Joe Gibbs resigns as coach of the Redskins

 

Sean Taylor’s death really brought alot of inspiration to the Redskins at the end of the season, as his team was performing at its best in the field, but that was not enough for Hall of Famer Coach Joe Gibbs who resigned to his charge this week.

Besides losing his main safety, probably the fact that made him took such drastic decision was the NFL playoff loss who ended with all of his motivation to keep on the coach’s chair.

“It was the toughest season for me, when you go through a season like that, for a while it's kind of hard to re-grasp reality.” Gibbs said Monday.

The search for his replacement already started and among the main candidates there are two former head coaches whom were under Gibbs staff members, they are Gregg Williams and Al Saunders.

It’s being said that that the 67 year old coach is losing his management skills as in a game against the Bills he called back-to-back in the final moments, something is not allowed.

But all hopes returned when they won the last four regular-season games to claim the final playoff bert in the NFC but he failed for a second time in bringing Washington to a super bowl, much different than the 1981, 1987 and 1991 seasons when he won 3 super bowls with the Redskins, a team that is very fond of him since he coach them for 12 seasons.

Now he will remain as a special adviser to owner Dan Snyder and the rest of his time will dedicate himself to take care of his grand children who is currently suffering of leukemia.
