1. Why didn't he do it when he was here during his second stint? He was here four years. He had ample time to either pluck his successor from the ranks or drop some reliable names on Danny. Neither happened. If they didn't deem it important then, what has changed now?

2. I gotta tell you, and this shocks me that I'm even saying this, but Cerrato. I think when you look at the players that Gibbs selected and the ones that Vinny drafted, I really think it's pretty close. I'm talking purely from a talent evaluation standpoint. So then you have to look at the intangibles. Obvisouly Gibbs brings much more to the table in that department. But since he'll supposedly be playing a limited role, how much will his influence actually impact what goes on in the lockerroom or the football field? I fear not very much. Gibbs' influence is best felt and demonstrated up close and personal. That's his magic. Always has been, always will be. He took that same magic to NASCAR and made it work.

Shanahan? Eh, I'm totally indifferent to him one way or another. Take him or leave him.
