But I can't say any of the other candidates out there would have made me comfortable with our coaching situation.

Truth be told, Gibbs couldn't have left at a worse time. There were really NO good solid HC candidates out there. Now next year will be another matter entirely. If Gibbs had just stayed one more year, we would have had a much better pool of candidates to select from.

Not only that but I think with the sudden way he left he really put Snyder in a bind. A few weeks earlier it was reported that Snyder was going to offer Gibbs an extension, and I think a lot of us expected him to sign it. At the very least it was expected that he would finish out his 5 year term. His retirement caught everyone off guard and left Snyder scrambling to put together a plan. I'm not trying to blame Gibbs, I think it was a bit of a sudden decision for himself and he probably didn't want to leave Snyder in a difficult situation, but it is what it is.
