Joe Gibbs to resign
« on: January 08, 2008, 06:20:38 AM »
WASHINGTON (AP) - Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs resigned as coach and team president of the Washington Redskins on Tuesday, the Associated Press has learned. A person familiar with Gibbs' decision, speaking on condition of anonymity because the news had not been officially announced, said Gibbs would make his resignation known later Tuesday morning and would discuss it at 3 p.m. news conference. The official said the Redskins would begin a search for a new coach immediately. Among the certain candidates are two former head coaches on Gibbs' staff, Gregg Williams and Al Saunders.

Gibbs is a winner!  He has nothing left to prove; I'm surprised he even came back for a second tour of duty.  He has more than earned the right to lie on a beach eating bon bons. 

Anyone know how much he was pulling down on this contract?

Another reason is that his grandson has leukemia and he wants to spend more time with his family.

I think the highest paid NFL coach is Holgrem(sp) in Seattle at around 8 million and Gibbs was making around 5 mill with this contract. The median is around 2.5 million I think but could be wrong....
