Age as a factor?

Or will he "exert his own will" next off season and maybe sign someone Gibbs does not want? If that happens, then all bets are off. My guess is Gibbs takes a hike and half the staff walks with him. Don't tell me it can't happen. You can wish that it won't happen, but it can...

Gibbs is in charge now, and is team president, he gets the final say. I hope when Gibbs leaves that Snyder does not take over as president and that we hire someone to do it.

Unless Gibbs has Alzheimer's Disease or suffers from some unreported Senility than I don't really think that his mental processes should be slowed by his age. I'll take his decades of experience and be pretty happy with that, thanks. Paterno's decline is more to do with stubborness (sp?) than any health concern. He sticks to a system that just isn't having the same effect it used to. On the contrary, Gibbs has always been an innovator dating at least back to his days with San Diego and I'd wager before that. Now the Diabetes could be a genuine concern, but with the top level medical care that I am sure he is getting, I would be surprised to see it affect his performance.
