Don't judge the man based on the three losing seasons he's had, look at the 12 winning season's he's had. Fact of the matter is, Gibbs is a victim of his own success, he's just held to a different standard than almost every one else.

I said in a prior post that Gibbs in the 80s was a great coach. Gibbs in 2006 is at best a mediocre coach. In the history of the NFL Gibbs will go down as a great coach but in the NFL of 2007 there are a lot of other coaches I'd rather have. Now the question becomes would those coaches I'd prefer over Gibbs actaully fare better than Gibbs in the Redskins screwed-up organization? I'm not sure.
