NCIS season 19: Show boss explains Gibbs’ surprising recommendation
So why did this happen? What was the rationale? It seems like we have a slight explanation now courtesy of show boss Steven D. Binder.

In a post on Twitter (see below), Binder made it clear that personally, he “likes to think” that McGee and Gibbs talked regularly about the future and with that, Gibbs already knew what Sean Murray’s character felt about taking over his post. That’s something that McGee and Torres also talked about on this past episode. If Gibbs was aware that Tim didn’t want the job (at least for now), he’d recognize that there is no sense in pushing him to take it anyway.
Of course, we’re still of the belief that at some point, we could see McGee change his mind and decide that he suddenly does want the gig. He’s more than qualified for it and personally, we think fans would take him a million times over Parker. It’s no offense to Gary Cole, but we just don’t know that character all that well!
