They found a brilliant way to have Gary Cole replace Gibb's character as leader, and I'm SO glad! Offering the job to Tim and having him refuse it, and then Tim explaining with a lot of passion and emotion what his reasons were to Nick - and those reasons came to him because of his deep feelings for Gibbs - perfect! Now the team won't be torn apart - that's what I was afraid of if Tim had taken Gibbs' position. It's Tim and Nick that hold this together and separating them would have been disaterous imho. In the last couple of years, Gibbs hadn't played much part in the stories anyway, and his character had become too cranky and sullen - negative - for me. I think the series is going to be rejuvenated by these changes and I'm really looking forward to it - it was time for Gibbs to go.
