.

    I remember Bob Hope once talking on TV about when a journalist asked him "How long a comedian has on stage before the audience either likes the comedian or doesn't." Hope said, "Probably about 30 seconds." Then Hope quipped with impeccable timing, "And I've got about a minute and a half." Of course meaning despite Hope's reputation, he still had to win over the audience each time. Hope by the way was extremely funny, and dirty, in his stage act when live not on TV. My dad saw him live at the Maxwell Club awards and said it was the best comedy routine he ever saw.

    But back to the point...I think Joe Gibbs "minute and a half" might be close to being up this season unless Snyder sees some improvement.

    Didn't he sign a 5 year deal. He had been there 3 now since the comeback. If this year is dud, he walks away. They make the Playoffs, he fulfills his contract and then leaves. I see Snyder going after Cowher when Gibbs does leave.

    In other words they need a whole team image

    Gibbs will retire soon if he cant get it done. He has to retire so his "image" isnt too tarnished.

    The competition for Cowher is going to be fierce, he will have his pick of a number of lucrative offers to choose from.
