Before you arive at unwarrented conclusions, my reference to Gibbs's weakness was more about his willingness to over protect his players, not about any disrespect for his ability. Stop kissing those three trophies he stands in front of and get with the here and now. That which is past and gone is just that, past. There's maybe a clue or two you could learn from.

Hey,
I'm not trying to start a fight or anything...but suggesting Gibbs is favoring players over a team is not accurate. You have your opinion and I have mine...Yes, I love those 3 trophies and you likely do too.
I bet you were as excited as me when he came back too. Yes, he hangs on players a long time but so do a lot of high quality coaches. This team is in desperate need of long term commitment, and thats what he offers...the problem is everyone wants him to yank players the second they have a bad game...Brunell...sure, I think he waited too long last year, but Campbell wouldn't have given the team a chance for a playoff run if he started a little earlier. Remember, it was Brunell that led the team to our first playoff run in years when odds were stacked against him. That should count for something (and it did)
I think Gibbs is a man of character and would not put a players interest before the team. That is where we differ I believe.
