I feel like the field of top quality head coaches in the NFL has expanded since Gibbs first tenure. Assistants seem to have more responsibility and are better prepared and there's a lot more "thinking" involved because you can't count on just having a whole team of top flight talent for years to come.

So I don't think it's so much that Gibbs has lost a step. I just think he's not a cut above most of the rest anymore. The irony, of course, that a lot of these new coaches probably learned a lot from watching film of Gibbs back in the '80s
