While I agree this is a more likely event than Gibbs leaving early, I would not be surprised if he stayed past the 5 years if he felt the job was close but incomplete. He may stay on as Team President or some such capacity.

The man hates to lose and does not concede defeat easily (remember the Giants game? He went for the TD late rather than kick an easy meaningless field goal to avoid the shut out - I thought that spoke volumes about the man).
