I know it won't satisfy people if the same ultimate decision makers are in place but I think whatever "problems" there are with the front office structure are really more at the root level. Hiring a GM would be fine, but my guess is it would be nothing more than a ceremonial move to placate all the complainers.

OK, how about hiring a GM with decision making abilities beyond Mr. Gibbs?

I just don't see Gibbs giving up control there.

You're right, but I don't think Gibbs has the skills he used to have back in the day for picking talent. I hope I'm wrong. I'd just like to see a GM to compliment Gibbs, not replace him.

Yes becasue Gibbs can't do both. He's having enough trouble coaching the team.

I agree 100%. Both jobs are just too much for 1 man. This 1 man method has been tried before and failed. I think the problem is that the head coach is so involved in coaching he cant distance himself from the personnel aspect enough to get a realiztic perspective of what's needed. The GM and head coach have to work together so they can be on the same page with whats needed but the NFL has shown over and over that teams need a GM and a head coach and they must be 2 different people.
