Gibbs can still manage people well, but what if this team fails to make the playoffs next year? Are we then justified in calling for his head? 4 years with a losing record in 3 of them and a bunch of aging overpaid vets is reason enough to get anybody canned.
Gibbs got all the players he wanted to make a championship run last year and this year. He picked an aging vet QB and stuck with him, negating all the young talent we have at WR and TE. Buges has underachieved with our offensive line.
He sure has picked a bunch of nice high character guys that won't implode on a team, but you can't claim that as a victory when the goal was to reach the super bowl. Brunell and others saying anything short of the super bowl this year would be a disappointment????!! What gave them the idea at the beginning of the year that we were going to be good enough to reach anywhere near the SB?

This is a great thread! Gibbs whole style since his return has been a conservative, play not to lose football. Throw 5 yard dink passes and hope the WR's can run after the catch. If I remember correctly his first go around he threw it downfield several times a game. So I'm not sure what the hell he is doing now. Plus his personel moves have not been very good. It's too early to talk about next year but it would be safe to say that this team needs to take a couple steps back before they can take one step forward. I say he gets the full five years on this contract.
