It should've never amounted to this. To have Gibbs act as Snyder's surrogate on what should be now only Snyder's responsibility (the failure of the head coach selection process) is no way to regain the trust/faith from the assistants who've been left in the dark. It smells of nothing but a warm, folksy gesture from Danny Boy....I just don't think he could muster the guts to speak to the assistants himself.

As far as the impact this will have on the franchise (the longer wait), I'm not sure if it will be a net positive or negative. Of course, this does expand the field of candidates and allows management to mull over all the options a bit more. How much does it screw up the free agency signing period and Scouting Combine focus are unanswerable questions. I just hope we emerge from this as less of a laughingstock than perhaps we've just become again.
