Joe Jackson Gibbs (born November 25, 1940) is a former American football coach, owner of the current NASCAR Championship team, and former owner of the NHRA team. He is the head coach of 20 and 26 in Washington Redskins history (1981-1992, 2004-2007). Famous for his long working hours and work ethic, Gibbs built what Steve Sabol calls, "The most diverse dynasty in NFL history", builds championship teams with many players who have mediocre careers while playing for other NFL teams. During his first stint at the National Football League, he coached the Redskins for 12 seasons and led them into eight playoff appearances, four NFC Championship titles, and three Super Bowl titles.
After retiring at the end of the 1992 season, he turned his focus to his NASCAR team, Joe Gibbs Racing, who has won four NASCAR Series championships under his possession. On January 7, 2004, Gibbs out of retirement to rejoin Redskins as head coach and team president, signed a five-year contract worth $ 28.5 million. He remains with the organization as a "Special Adviser" for team owner Daniel Snyder.

Karier awal
Born in Mocksville, North Carolina, Gibbs was the son of Jackson Ceufud (1916-1989) and Winnie Era (Blalock) Gibbs (1915-2000). Joe graduated from Santa Fe High School, Santa Fe Springs, California, in 1959 where he became a star midfielder. Gibbs attends Cerritos Junior College and then San Diego State University (SDSU), coached by Don Coryell. Gibbs graduated from SDSU in 1964 and obtained a master's degree in 1966.
Gibbs began his career with a job as an offensive line coach at San Diego State under Coryell (1964-1966). He held the same position under Bill Peterson in Florida State (1967-1968) before serving under John McKay in Southern California (1969-1970) and Frank Broyles in Arkansas (1971-1972). Gibbs then boarded the National Football League, employed as an offensive backfield coach for St. Louis Cardinals (1973-1977) by head coach Don Coryell. After a season as offensive coordinator for Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1978) under McKay, Gibbs rejoined Coryell with the San Diego Chargers (1979-1980).
As an offensive coordinator for San Diego, Gibbs spearheaded the highly successful "Air Coryell" attack. Using sophisticated passing attacks, Chargers and quarterback Dan Fouts set up some offensive records for the two Gibbs seasons there. Remarkably, Chargers averaged over 400 yards per game during their 1980 season. After 17 years of training as an assistant, in 1981 Gibbs was offered a job as head coach of the Washington Redskins by Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke.

The first task with Redskins (1981-1992)
After dismissing head coach-then Jack Pardee, Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke is looking for a candidate. When general manager Bobby Beathard showed San Diego's forty-year-old assistant coach Cooke, who had a great interest in finding leadership and the ability to teach (he also gave Sparky Anderson his first managerial job), looked at Gibbs's potential during the interview and rented him.
Gibbs's first season with the Redskins started with a disadvantage when the team lost their first five games. Cooke famously expressed confidence in Gibbs, stating that the team would finish 8-8. Cooke's losses and confidence served as a catalyst, and the newly motivated team improved and reached an 8-8 record in 1981.
The second season of Gibbs with Redskins (1982) embodies the dream of all Redskins fan base: NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl victory. In the strike season, the team advanced through the playoffs and eventually won the Super Bowl XVII by defeating the Miami Dolphins 27-17, taking revenge for Washington's loss to Miami in Super Bowl VII.
The following season (1983), Gibbs's surprise success continued with a regular 14-2 season record and won against the Los Angeles Rams 51-7 at home, in the playoff division. The Redskins then once again won the NFC Championship, defeating San Francisco 49ers 24-21 on a second-last field goal (aided by controversial call interruption call), advanced to the Super Bowl XVIII. The Redskins were fitted as 2-point favorites by Nevada's books into the game, but were surpassed by the Los Angeles Raiders 38-9. Some people call this Redskins team as one of the better teams not to win the Super Bowl.
1984 Redskins won NFC East with an 11-5 record and hosted a playoff game against the Chicago Bears but lost 23-19.
Gibbs coached the 1985 Redskins to a regular 10-6 season record, but barely missed the playoffs. During the season Joe Theismann broke his leg during Monday's Football game against the New York Giants, but the Redskins still won the game with Jay Schroeder in the quarterback.
In 1986, Gibbs coached the team to set a 12-4 regular-season record and beat the Los Angeles Rams 19-7 in a wild card playoff, then defeated the defending champions Chicago Bears 27-13 in the division round, on the way, to return to the NFC Championship against the New York Giants. The Giants will win 17-0. It was the only NFC championship game at Gibbs.
1987 Redskins make playoffs and once again beat Chicago Bears 21-17 on the road in division round, then defeat Minnesota Vikings 17-10 at home at the NFC Championship Game, then on Super Bowl XXII, they ride a quarterback arm Doug Williams to blow Denver Broncos 42 -10.
