If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?

Some defensive dropoff is to be expected with Rogers out, Washington out, and Griffin banged up. But the scheme can't fall from No. 2 all the way to No. 30 just because one guy is out for the year and two others are dinged up. If our coordinator is to arrogant to adjust, we have to get someone else who can.

Agreed. I actually gave Williams props earlier in the season, because he seemingly found away to take away the big plays from big play teams(excluding the Pats). But as the season has progressed, he is still very cut and dry with his defensive scheme. Don't blitz Brady at all, and let him pick you apart all day, then come back the next week and blitz Clemens 30 times when he's much better at escaping the blitz than Brady... There's no happy medium.

And the dropoff that occurs when the starters are out is ridiculous. When Taylor left the game yesterday, the defense was immediately gashed for two 40+ yard plays. WTF is that?
