I think if anything both offenses and defenses have gotten exponentially more complex since the early 90's. Gibb's was I think progressive for his time in complexity but is probably run of the mill today. where it presented problems was in that it was/is vastly different than most other offenses and guys were learning a entire new way of conducting an offense. Plus complex offenses just take a little while to get smoothed out. The ended up looking so vanilla because they couldn't run anythign well last year.
They be better this year and I'd bet the bank on it.
