I'm a bit surprised, but not shocked. I thought Gibbs would stay for his 5 year term and then move upstairs as GM/President. After this year, the fact he is 67 and has some health issues I'm sure this is best for him and his family. He's given us so much as fans througout his time in DC. I'll miss him and always be a great fan of his.

I think in the news conference this PM or later this week, GW will be announced as the head coach and Saunders will stay on as OC. I know I have been critical of GW, but from the Bears game on I was glad to see him return to his aggressive defensive philosophy and scrap that Cover 2 defense. If Gibbs won't be doing the GM job then we DEFINITELY must hire a GM. I could see this being set-up as the same organizational structure as when Gibbs, Bethard and JKC were here. If GW and the new GM disagree on an issue they bring it to the Danny who will then consult with Gibbs and make final decisions.
