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.
