I can think of only one instance in history of the NFL where the guy coaching the player was also picking the players successfully (i.e. sustained playoff appearances and SB titles) and that is Shannahan in Denver. Mind you he hasn't won a title since Elway left, but Denver is consistently good year to year with Shannahan at the helm.

I can't think of another instance were the GM/Coach position hasn't failed, and I consider it to be the single biggest problem facing our skins. Gibbs has repeatedly shown that his talents lie in coaching and only coaching. No self respecting GM would ever allow the kind of FA spending and talent emigration that we have seen in Washington.

The solution is simple, but Danny will never do it because it means reducing his own roll as owner, but you need to get a sharp and strong-willed General manager to make ALL of the personnel decisions. Vinny gets demoted to 2nd Associate District Assistant Ball Washer, and Gibbs and crew stay as COACHES only. It all makes sense to me...wonder how much Scott Pioli wants after his contract expires this year?
