Maybe I'm one of only a handful of people who didn't truly believe that we were Super Bowl bound the day after Joe was hired but I kind of doubt it.

No, I think that was the majority of rational people at least. Trying to recreate the past and winning a Super Bowl doing so seems too simple. Life isn't much like Hollywood scripts so I knew not to expect much.

What I could expect is knowing Gibbs had the clout to keep Snyder's hands off the team. Gibbs knew he couldn't ensure a Super Bowl but he could ensure building a stable team environment in which to build one.
