It tells me my boy may be smarter than yours. I still have the feeling he was pushed out by a returning Gibbs, but who knows.
Never once have I questioned the way Gibbs can lead players or have I questioned his work ethic. Those are easily his two strongest selling points. He's a great leader and he works hard. Two things Spurrier probably wasn't the best at. I agree totally the way he developed his staff was wrong. However, how many of you thought that promoting Edwards was a good idea? At the time, I did. I thought finally someone running the same system who has been around for a year. Just proved why Lewis was so valuable!
I love how a majority of the problems you can find with Spurrier are things that aren't even on the field. Criticize how he called a game, how bout? Thing is, Spurrier ran the game better than Gibbs has been. It's been absolutely pathetic. Spurrier certainly had kinks to work out, no doubt about that. However, if Spurrier had surrounded himself with a staff such as the one Gibbs had, does anyone here think we wouldn't be in a better position right now?
This is my last post on this topic. I'd just like to say that I feel Gibbs will eventually turn it around, but he needs to make some drastic changes. I don't buy that whole execution excuse everyone wants to give. It takes more than execution to win. You have to give your players a chance to execute and make yards. Everyone in the world blames Gibbs except for people who are still remembering the glory days.
