IMO, it's what they didn't have happen to them... a head coaching change.
I agree with the premise of this thread, that the Skins had a good offseason. But that was in light of making the best of a bad situation: the best coach this team has ever had just retired.
I cannot see how Gibbs retiring can result in a better record for us next season. I just can't. It would make no sense.
Now give Zorn a year and if he's any good, he might have an Andy Reid or Mike Holmgren offense up and running around here. Assuming the defense stays solid, we may be in a better place in 2009. But for 2008, you have to figure the learning curve will hurt us.
We had a good offseason because we made very level-headed moves and made a smart coaching hire. But even the best coaches USUALLY need some time for the learning curve. I think we're in for a basement finish this season. I'm just looking for signs that we'll do real well in 2009.
That said, I'm still praying that Zorn ends up like Sean Payton circa 2006.
