Couldn't be happier, being that I am a Washington fan in all sports but baseball.

They did in fact play against the Cowboy starters the entire first half and were up 13-3, so it would not appear it made much of a difference. Although the Cowboys were without TO, who was the difference in their last meeting and burned their secondary for 4 TD's. 3 of which he had about 20 yards on the nearest defender. While I would not go so far as to say Gibbs is as good a coach as 20 years ago, I do not think they would have gone this far without him. I think a big part of this season was being able to overcome adversity, which I do not think they would have been able to do as well under any other coach in the league. Nor do I think any other coach would have kept the respect of their players. Granted he made a few mistakes this year that may have directly cost them a couple games, and possible 11 or 12 wins as opposed to 9. You don't get 9 wins in a season such as this without good coaching, and it is certainly more than they have had in the last in 15 years when they were under him as well, with exception to one where they had 10 wins.

Not sure I would care to much if he moves on for next year, assuming they can get a good replacement, but as a longtime Skin's fan I certainly think he has earned the right to make the decision when the time is right. Heck, the Bullets did the same with Wes Unseld and he just drove the team in to the toilet. Gibbs has and always will be a winner in whatever he does, and I think he will know when it is time to move on.
