Gibbs is a Hall of Fame coach. He knows football. He didn't forget it, and he never will. I don't believe people who say, "the game has passed him by." I don't think that's possible, unless he has become senile -- which he is not.

Nobody should question whether Gibbs can do it. I'm not saying he's beyond questioning, but to question his ability is ridiculous. Question his decisions, but don't question his ability.

I give Gibbs A LOT of leeway, and I didn't get to experience much of his success during his first tenure with the Skins. The reason I give Gibbs leeway is that he has already proven himself. He knows football. There's passing, rushing, defense, and special teams. Guess what? That hasn't changed since '91.

People who say the game has changed too much are making the argument that somebody (Gibbs) who proved he knew more than most about football, now knows nothing. You really believe the game has changed that much? Whatever.

When Gibbs came back to Washington the team was in shambles. Poor decisions were made every year since he left, and that affected the team. You can't undo those decisions, and you can't fix them overnight. It takes time. He's had to fix over 10 years worth of poor decisions, and I think he's done quite well doing that in just 3 years.
