I think Joe Gibbs was the only COACH that was going to put air brakes on the Danny Boy Free Agent Jet Express. We need a strong GM with a big time reputation to keep Snyder somewhat in check, IMO. If he starts his immitation Jerry Jones routine (a poor one) again, we are screwed. Combination Coach/GM has not been a superbowl formula the last few years, unless I'm mistaken. Pats-GM, Colts-GM, Steelers-GM, Patriots-GM, Patriots-GM, Tampa Bay-GM, Baltimore Ravens-GM. That's the last 7 superbowl champs, all employing a GM. I think that makes a pretty strong argument.
