If so, Gibbs is the guy. And what is the argument against him? He's done an amazing job with our corners. He has a lot of coordinating experience, including doing an awesome job with Auburn's defense in 2005. If I'm not mistaken, the front office really wanted Gibbs to be DC in Denver, but Shanahan wouldn't do it. He's young. He has experience. And he provides no job security for Herm whom, whether you like it or not, will be in KC in 2009. And especially given that Herm is a guy who could be canned any minute, you think any top-flight coordinators would leave their job to coach for the Chiefs for what might be only one season (see Heimidinger and Donnie Henderson in New York).

What makes the idea so bad? Tell me.

It's based on the premise that hiring someone from the outside gives Herman ****ing Edwards job security.

If you believe that Gibbs has any shot at being a good DC, you either give Herman ****ing Edwards every bit as much job security, and probably more, as an outsider.

If you also feel he's a guy that has potential to be good and he is unable to do anything with this defense because of Herman ****ing Edwards and gets fired, then you've burned that bridge.
