Quote:In all fairness, Gibbs had been gone too long.  Not to mention his QB's for the most part were an aged Mark Brunell and Patrick Ramsey.  Schottenheimer didn't last longer than a year.  So he couldn't have had back to back winning seasons.

 

Of all of the Redskins HC's in the Daniel Snyder era,  I rate Joe Gibbs' performance at the top of the list.  I'm of the opinion that Gibbs was still a top level HC when he came back.    Even making it to the playoffs 2 times in 4 seasons under Daniel Snyder is a heck of an accomplishment.    Having said all of this,  Gibbs won 3 Super Bowls with 3 different QB's in a 10 season period.   That's when the late Jack Kent Cooke was the Redskins owner.

 

As for Marty Schottenheimer,  his one season tenure as Redskins HC helps reinforce my opinion that Daniel Snyder hasn't succeeded as Redskins owner...............in terms of the on the field results for the franchise.   If Snyder would have avoided interferring with Schottenheimer,   the latter would have lasted much longer than one year.   And likely would have produced many winning seasons.
