Early Years
The Washington Redskins franchise actually started in Boston as the Boston Braves in 1932. But after 5 years with little fan support the team moved to Washington DC. In it's new home the team would win it's first NFL Championship in 1937, and then again in 1942. But it would take 40 years for the franchise to win another championship.Joe Gibbs Years
In 1981, Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke would sign Joe Gibbs to be the Head Coach. With the Joe Gibbs era, the franchise would experience unprecedented team success winning Division Championships in 1983, 1984, 1987, and 1991. They would also win Super Bowl Championships in 1982, 1987, and 1991. Joe Gibbs would later retire on March 5, 1993 only to return in 2004, then to retire again after the 2007 season.Washington Redskins Timeline
