And if so, why not bring in someone else? I see no reason that Andy should be tied to Gibbs long-term.
And then again, maybe Dorsey just HASN'T brought in good enough players. Afterall, we are pretty much asking Gibbs to turn a whole lot of chicken shit into chicken salad. The ILB position has gotten extremely short shrift in the draft. Continuing to flip 5th rounders at guys who project as STers and then expecting a guy to just coach them into 3-down interior linebackers is perhaps a little unfair.

Gibbs has been here since '09 and has had success coaching elsewhere. I really think it's more a matter of not having the resources to put the best possible product on the field at ILB.
