Hogs86 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The door is now opening for Gregg Williams. For those that have said he and Snyder do not get along maybe we have read way to much into it. It's been a few years but i do remember reading that Snyder and Williams relationship has been repaired. This comes from 2013 when the redskins took Gruden over Williams  https://fansided.com/2013/12/30/rumor-g ... ead-coach/Fred Smoot@Fsmoot21SeanTI just spoke with Greg Williams and he is very interested in the Redskins Head Coaching job.....I think Greg could help Redskins Nation...877:22 PM - Dec 30, 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyfan1993 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I have a feeling the jets will eventually get a deal done with Gregg Williams, but in the meantime it sure is fun at least to discuss the (very low) possibility of us being able to hire him (as defensive coordinator or head coach)Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Baugh Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I just don’t see Gregg coming to us with the likelihood that Jay’s Not returning after next season. Unless Gregg is told he would be next head coach.🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bang Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 So why isn't Gregg Cleveland's head coach? He just pulled them up to actual respectability and their players seemingly will run through a wall for him..  yet they never even considered keeping him. Didn't even bother. No for some hotshot coach with a huge pedigree..  but for their own QBs coach with no experience at all.  So why do we get SO excited for the chance to make another move that would COMPLETLY seem to be a reckless gamble? The one thing Williams seems to do consistently is look for a new job.  ~Bang  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He inspires them.  It is a risk/reward and I think the reward side outweighs his less then charming personality.   The issue is can he coexist with Bruce?  That is the problem here IMO.  I think it could possibly be the Scot McCloughan debacle all over again, perhaps minus the alcohol.  But it is still a potentially explosive situation.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like they couldn't have had him as OC still? I don't see any paths being burnt to their door for Freddie Kitchens.  fact is, they could have had both, kept it exactly the same. It seemed to be working. But they didn't want to keep Williams. I doubt the reason is they were worried about losing Kitchens.  the one solace I have here is that this is the Browns, and they are just as known for shooting themselves in the foot as we are. Now we'll find out if they are smarter than us, i guess.  Any bets? ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 If it's a recipe for disaster, I'd still take it. What's the worst that could happen? Allen gets fired? We replace Gregg with a coach accused of DV? The fans feel apathetic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you would've seen the Cardinals, Packers and Bengals all go after Kitchens had he hit the market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hangman- C_Hanburger Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 5 hours ago, KDawg said: Â Absolutely. I may not be "happy" still as a fan, but I'd be intrigued. It would be a scenario where, if Bruce Allen can keep his head on the business ops side and merely help with negotiations on contracts and scout organization (because I think the team has been doing fairly well in the draft), it could be a phenomenal move for the Skins. Â I just have my reservations about the Allen part of that whole thing. I have a different take...You see Bruce picking up Foster because in his mind its an upgrade to the fielded team so screw the PR, then you have Gregg who puts bounties on opposing players and gets into people/Players faces so screw the PR... THEY MAY BE IDEOLOGICALLY the SAME and be compatible. Both have been screwed by the NFL/Press. It might work... Â I may be in the minority..but Gregg's Saints Bounty Program showed he motivated his players to play harder (within the rules of course) and his caustic attitude is just what this team/culture needs after such laissez-faire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzplay Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I remember that game JSteelz is talking about. It was pregame when we played the Rams. Snyder and Gregg were on the field talking. The team president saw that and moved with a quickness across that field because he just had to know what was being said. Hell, I think he moved faster than most of our LBs!

You have to bring all the parts together to be a good HC.  McVay has done it but typically most of these guy who become HC are better suited as OC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Rapoport did say they blocked several interview requests, so they sort of had no choice, i imagine. Still doesn't say much for Gregg.  ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 This whole thing does seem really, really backwards...i wonder what manusky is thinking about the team trying to get Gregg in for an interview while he (manusky) is still the DC here...I’d be beyond angry 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
