I do not care what you think about the man's second tenure. He is in the hall of fame and he is still the greatest coach that this team has ever seen. Tread lightly.
True, which shows that Gibbs was good enough to overcome much of the ineptitude of Snyder and the FO style (inherited FA's, too many coaches, complicated decision-making structure, Vinny...).

However, the point about being skeptical of Snyder's latest moves until proven otherwise is still valid. We all hope these are sincere changes that mean he's learned something and is stepping back. Don't forget, though, that the other teams in our division also have owners, GMs, draft picks, etc. Our mission is not just to stop being dysfunctional, but to be better than the Cowboys, Eagles and Giants. Does this look positive? YES. But keep your fly zipped for a season or two. S*** happens, and Danny needs to prove himself to me after 10 years of misery.
