what a blistering article...it seems like there's mutiny in DC right now...I don't see how Dan is immune to all of this...he has to know what is going on

When Boswell speaks, I always listen. He's earned that, for sure.

Still, I wonder about this part

"Some wonder if the Redskins already have burned their bridges with Williams, who specifically came to Washington so he could learn to handle people -- and smooth the edges of his blunt personality -- by exposing himself to Gibbs's influence. If you worked for four years as one of the central architects of a business, yet your boss still needed to interview you four times, including one 10-hour marathon, to make sure you were the right person for the job, would you feel wanted?"

Why aren't we asking how much did he learn in terms of handling people, did he smooth the edges of his blunt personality, what reasons beyond leading a top defense are there for him to think he should feel wanted to lead the entire team, what are Williams' visions for the team anyway? I'm not putting blame on or absolving blame from anyone here, I just find it kind of curious that no one (not Gibbs, not Snyder) ever, in the past four years, said-like Vermiel did with Martz, like Dungy apparently now with Caldwell-this (Williams) is our guy when the time comes.

Not "we're happy with him" or "continuity is key" but something more concrete.

Joe is the king of ambiguity. You rarely ever get anything concrete from him. It's one of the few things about him that frustrates me so much.

Maybe Coach Joe knows that with the fanbase we have that less info. is more. We're a very ''to do'', ''savy'' fanbase - not much gets by the people of DC metro area - hell, some could afford to own the 'Skins!

I don't know.... I don't know what to think anymore. I will say - I'm going to sit back and believe that they know better then I, or I would be in their business. I'm a Redskin fan and that will not change!

I can't help to think that this has affected Gregg Williams. Some are wondering if he'll even accept the offer at this point. Jackonsville does have an opening for D-Coordinator.

It is what it is
We play next fall no matter what - I'll be a fan regardless

HAIL!!!

I think he'll accept the job if offered. But it must certainly be affecting everyone directly involved.

GW def got the short end of the stick. now, if he's not offered the job, he's squandered opportunities to interview elsewhere for a hc job. Not that i'm for or against him. I still stick by the whole "players play- coaches coach" mantra

but i guess he could just take a year off and go it again next year....

If offered the job, I think he'll take it. I can't see his pride standing in the way of a head coaching job- gotta figure that if the skins didn't want him for the role, its going to make it that much harder for him to secure one on the open market.
