probably will not find many takers in that thread today!

I think that the thing to keep in mind is not that Gibb's can't coach anymore because I do think that he can still but there are some things to consider:

1. Players now are more high maintenance. They need to be continuously motivated then at times a coach needs to back off. It's a tough balancing act. Back in the 80s and 90s Gibbs had a generation of players that he could count on doing what needed to get done. Players today aren't like that anymore. Gibbs has not yet adjusted to that in my opinion.

2. Look at any successful coach the second time around, Jimmy Johnson, Mike Ditka, Mike Holmgren, George Siefert and Gibbs. All were in a sense whether formally in informally given full say on personnel. It doesn't work. A coach is always thinking now short term win. A GM is thinking long term who replaces this guy who fits the budget, etc. You need two men doing these jobs that can work together. and no that can't include Cerrato and Gibbs with Snyder.

3. The Skins as an organization are still stuck in the pre salary cap era of building a team. The cap era method of building a team involves keeping your picks, drafting wisely. You only use big time contracts on those players that are special talents, like a Ray Lewis, McNabb, Manning. Those that just don't grow on trees, once in 20 year type players. Any player that is average or above average or good you don't throw big contracts at. If a player is good but not special you make a sensible contract offer in terms of cap friendliness and if it's rejected you move on and have a drafted groomed player ready to kill and prove himself waiting in the wings.

We need to get back to basics, no more big contracts. We start accumulating picks drafting wisely. Cut all the cap friendly contracts in the offseason. We live with the one's that are not cap friendly. I don't want a 49ER situation where we are in cap hell forever.

When I first came to the US I would watch the game at a bar (DB Coopers) in Palms, CA. Nice mixture of Gang Bangers and a various fans.

Later I discovered the joys of DirecTV, then HD TV! Woohoo! Now I suffer the ineptitude of the team I love projected on a 7 foot wide screen in 1080 in the privacy of my own home.

So the short answer is 'Sunday Ticket'.

What a fucking depressing day.

The same thought ocurred to me as I was jumpin' out the 8th floor window
