I agree with Daseal that 3 years should be enough time for a coach to prove he's legit. However, if a coach doesn't do it in three it doesn't mean that he can't. You have to look at the reasons for failure. For example, if a coach can't win in three years, it might be because of excessive injuries--not poor coaching.

That said, I'd like to keep Gibbs until he can't do the job anymore (probably when he's about 70). Gibbs doesn't have to prove ANYTHING. You don't give Gibbs a three year probation period, just to see what he's got. If you don't know what Gibbs can do, then you shouldn't be making the decision about when he should leave. And all that talk about the NFL passing Gibbs by is nonsense. Most people don't realize how difficult it is to win the NFL--even with all the right players and coaches.
