Not surprised that Gibbs would resign - an emotionally trying year has probably worn him down to nothing, and I'm sure he's wondering whether it's worth coming back again for another 8-win-type season.
The problem has always been: if not Joe, who? The consensus seems to be Gregg Williams, who let's not forget was absolutely godawful as head coach in Buffalo - but Bill Belichek didn't exactly set the world on fire in Cleveland his first time out, and he seems to have done all right. At this point I would endorse Williams because of one thing:
STABILITY.
The one thing this franchise has lacked, ever since the Squire died, is stability. Snyder comes in, fires Casserly, should have fired the Norv but couldn't because he got his one playoff berth, then does, then fires Marty Schottenheimer after one 8-8 season, then the two-year Spurrier disaster, and now four seasons of Joe Gibbs playing "Space Cowboys" (apologies to the Dog for nicking his line). And in those four years, two playoff berths, but a lot of casting about trying to find footing - and a complete offensive overhaul when you could argue that none was really needed.
Now what?
