I would have to agree that Gibbs is still a great coach, motivator (proof of last years run). I dont agree that he will be a great front office person. I think the 3 years he has called the shots has been shaky. Some have worked out, but more have not. I dont put the blame on Gibbs for all the moves. GW is to blame for quite a few. (Champ, LaVar,Clark,Pierce,Smoot) all those guys were "replaceable" to him and I think our D has paid the price. Letting him pick his players is a big mistake for someone of his ego, where its the system not the players. I believe Gibbs understands that a GM is needed, NOT Vinny!! Gibbs is a great coach, but his GM skills seems to be in question. Talent evaluation is huge now a days and our 2nd day draft picks have been pretty lame. In the 3 years of Gibbs 2, I thought their may be more stability in player personel, but not really. We have had 3 starting QB's in 3 years. a rotation at the WR position, Defensive line, LB and our secondary has been a rotation of players. I dont care how much you spend, and what the expected production of players are when you bring them in. If you have no chemistry, or familiarity with the players you are playing with, your team suffers. As in the case this year.
My opinion, that is all.
