He is not as interactive as other head coaches, the coordinators run there unit. So it really doesn't matter anyway. I love Coach Gibbs and I know any true skins fan does too, leave him alone he is a hof and a legend.

Is this really what we are reduced to when evaluating progress? Stating that the criteria of judgment for a Hall of fame coach with one of the most expensive payrolls in the league is whether or not we are subjectively "better off" now (which i believe, but we were 5-11 in 2003, 6-10 in 2004, 10-6 in 2005, and 5-11 in 2006, at 5-7, which year looks like the anomoly? ), 4 years later, than we were when he came- yet we are still bad? Really? when did guiding a team from bad to still bad, but marginally better than 4 years earlier amount to progress? I'm not saying that we need to be a great team, but i'm struggling to find substantive progress under Gibbs second term. I'm not asking to take a jet to the superbowl, but i don't think walking (three steps forward, 2 steps back) is working well either. At this rate, we'll be good just in time to need to replace the entire offensive line. Management must be held accountable- now that does not mean I want him fired, but I do think he should hire a GM, cede all play calling, and basically function as the aforementioned Bowden at FSU.
PS- I'm not saying Gibbs hasn't done anything...we are a competitive in each game now, we've got a QB for the future (i hope), and he's made some decent moves in the draft and free agency...but honestly, for every good move in the free agency market, he's probably done one that was poor.
