Greg Williams...Head Coach

I second that, Greg Blache is the most likely successor...
But to add on to that, GW also stated that while he definitely wants to be a head coach again, he is only going to leave for the "right" opportunity.
I don't see Houston as a great opportunity...
KC or STL would be my guess if he does leave.

Houston is the PERFECT opportunity for a head coach! Why?
Even if he finishes his very first season at 7-9 or 8-8, he will be considered a huge success, that team has no where to go but up. Not to mention the best player, practice and game facilities in the league, and an awesome front office that will let him call the shots.

They are probably going to finish 2-14 for the season and get the first overall pick in the draft. Williams will have a shot at Reggie Bush -or- using his savy, he can use Bush as trade bait. He could easily trade down in the draft and accumulate a whole bunch of top draft picks for the next 2 years by trading down and letting Bush go elsewhere. Not unlike when Jimmy Johnson traded Herchel Walker to the Vikes and accumulated all those picks that built the core players for Dallas's Super Bowl years in the early '90's.

I have to disagree about Houston being the wrong situation, it has got to be the best.

GW is going to KC if Vermeil is out. KC is a class organization and will give him the time to make them a winner. I still don't think he is cut out to be a head coach though. He deserves the shot.

I am still wondering if GW fits into this secret that Gibbs has leaked out about Snyder doing something great for the future of the Skins a couple weeks ago, but they cannot release it at this time. I hope they have come up with a timeline and a deal that puts GW in as HC after Gibbs finishes up in a year or two.

I actually feel bad for the guy. Kinda like Norv Turner.....good coordinator, bad head coach.

Your right! Brother Norv is about ready to travel once more. Maybe he'll be coordinator for Dave again. Guaranteed, some team will take a flyer on him. Not very many decent proven coach's available. Like QB's

I hope they have come up with a timeline and a deal that puts GW in as HC after Gibbs finishes up in a year or two.I think that deal was done when Gibbs came back last season. Ihave said in several post that GW is not going anywhere and that he will take over when Gibbs leaves. It will be a team he help to develope and he knows Snyder pays better than any other owner in the NFL.

From what I have read in the recent past about Williams is his kids are all in highschool, I think one kid is in or approaching their senior year. They love the school they are in and the friends they have made in the area. Williams mentioned he did not want to uproot his family at this important time in their lives.
Plus he is the highest paid assistant in the league. It is not about money. It would have to be about staus (ego) and being the head coach.
However it is no secret he is next in line when Gibbs steps down in year or two. Does he really want to go to a rebuilding team and uproot his family again or wait a year or two to be head coach at one of the most prestigious franchise and city in the NFL? Those are the two questions he needs to answer for himself this offseason.

However, I know he is from St. Louis, he has family there and that might be enough to get him to leave. Anything can happen.

If it were me I would wait. There is no question he will get the Head coach job here soon. Plus given the choice to live in St.Louis, Houston, KC, Dallas or DC area, I would choose DC area. However I was born and raised in Bethesda so I am biassed. :D

I just don't see Williams go to a dysfunctional organization that needs rebuilding once again. I don't see him leaving the Skins at all. Hell, I can see Gibbs abdicating the Head Coach role and stay on as an offensive coordinator before he lets him go :p

Now that's an interesting thought.

You may be on to something there. I have no-doubt, like many others that part of the deal for GW coming here in the first place is some arrangement (if things work out) that he gets the team when Joe leaves.
Danny and Joe are innovative thinkers. Joe may still be here fulfilling his role and contract while he lets GW have more of the helm sooner than later schooling him for head coach while freeing himself of some of the duties he has, for other things

I think it depends on where we go this season, If we make it to the superbowl or win the bowl Gibbs will leave and Williams will take over. I think Snyder won't let Williams go like he let Lewis go.