Four years later, the Redskins won their first 11 games before finishing the 14-2 season, and drove through the playoffs with a home win over Atlanta Falcons (24-7) and Detroit Lions (41-10). In Super Bowl XXVI, the Redskins climbed 24-0 at the Buffalo Bills just sixteen seconds into the third quarter, and 37-10 with eleven minutes remaining when Gibbs pulled most of his starters. The bill will print two cosmetic touchdowns for the final score of 37-24. The win gave Gibbs and their third Super Bowl title team.
The following year, Gibbs returned for the 1992 regular season to try to defend the Super Bowl Redskins crown from a year earlier. The Redskins will finish with a lower record at 9-7 and 3rd place at NFC East. They need a little help to make the playoffs and they get them after losing by the Green Bay Packers allowing them into the playoffs as the last Wild Card entry. In the Wild Card, the Redskins beat the Minnesota Vikings on the road, scoring 24-7, but they will fall in Divisional Round to San Francisco 49ers in a 20-13 road game, ending the Redskins hopes of defending their Super Bowl crown. Two months after the Super Bowl XXVII, Gibbs suddenly retired on March 5, 1993, shocking many people in the organization and around the league; center Joe Bostic called it "probably the biggest surprise I've ever had in my life." As a renowned workaholic, he began to suffer from some health problems, and he cited the desire to spend more time with his family.
From 1994 to 1997 Gibbs served as a color analyst at the NBC Pregame NBC Sports event.
In 1996, Gibbs was immortalized in Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was one of the most winning coaches in NFL history, at the time having a record of 124 wins and 60 losses, and a post-season record of 16 wins and five defeats. The combined winning percentage of 0.683 is the third of all time (behind Vince Lombardi and John Madden). In 12 seasons, the Redskins won 4 NFC East titles, reached the playoffs 8 times, and finished with a record just one season (7-9 in 1988). Gibbs is also the only NFL coach ever to win three Super Bowls with three different quarterbacks and three different defenders.
Play style
Although Gibbs helps create time-oriented attacks in San Diego, his Redskins team is known to combine attacks that are oriented to attacks by word of mouth such as counterattacks. By building a strong offensive line (known as "The Hogs") Gibbs was able to control the line of struggle, allowing hard-working to run like John Riggins, George Rogers, and Earnest Byner to move the game of the land. Gibbs added a deep passing attack to this that completes the ground game, utilizing a nimble recipient such as Art Monk, Gary Clark, and Ricky Sanders. Gibbs' offense was assisted during his tenure by aggressive aggressive units under the direction of defensive coordinator Richie Petitbon.
The Gibbs system and offensive scheme are strong enough to succeed without the Hall-of-Fame-caliber quarterback at the helm. The Redskins' Super Bowl victory was won by featuring highly skilled players Joe Theismann, Doug Williams and Mark Rypien along with their strong supporters.
Gibbs is credited with creating a single back, double or three tight final sets. He uses it to neutralize Lawrence Taylor's Hall of Fame linebacker, realizing that to successfully block it by running back is impossible; extra tight ends and tackles are also needed. The extra tight end provides additional protection for quarterbacks. Gibbs is also credited for making travel formations; accumulate three wide receivers to one side. Gibbs incorporated the shift and movement of known violations. The formation creates incompatibility and confusion for the opponent's defense that is then exploited. He is also one of the few coaches who utilize the H-back position clearly in his offense. Joe Gibbs Racing (1992-present)
Gibbs created the NASCAR team, Joe Gibbs Racing in 1992, a year before he retired from the NFL. The first driver for his team was Dale Jarrett (1992-1994), sponsored by Interstate Batteries, and number 18. His son JD Gibbs, now president of Joe Gibbs Racing and oversees the daily operations of each team since his father's return to the NFL.
The team currently has four cars in NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series and three in the Xfinity Series.

NHRA
Beginning in 1995, Gibbs fielded three cars in NHRA, one, in each professional category:
- Funny Cars, driven by Cruz Pedregon
- Top Fuel dragster, driven by Cory McClenathan
- Pro Stock Firebird, driven by Jim Yates
Andrea will bring home 2 NHRA Winston Pro Stock Championships in 1996 and 1997. McDonald's was the main sponsor on all three cars from 1995 to 1997. In 1998, Cruz Pedregon will be sponsored by Inter-State Batteries and Jim Yates by SplitFire.
Pedregon won the first NHRA National Event Gibbs as team owner at NHRA Automotive Parts Chief in 1995. He will pair it with a victory at '95 NHRA U.S. Nationals, 3 for Pedregon in 4 years at US Nationals. Pedregon continued to race for Gibbs until mid-season (Englishtown, New Jersey) in 1999. Ended with a final appearance, Pedregon left the race himself, and was replaced by Tommy Johnson Jr. Johnson Jr. will win his first Fuel Cars win with Gibbs in NHRA Keystone Nationals' 99th and will go to the next two finals, scoring another win in the process. It was announced that after the '99 season, the Gibbs team would be reduced to a team of two cars, and the Funny Car team parked since then.
