Given the history of danny/vinny, it's easy to make this argument, yet it's as if the writer at the same time gives them credit (w/Gibbs) for recent free agent & draft acquisitions. IF this was Gibbs doing, then theoretically you replace him w/a coach that can have the same impact in personel. In addition, keep the scouting dept. in place that Gibbs put together.

Some articles have given GW credit for the youth movement on d. If that's the case, it seems he has been pretty good in scouting (of course, AA was a major fa blunder). I rode the GM bandwagon for a long time, but I'm inclined to think that if the front office is willing to change its philosophy & build through the draft more, then we have the scouts & staff that can make good on most of our picks, even w/the danny having final say. In recent years they've had few picks, yet have been able to find guys that not only made the team, but contributed and/or started. Let's see how they do w/a new head coach before getting the GM talk started again. That's my opinion & it looks like the way it will go given the danny's comments last week.
