I don't think Gibbs needs to take a refresher course, I think he just needs time to steal some ideas from other teams. I think hiring a GM would free Gibbs up, and instead of looking for a "proven" guy (which unless that guy is Ron Wolf sounds like "retread" to me) I'd look for an ex-Redskin who knows talent, like Mark May. But whoever he is he needs to take over the GM role and let Gibbs get back in the lab and work on his offense.
I routinely criticize the front office, Vinny Cerrato especially, but this past draft actually turned out to be pretty good. We got a stud safety who will be a star soon, and our fifth round offensive lineman started a game and played well. Our 2nd round pick is Portis, meaning the only pick we really wasted was the 3rd rounder we used on Brunell. So the status quo in the front office is ok, but we still need to get a GM to allow Gibbs to concentrate on coaching the team. It's got to be killing Gibbs that the offense is doing so poorly, I know he's "fighting his guts out" to get things going.
