People have pointed out that last year under Spurrier, the Skins whad a better record at this point. True, but where did they go from there? Straight down! The point is, while it is frustrating as hell being 2-5, it feels different than if Spurrier, or anyone else for that matter, was the head coach. With Gibbs, combined with the way we have lost those 5 games (with the D keeping them close to the end), there is much less of a sense of panic. Odds are that he WILL somehow, some way get the ship turned around, and while in all likelyhood the Skins probably won't make the playoffs, there is a good chance that the season will end on an upswing....which will set the stage for the Skins being a formidable team next season. If you ask me, that's a hell of a lot better than starting 3-1, only to end up 5-11. IN GIBBS WE TRUST.
