The team relocated to Washington D.C. in 1937 where they played their first games at Griffith Stadium with the Washington Senators baseball team. In it's new home the team would win it's first NFL Championship in 1937, and then again in 1942. George Marshall died on August 9, 1969. Majority stockholder of the Redskins organization and owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jack Kent Cooke took the reigns and hired head coach Vince Lombardi. The team moved into D.C. Stadium (changed to Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in 1969). 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.
