I also think he had favorites. While he had control and respect, there may have been some resentment between players as to the preferential treatment some seemed to receive. I think it's pretty clear from some of the comments made at the time and since that there were players who "had the ear of the coach" even under Gibbs. Maybe it wasn't too much of a problem b/c Gibbs knew how to manage the prima donnas.
