Joe Gibbs Retires…Again.

Hall of fame coach Joe Gibbs has retired for the 2nd time as the head coach of the Washington Redskins.

“My family situation being what it is right now, I told him (Owner Dan Snyder) I couldn’t make the kind of commitment I needed to make,” Gibbs said during a news conference at the Redskins’ practice facility, standing a few feet from the three silver Super Bowl trophies he won during his first tenure with the team.

“I hate to leave something unfinished. I made an original commitment of five years. I felt bad about that,” Gibbs said, his voice occasionally choking with emotion.

Bill Cowher’s name has already been mentioned as a possible candidate to take over for Gibbs but several Redskins’ players are endorsing defensive coordinator Gregg Williams.

If Cowher wants the job then it should be an easy decision for the team but if he doesn’t I’d expect Snyder to give Williams the gig sooner rather than later.
