Greg Williams...Head Coach

[sandtrapjack]

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?

Greg Blache would take over I would think....he is currently on the defensive staff and knows the system well.

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.

I think Greg Blache would keep our defense going strong if GW leaves....at least we'd keep the first names going...LOL!!

I think St. Louis or Kansas City are a better fit for Williams. Both teams have a good enough offense, they just need a decent D. Houston is a huge task for Williams, and I don't think he wants to go thru that. He's always said that if the situation is right, he'll go. I don't think Houston is the right situation for him.

I'd be happy with Greg Blache as our D-coordinator. As long as we run the same system, we'll be fine IMO.

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

He'd be on my short list as well, but................ain't happnin'. Joe had that hole sewn up long ago as it is part of the incentive that brought GW to DC in the beginning! Houston may want to take a look at.............maybe Dave Wannstedt?

I agree he won't risk his second chance in a bad team because it may not work out and probably end any chance of him to become another head coach ever again everybody would think.

Great coordinator bad head coach

I think STL, KC and maybe NYJ ( if edward leaves) are the best options for him

How does Dave Wanstedt keep getting jobs? He was a loser in Chicago, a loser in Miami, and now, he's losing at Pitt.

What gives with this guy?

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

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.

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 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.
