Gregg Williams Is Gone

why not flop with schwartz, did he go somewhere else and I missed it?

In other weird news...comments in JLC's blog and at ExtremeSkins point to Blache being named DC....wow

Extremeskins link: EXTREMESKINS.com - Press Release: Zorn and Blache named coordinators (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=235450)


At least we have some continuity on defense. I'm sure that all the players have a lot of respect for Blache and they'll respond well.

I just hate that GW had to go this way. I don't think he deserves the treatment he received. Sucks. Thanks for everything GW.....we wish you all the luck in the world.

For Williams' sake it would have been nice if this had happened sooner so he could have been a candidate for some head coaching jobs (Atlanta, Baltimore).

Blache taking over wouldn't be too surprising, though I think he'd prefer not to stay. Not for any reason other than he's "getting too old for this shit" I think Jerry Gray and Danny Smith are likely to try to follow Williams out the door.

Haha...Greg Blache is Danny Glover?? Anyway, I am not saying its true or not. I'm not even a member of ExtremeSkins, I just followed the link and decided to post it.

Well, technically Blache has been defensive coordinator all along. Remember, Gregg's fancy little Danny/Vinny title was Assistant Head Coach-Defense.

But I guess from a continuity standpoint, Blache isn't a bad idea. Although if we're gonna blow the whole thing up anyway, I'd just as soon swap Williams with Schwartz.

Really sad to see Williams go. It's funny how Danny can be such a good businessman as far as revenue is concerned (Six Flags aside), yet continue to make the same mistakes. His crap never worked before Gibbs, and now he's reverted right back to his old ways. Way to learn from your boyhood idol. I know, I know, he's being "thorough" in his HC search, but to me it just smells way too much like the old Danny/Vinny circus. History is a good predictor of the future, so until he proves otherwise, I'm a skeptic.

Actually Blatche plays forward for the Washington Wizards. He's number 32.

Were you referring to Greg Blache?

Just bustin your balls GMScud. ;)

if they went and interviewed Grimm...I would be ok with all of this...pending we can keep the players on board

hahaha. I watched the Wiz game last night. Probably why. I changed it.

Well let's put things in perspective here. Al Saunders was gone regardless who the head coach was going to be. And, it seems like most everybody likes the move to get Jim Zorn. On the other side of the ball, we're promoting Greg Blache to DC. Hopefully that means continuity on the defensive side of the ball....where we were most consistent in the last four seasons. Not much needs to be fixed on that side of the ball, with the exception of the defensive line. So, I like the move to promote Blache even though I'm a bit surprised he's staying.

It might all point to Fassel at this point, but I don't mind having the coordinators and other coaches in place before the head coach. By that point, the HC can move in and start planning things for the next season. They can get to work right away.

Ahh...Russ Grimm. Now, we haven't heard yay or nay about him as of yet. At least nothing concrete. I wouldn't be upset with that move at all. Neither would Joe Gibbs.

I can't stand Synder!~
He has been the biggest F-up as an owner. Thank you Cerrato, without your promotion instead of demotion none of this would have been possible! They need to leave the Redskins.

Gregg Williams got screwed over by the Danny boy and his minnion Cerrato, they are not true Redskins, the are corrupt.

Leave the Skins Dan!