McClenathan finished 2nd on NHRA Winston Top Fuel points in both 1997 and 1998 with Gibbs. In 1997, McClenathan continued to fluctuate, sweeping the famous Western Swing (Denver, Sonoma, Seattle) and a total of 4 consecutive wins, 5 of 6 races since Denver, including the final round at the US Nationals in '97. He also took Gibbs' top MBBS Top Fuel Dragster to pay $ 200,000, won the NHRA Winston No-Bull Showdown in 2000, pitted the Top Fuel Dragsters against Funny Cars in a 24-car shoot.
Gibbs announced that he would focus only on the NASCAR team after the 2000 season, ending a 6-year relationship with NHRA.
Motocross
In 2008, Gibbs branched off into motorcycle racing, forming a JGRMX team that competed in the motocross and supercross AMC championships. The team is headquartered in Huntersville, North Carolina and is managed by Gibbs' son Coy Gibbs.

Second task with Redskins (2004-2008)
Throughout his retirement, many NFL owners approached Gibbs hoping to lure him out of retirement, but to no avail. Some owners even offer to move the entire NASCAR racing team to the city of their team if he returns. The only team he considered returning was the Carolina Panthers when they first joined the NFL as an expansion in 1995. However, he did not believe he would be able to manage his time between the race team and his training. In 1999, he was part of a group that tried to buy the Redskins but ultimately failed. In 2002, Gibbs and a small group of investors bought five percent Atlanta Falcons from owner Arthur Blank for $ 27 million. It was not until late 2003 when Gibbs really started catching football fever again. Blank and general manager, Rich McKay moved quickly to interview him for the position of head coach of empty Falcons due to Dan Reeves firing. However, when Gibbs finds out that Steve Spurrier resigns as head coach of the Redskins, they realize that although Gibbs is one of the team's minority owners, his loyalty still lies with the Redskins.
It has been well documented that Daniel Snyder has been rejected by Gibbs several times before. On December 31, 2003, Snyder's private plane (Redskin One) was found at an airport outside Charlotte, North Carolina. After spending 11 years in retirement from the NFL, Snyder successfully lured Gibbs from his retirement. The change of heart of Gibbs is quite surprising to the world of football and NASCAR. During a January 7 press conference, an emotionally-looking Snyder welcomed him back. Gibbs later stated that although he really enjoys NASCAR, he has missed training in the NFL. And although he has made a bid in the past, he can only see himself training for the Redskins.
Due to its credibility, Gibbs was able to gather one of the largest and most experienced coaching staff in the NFL. Many coaches from his previous tenure with the team returned with Gibbs as well, including head coach/assistant coaches offending Joe Bugel, Don Breaux's offensive coordinator, coach midfielder Jack Burns, and strenuous coach Rennie Simmons. Gibbs was able to lure former Buffalo Bills head coach Gregg Williams to join the Redskins to run the defense and recruit one of his former defender Ernest Byner to serve as a running back trainer. Overall, many of his assistants and coaching positions are former head coaches and/or holding top assistant positions with other NFL teams.
Gibbs left his racing team in the hands of his eldest son, J.D., while his other son, Coy, joined him as an assistant to the Redskins.
season 2004
In 2004, Gibbs had what was, until then, the worst season of his career with a 6-10 finish. However, the team finished the season on a record high with a 21-18 victory over a playoff-bound Minnesota. The defense also completed the third season in the ranking allowed.
season 2005
Hoping to fix the attack through a gloomy previous season, Gibbs added former offensive coordinator Jacksonville, Jaguars, Bill Musgrave as his quarterback coach. After training the new Redskins quarterback Mark Brunell when they were both in Jacksonville, they easily formed a relationship. Musgrave feedback lets the Redskins add some new wrinkles to their guidelines. For the first time under Gibbs, the Redskins attack utilized a rifle formation.
In a wild-card playoff game, Gibbs led his team to a 17-10 victory over Tampa Bay Buccaneers, to whom the Redskins suffered a 36-35 defeat at the start of the year. In the next round of the playoffs, however, the Redskins could not replicate their early season win over the Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl-bound, and lost the NFC Champion ultimately by a score of 20-10.
