Obviously, we'd need access to his tax records and bank statements to see if that $25M was an inducement of any great magnitude, but might it not be POSSIBLE?

Not sure if you're serious or not but I'll answer anyway.
Personally I don't think his motivation was money. From what he's said they had an agreement in place and the money was something that was ironed out very quickly and it wasn't something that was even a big issue to him.
Gibbs does not strike me as the kind of person that would take on a job of the giant magnitude of being a NFL coach and team president with money being his only motivation. If that was the case he could have come back to the NFL a long time ago and cashed in. I think he showed his true colors by leaving the last year of his deal on the table and going back to spend more time with his family. His faith and family are his main motivations. That's why he stepped down the first time as well.
