Agree, but the fact of the matter is Petitbon did get the job. And so one can only assume that during the interview Bobby must have said to Gibbs, "How would you feel about having Petitbon as the D-coord?" I imagine Gibbs said, "That would be great."

Because that is exactly what happened. The similarities to the Zorn/Blache hire are uncanny, imho. I just think it's amazing none of the "Professional" media have mentioned this...

Why would they? How do you bash an orgnization with evidence to the contrary?
