Redskins to Hire Head Coaching Coordinator in the Off-Season

The Redskins announced they will be adding a new coach next year to the coaching staff who will serve as the "head coaching" coordinator. It's a new coaching position that has never been used in the history of football. The Redskins have struggled since Gibbs took over despite making the playoffs last season. Washington recently clinched last place in the NFC East after losing to the Donovan McNabb-less Eagles.

"I think we've put too much pressure on Coach Gibbs," said owner Daniel Snyder. "We hired two excellent coordinators to run the offense and defense, but Coach Gibbs is having a tough time handling other things such as pregame speeches, watching game film using dvd's, and it was really tough for him to stay focused when the Chase for the Nextel Cup was going on. With this new head coaching coordinator, all Coach Gibbs has to do is stand there, watch the game, and take the gatorade shower when we win."

Gibbs seems to be Ok with the decision. "I like this new position being added to our staff. This way when we win I'll be praised, and if we lose they'll have to fire everyone except me," said Gibbs.

"This will be a great move not only for our team, but for the entire NFL," said Snyder. "I consider myself an innovator in this league and this new coaching position could revolutionize the way coaching staffs are structured."
