Joe Gibbs
The man himself. On January 7, 2004, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder named Hall of Fame Coach Joe Gibbs as Head Coach and team president of the franchise, welcoming back one of the most respected and successful figures in Washington Redskins and Washington sports history. Gibbs brings back his relentless work ethic, demanding leadership style, and tradition of excellence and respect that defined his tenure with the team for 12 glorious years.
Gibbs, who coached the team from 1981 to 1992, turned the Redskins into an NFL dynasty during his first tenure. He led the Redskins to four Super Bowls--winning three titles--and accumulated a 124-60 record during regular-season play and an amazing 16-5 post-season record (.789 win percentage). No Redskins coach in history has enjoyed such success on the playing field.
