Greg Williams...Head Coach

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.

very different:

1. williams did it before and lewis didn't

2. being a minority, you don't get as many real chances and lewis needed to take it. it was a no lose situation in cinci because they were the bungles. he really turned the team around around.

snyder is following the walsh model of the late great 49ners. gibbs is grooming williams and will stay on as emperor when he abducates the the throne as king.

I live in Texas and have seen several articles in the Houston Chronicle and several other newspapers that Greg Williams is at the top of a short list for replacing Dom Capers in Houston.

If that happens, who is currently on the staff to replace Williams? Or do the Redskins go outside the organization and hire a new D-Coordinator if this does happen?




I had read this thread completely yesterday, and started reading it all over again, when I realized the trap that Sandtrapjack was trying to get us stuck in!

Hah! Jokes on him! We swept his cowroids! Sandtrapjack needs to consider who is taking over for the tuna! I say they really need Joe Schmuckatelli, coach of Div. III, The Southern Campus of East Lower Upper NorthWestern U! 0-73 for the past 4 years!


It is needless worry about GW. He will do exactly as you or I. Simply put, he will do what is best for him!

Amen! and Amen!



A "We Want Philly" smilie needed here!

My hope is that Gregg Williams stays one more year as Def. Coord. and then takes over as the Redskins Head Coach. Gibbs isn't staying forever, and I would have to believe that he would step down sooner if he knew he were giving the reigns to the right person.

Heck, now that I'm thinking about it, I can see Gibbs thinking that Williams is too valuable to the Redskins organization and stepping out of his way THIS off-season!

Either way, Williams is getting paid more than many HC's and should stay in Washington until Gibbs leaves. He is guarantee'd to be the next HC here!

You know, I definately wouldn't want Gibbs to step aside to let GW become the head coach. I do want him here and would love to see him become JG's successor, but after 1 year of a winning season (no telling where its going to lead...) I still would want Campbell learning under Gibbs and would love to see Gibbs on the sidelines for a couple of more years. He's brought something back to this team... and it means alot to me as I know it does to all of the other fans out there who feel like we're undergoing something special right now.

I love all the people who have said they are worried about Williams as a head coach. Seems no one gives an explanation to why. My guess would be that it is just because he didn't win in Buffalo but we should all know that just because you weren't successful in the win column the first time around doesn't mean you can't do the job well. Hell Belichek sucked in Clevland and look at the guy now. Whether a team wins or loses has a ton of variables some which are completely out of control of the coach. I have heard far more insider types mention that Williams' lack of success in Buffalo can be traced to some of these uncontrollable factors.
Plus you're ignoring the fact that he has gotten to work under two great coaches now in Fisher and Gibbs. He has to have learned something from these guys. Especially Gibbs. How could you work for the guy and not learn a little about being the head coach?

I dont know about making the analysis that just cause someone worked for Gibbs they must have learned lessons that would make them successful...After all what about the coordinator that took over for Gibbs the first time he retired...the redskins werent too succesful under him...

Gee the team had an average age of over 30 and proceeded to go through a massive injury-year immediately following that before Petibon decided he wasn't up for it anymore and Cooke replaced him with Norv. I am not saying he was good at all but we can't really make a judgement on it based on one year. Just like we can't judge Williams on his one stint in Buffalo.

True...and also Joe Bugel wasn't too successful as a Head Coach in the league either. I believe if Richie Pettibone was given another year or so, the Skins might have turned things around...but that was the worst season the skins have had since long before Gibbs had came to Washington. Still, it was a one and done for him.

i would think blache would go with williams but maybe he would like an assistant coaching job. I would be perfectly content with himDitto.
