And just to address the OP, it's hardly fair to blame Gibbons for the fact that the team has received absolutely nothing from Dickey, Morrow, Romero, Johnson, or Happ. The ONLY starter that has had an acceptable season is Buehrle, and he's been nothing special. How you can blame that on the manager I do not know.
Blaming the manager is the default position of idiot fans who are too stupid to logically assess any given situation. "Teem doing not gud?! MANGER FOLT!11!!1 FIYRE TEH MANGER!?!!!1!!"
If anything, the man deserves a trophy for enduring this season without snapping on one of these clowns and putting them in intensive care.