2006 season
During the 2006 off season, Gibbs hired Kansas City Chiefs Al Saunders offensive coordinator to become head coach - a foul for the Redskins. Saunders comes from the same background as Gibbs, as both studied under Don Coryell. Saunders underwent a huge success at the offense 'offense with the team that led the NFL in total yards and scored over a five-year period and was named USA TODAY Offensive Coach of the Year in 2005. He took over for Gibbs as the main team-caller after joining with Redskins. This allows Gibbs to focus more on his role as head coach and CEO and devote more time to personnel, defense, and special team matters. Gibbs also added former Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Jerry Gray to his staff as secondary trainers/cornerbacks. However, Gibbs lost quarterback coach Bill Musgrave to the Atlanta Falcons during the summer of 2006.
The 2006 season was disappointing for Gibbs. The Redskins finished 5-11, the team's worst regular team record under Gibbs leadership so far, and placed near the bottom in the NFL in defense. On the plus side, although the '06 Redskins boasted the best 4th league greed despite losing to Clinton Portis' early starters with injuries and seeing continuous improvement from young player Jason Campbell, who ended 2006 with a strong performance against the Giants, where he scored a 96.2 QB ranking.
2007 season
The Redskins qualified for the playoffs in 2007, for the second time in 3 years, after the completion of the 9-7 regular season. They advanced as the sixth seeded team at the NFC, and were defeated by NFC West Division champion Seattle Seahawks in the first round of the playoffs.
The team experienced an important tragedy when safety star Sean Taylor was murdered at his home the night after the eleven games. Shot during the theft attempt during the early hours Monday, November 26, 2007, Taylor died the next day. Taylor's funeral was held on Monday, December 3, 2007, between 12 games against Buffalo (Sunday, December 2) and 13 against Chicago (Thursday, 6 December).
The Redskins end the season with four consecutive wins led by back-up midfielder Todd Collins. Before running, Skins is 5-7 and, apart from suffering through Taylor's tragedy, the team has lost start OG Randy Thomas, OT Jon Jansen, CB Carlos Rogers, OLB Rocky McIntosh, and QB Jason Campbell for injury. Despite all this, Gibbs leads Washington into the playoffs. In what has been called the best coaching of Gibbs, many players appreciate Gibbs' willingness, leadership, and inspiration to guide the team on their winning streak at the end of the season.
Second pension
Gibbs retired as head coach and president effectively January 8, 2008 after completing his four-year five-year contract. His retirement came three days after losing a first-round playoff to the Seattle Seahawks, which ended the 2007-2008 season. The last match he trained at FedEx Field in Washington was on December 30, 2007; The Redskins have a key victory over the Dallas Cowboys to send Gibbs and Redskins into the playoffs. He remains with the team as an advisor to team owner Daniel Snyder. During Gibbs' four-year return to the Redskins, the team qualified for the playoffs twice, once more qualified for the playoffs during his absence for eleven years. He was replaced as head coach by Jim Zorn.
Starting the classic "Redskins" view
When Gibbs was the offensive coordinator of the San Diego Chargers under Don Coryell in 1979 and 1980, Coryell would ask Chargers to wear white uniforms for a home game in San Diego. So, during his two stints as head coach of Washington, Gibbs started the tradition of having the Redskins wearing white uniforms over the wine-red pants for all their home games. The Redskins also wear white over the burgundy on the road each time the opposing home team decides to wear a dark t-shirt. This uniform combination is considered a "classic" look of the team. His teams almost exclusively wore their burgundy uniforms over white pants for street matches at the Texas Stadium against their archirles, the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys, like the Redskins, especially wear their white uniforms for their home matches. The only time Washington wore a white combination over burgundy on street games at Texas Stadium during Gibbs's term was in 2005. That year, the Redskins recorded a 14-13 victory over the Cowboys, who wore their blue shifting uniforms. However, in all 16 Gibbs seasons as a Redskins coach, the team never wore burgundy shirts at home.

Personal life
Gibbs currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with his wife, former Patricia Escobar. They have two sons, J. D. Gibbs and Coy Gibbs and eight grandchildren. J. D. and his wife, Melissa, have four sons: Jackson, Miller, Jason, and Taylor. Coy Gibbs and Heather's wife have three sons Ty, Case, Jet, and Elle's daughter. In January 2007, Gibbs revealed that Taylor was diagnosed with leukemia, adding that his grandson had undergone surgery and underwent chemotherapy treatment. Joe Gibbs is a devout Christian.
Politics
On September 5, 2008, Gibbs spoke of the Republican National Convention of 2008, where he offered his support for John McCain and his hope that McCain-Palin's ticket would lead to a 'spiritual awakening' in the United States. Gibbs has long been open about his Christian faith, but is notoriously protected about articulating his political position, because, like the old Washington joke, "The Redskins is the only thing that unites the city." One of Washington's most sought-after A-List figures for more than a quarter of a century (and even referred to as "the most popular person in Washington" by Washington Post), Gibbs claims to be uncomfortable when speaking about the convention, stating that "it's a bit awkward to wear a partisan hat."
