His age certainly isn't helping him these days, which is just how it is. I wish he was still running the offense, but he probably just doesn't have the energy he did in his coaching prime. I still would take Gibbs over most any other coach, still. I think he proved last season that he still has it, and after he gave the team a tongue lashing before the Carolina game the team responded. Don't judge the man based on the three losing seasons he's had, look at the 12 winning season's he's had. Fact of the matter is, Gibbs is a victim of his own success, he's just held to a different standard than almost every one else.
