Coaching Staff
Head coach Joe Gibbs entered his fourth year of his second stint with the Redskins. It was the second-to-last year on his existing contract. He previously coached the Redskins in the 1981-1992 seasons. On January 8, 2008, three days after the season ended, Gibbs announced his retirement from the position of Head Coach and Team President; he would remain on board as a special assistant to Dan Snyder.
The Redskins fired former linebackers coach Dale Lindsay and promoted Kirk Olivadotti to take his job. Olivadotti previously helped coach the defensive line and special teams. The Redskins also added Tony Spinosa, Matthew Shea, and Bill Khayat to their coaching staff.

Famous quotes containing the word staff:
“We achieve “active” mastery over illness and death by delegating all responsibility for their management to physicians, and by exiling the sick and the dying to hospitals. But hospitals serve the convenience of staff not patients: we cannot be properly ill in a hospital, nor die in one decently; we can do so only among those who love and value us. The result is the institutionalized dehumanization of the ill, characteristic of our age.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
