Generational thing

I totally disagree. Im 35 years old and I watched Gibbs 1.0 every single week. What we have now is Gibbs relying totally on GW for any and all Defensive decisions. Then, once we have a lead, Gibbs influences the playcalling by going into turtle mode with run, run, run, punt. In addition, I cannot remember clock management issues in Gibbs 1.0, and it seems like poor game management decisions are a weekly occurrence in Gibbs 2.0.

If you watched Gibbs 1.0 you should remember he left all his Defensive decisions to a better D-Coordinator than GW, Richie Pettibone. I also wouldn't be sure it is Gibbs' influence on the playcalling, it could be all Saunders, the Chiefs were pretty run heavy under him. As for clock management and halftime adjustments being poor, it is baffling to us all why they continue to be a problem.
My belief is; Saunders should go, Gibbs should take back the playcalling and the Skins need to hire a GM. IMO Gibbs is too loyal & kind hearted to make some of the calculated & cold-hearted decisions that are necessary in the era of Free Agency & Salary Cap. In the pre-Salary Cap days all Gibbs had to do was convince JKC to spend, and he spent.

You could have a lot right here but you're wish is unlikely to come true. Gibbs more likely to be gone w/ Saunders sticking around (or they both go). Any other coach in the league would have been forced out at this pt (or earlier) for the inconsistent, generally piss-poor performance in WA. Snyder can't do it to Gibbs because of the old general's rep. but you damn well know any other coach would have been shitcanned by now.

Gibbs is ready to retire, and I think when/if Saunders really takes over the offense will produce more. Gibbs has heavily influenced the offense's strategy - he's even admitted it, which is a slip I think - and kept things ultra conservative. IMO Gibbs is going conservative to protect JC, but it's a huge mistake. The result, which I've said is pretty friggin obvious, is that our guys haven't really bought into the gameplan. There's little spark among the offense. For one thing, they all know the ball won't get spread around much - Portis, Portis, Moss, Sellers, Portis, Betts, ARE, Betts, Portis, Portis, Cooley. Come on! There's not much to get excited about here unless you're CP I swear he's hurt or depressed or something.

Well I go all the way back to George Allen, and no one here criticises Gibbs more than I.
