I am a fan of the Skins since 1981, and normally Gibbs would get a huge leash in my opinion as a Head Coach. The problem is, this time around Gibbs isn't just wearing the Head Coach cap, he's calling the shots on personnel as well, and we have been giving away draft picks like they were candy at Halloween. Look at the Eagles and the Pats, great teams are built through the draft, those mid round picks especially are vital. When you take into consideration Gibbs total job performance, he's leash has to be shorter. Throw in this last debacle and I just don't know.

But you have to give Gibbs the personnel man credit for bringing in Williams and the rest of the coaching staff. Not to mention signing or drafting players like Portis, Taylor, Cooley, Springs, Griffen, Daniels, etc. Arguements about team management in terms of FA and trades vs. the draft can be made (about ANY team) until people are blue in the face. The only exception is NE due to their success....the Eagles have resorted to signing high priced FA's and are starting to pay the price like other teams.
If Williams were to leave, I could see Blache taking over with little to no drop off...especially after a few years in the same system.
Also, I would hardly call this QB switch a "debacle"...
