I hear what you're saying Skins73, but is it just me, or does Gibbs seem to be a young 63? Bottomline, I'll take 3-5 years of Gibbs over anyone available, period. Also, I don't think anyone would ever have to ask Gibbs to step down- If he's not a success within 3 years or so, I believe he'll step down on his own. I personally think he'll be just as successful as he was the first time around b/c the values he teaches are ageless, and he has surrounded himself with the best the league has to offer in terms of coaching and Snyder has went out and got the type players he wants.... Keep in mind, it could be SO much worse! What if we had another season of "Marty-ball" to look forward to??? I was so sick of 4 yard passes on 3rd and 8 from Schottenheimer that I almost cut back flips when we hired Spurrier. That, unfortunately turned out to be a coach who thought he could block NFL pass rushing schemes with college blocking schemes. We all saw how that turned out. We now have a season of old school, smash mouth football ahead of us. Redskin football the way I remembered it growing up. Teams that had solid line play, a committment to the run, and so important but often overlooked, an emphasis on special teams.
Whenever questions like you posed come up, I always like to remind myself "It could be much worse!!!!"
