I really think Gibbs lacks that killer instinct, he's too worried about feelings now days. I think he's absolutely baffled when it comes to how the NFL works now days. Hell, Dick Vermeil was out of the league for 4-5 years and said that he still couldn't keep up with the changes that took place over that time.

I guess I don't see how people can sit here and talk about how terrible of a coach Greg Williams is after having one bad year on defense. Since he's been a defensive coordinator and even a head coach his defense plays lights out football. He has one dismal season and he needs to be fired, he can't ever take over the 'skins, etc. Yet Gibbs has been more than mediocre since his return.

Yes, back in the 80's he was an excellent coach, he took the team on to win 3 Super Bowls. The man is a great Redskin, and he was a great coach. I think part of the reason we have a million coaches is because Gibbs is somewhat shellshocked and not ready for it. It is typical to give a coach three years in the NFL, in three years he's gone 21-27. For the talent we have, that would get any other coach fired.

Yes, one year we got to the playoffs by the skin of our teeth, and Gibbs side of the ball had the worst offensive performance in NFL playoff history. I just think that the man gets far too much credit for what he's doing this go around, which has been very mediocre. If you asked a random pool of NFL fans, I bet 90-95 wouldn't put Gibbs in their top 10 list for current coaches, I know I wouldn't.

Very well put. I sure wish Gibbs 2 had some Sean Payton in him.
