Maybe I'm thick as mud, but I still don't understand the strategy here. Look, it's not like Gibbs wasn't here just a little while ago.

My question, among others, are these:

1)Did Gibbs just realize the Skins need a GM or did he feel this way during his second stint? Surely Gibbs, above all people, understands the value of having a football guy run the team and pick talent.

2) So why did he come here knowing Danny wasn't going to get a GM and leave not impressing upon to get a GM?

So either Gibbs and Danny have had a change of heart or Gibbs thought the front office structure was fine the way he left it. If it's the latter, that informs me a little bit.

Statement:

Yes, Gibbs is an asset. No doubt about it. But why a limited "operational role". It just seems like more tinkering to me and we need a fundamental shift in front office strategy. I guess I would rather see all in or all out. Enough with the PR, Danny only listens to Gibbs BS. To me that strategy is just as flawed as the one we've had. Because if Gibbs is the only guy that can get him see the light, so to speak, then all of Snyder's eggs are still in one basket. And that's dangerous. It's like putting all your chips on red in Vegas. Am I reading too much into Gibbs role, not enough?

Am I just angry and don't care anymore?
