Agree, but the fact of the matter is Petitbon did get the job. And so one can only assume that during the interview Bobby must have said to Gibbs, "How would you feel about having Petitbon as the D-coord?" I imagine Gibbs said, "That would be great."

Because that is exactly what happened. The similarities to the Zorn/Blache hire are uncanny, imho. I just think it's amazing none of the "Professional" media have mentioned this...

Or the fact that Zorn is not the first guy to be hired as a Head Coach without any prior Head Coaching experience, or experience as an Offensive/Defensive Co-ordinator. You would think that this hasn't happened in history. That Zorn was sweeping floors and counting Chicken McNuggets the past 10 years
