Greg Williams...Head Coach

[Defensewins]

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.

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.

Williams will leave for St Louis, and Blache will stay. One would expect G. Williams to leave on good terms with Snyder and Gibbs without poaching all the assistant defensive coaches (except maybe for Steve Jackson). Blache and Lindsey would then continue on in DC as Def Coord., and Asst. Def Coord.

.....and suddenly Richie Pettibone's phone rings off the hook! LOL!!! Hey...that's my 1,982 post! Which relates to 1982 - the year the Redskins became World Champions!

I would love to see us make Williams head coach, and follow that up with the signing of Mike Martz as assistant head coach, that would be a great duo maybe the 2 best coordinators in the buis.

[diehardskin2982]

I think we need to keep the staff the same as much as possible. Due what ever possible to keep that staff together, no turnover is the key to consistent playoffs and championships

Sure, if we win the SB this year and Gibbs retires.

Yea, that's probably the only way it will happen if it has a chance at all.

Mike Martz? I'd hate to see him working for the Skins in any capacity...not even as the ball boy's assistant. I really don't want another Spurrior "spread them out" era.

why in the world is everyone annoiting greg williams as the next great head coach of the redskins.he scares me to death running the whole show.maybe another good coordinator but not head coach guy.im not sold on his ability to run the whole thing.the overall intensity level couldnt be sustained for a whole season without problems.

We have talked about martz before and I think that bringing him in would be an entirely new system.
