I would never have predicted this:
Joe Gibbs will return to coach the Washington Redskins, a team he led to three Super Bowl victories before retiring from football to focus on his Nascar team, according to a statement posted on his race team’s Web site.
Gibbs will be the sixth coach in 12 years for the floundering Redskins, who ended the season this year with a 5-11 record, missing the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. He replaces Steve Spurrier, who resigned on Dec. 30 after two losing seasons and three years left on his contract.
Predictably, Oliver is besides himself with joy. He has a right to be on this one, methinks. My only fear is that Gibbs will put himself in an early grave- he almost killed himself the last time around.
