Also, I think people really underestimate the work we've done to build depth and develop players across the board.

However of those three, one is Snyder - brilliant businessman & executive but no football playing, coaching or scouting experience, Cerrato - average to poor track record, and Gibbs - the other two followed what he said and "worked the numbers". I'm sure we have some quality folks in the scouting and personnel departments but all were following Gibbs' direction. We all know Gibbs was the driving force behind the successes we've had with talent over the last four years.
Unless Snyder is going to lay major personnel responsibility on the new coach (not a good idea IMO) a GM is needed. Let's say GW is the new coach, he is not ready for a coach/GM role and God helps us if Snyder & Cerrato are left to their own devices, we saw how that worked out. I believe if we get back to the structure JKC had with Bethard and Gibbs we will continue on the success Gibbs has started.
