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:
“For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine,
For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine,
For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve,
For the next matrons or drudges they serve,
For the next doth crave a staff for a stay,
For the next a bier to fetch them away.”
—Thomas Tusser (c. 1520–1580)
