Bottom line is this - Gibbs has the record, presence and respect that means players listen and respond and Snyder lets him run the team. Spurrier didn't. While Spurrier clearly had talent and might have flourished in a different team, he was the wrong man under Snyder. Gibbs is probably one of only a handful of coaches that can operate under Snyder without interference.

Is there any other coach in the NFL that you really think could have turned the Skins around any quicker?
