GW might not be the smart choice.

The key element you are missing is that Bill B made the playoffs in Cleveland. Coaches that have made the playoffs tend to make the playoffs with their new team. Coaches that didnt dont with the new team either.

In the end I really dont care who becomes the Skins next coach. I'm not too excited about GW because we have seen what he is like as a head coach and its nothing great but if he's picked its fine by me. I'd prefer a young new head coach with new ideas and I don't believe that a coach from the outside means a rebuilding process must happen. NFL teams are constantly being tweaked and a new coach (as well as GW) knows who on the team can play and who cant. When Tomlin came to the Steelers the Steelers didnt blow-up the team and start over. He took the talent on the team and made improvements (like any coach taking over for the Skins will do) to help the team be better.

In the end no matter who is named HC there will be changes as there would have been had Gibbs stayed.
