I suspect that's for personality reasons, and not performance reasons. Either way, I don't like the idea of yet another short-term solution, that also leaves more negative ripples (or in our case, Tsunamis), in the franchise. Not really true though. His tenures were interrupted typically by either promotion or new HC changes. 4 years Titans 3 years Bills -- HC promotion 4 years Redskins -- Gibbs left 3 NO -- bounty gate 3 Rams -- HC fired 2 Browns -- HC fired I don't give kudos to coaches that kiss up to Bruce and Dan but understand why they do to survive the jungle. I enjoy that Gregg doesn't roll that way. But he seems to get along with plenty of HCs. Don't think he'd survive here but not via his fault but that the powers above him prefer a go along to get along type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbias Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Is Gregg Williams being interviewed for a DC or HC role? Seems weird we are talking to him while we have both a DC and HC, doesn't it? It sounds like we are publicly saying the marriage is good, but also check tinder in a daily basis... Is that just who we are now? Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrian Gray was supposedly let go, but he might be still with us. Ben Kotwicka left us. Jim Tomsula and Joe Callahan want to leave, and they might be gone. Or they might be still under contract. Greg Manusky is likely back, but we're interviewing people who could take his place. Or we might be interviewing them to replace Jay Gruden. OR it could be that one of them is being interviewed to take Torrian Gray's spot, who takes Manusky's spot. Or we're going to have exactly the same staff, minus Kotwicka.

This is not towards you, SIP but if anyone thinks that Gregg Williams will be the next DC of this team, they are losing it. He left here on bad terms and is simply using Snyder/Allen to raise the price on the Jets. He'll never don B&G again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't do a single goddamn thing right. We're interviewing/looking for replacements for a coaching staff that still employs the existing coaches. Who the hell does that?

It’s been said over and over again the Williams-Snyder relationship was supposedly fixed years ago. Finlay even just said on 1067 that supposedly Dan let Gregg use his plane a few years ago when his father was sick. So if he doesn’t come here it’s not because of his relationship with Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, some how, some way, Gregg Williams did choose Washington he would know with 100% certainty that he can't trust the people he reports too. How's this not supposed to impact the team? I mean you've heard of 'lame duck' coaches that lose the team. How can players get behind Jay & Co. if they feel the replacement is one back room meeting away?

Dude is a hostage at this point, simply looking forward to the days when he is OC for his brother in Vegas. No I don't.

Riggo-toni Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I love GW, and am still angry that we did not hire him as HC, but... this team is not built for his 46 style defense. GW requires a stud FS like ST or Darren "I like my women incapacitated" Sharper. In his two years with the Browns, he pushed them to draft a safety and a shutdown corner with high picks. Our D is front heavy, with excellent DL, but slow LBs, and a secondary that has been left in tatters post-Swearinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left here on bad terms and is simply using Snyder/Allen to raise the price on the Jets. He'll never don B&G again. I agree have made similar points but that's still just opinions on our end. I've learned a long time ago its tough to use assume high-strung emotional types are governed by what we perceive as logical. Dan reputation wise is volatile and emotional. Ditto Gregg but to a lesser degree. It could go down as to what makes sense by our logic which is a deal doesn't happen. But who knows maybe for example season ticket holders need something to grasp and this helps in that regard or so is Dan's logic. And as for Gregg, in his shoes I wouldn't do it. but maybe he thinks if he wants to be a head coach this is the perfect situation, you got likely a lame duck coach who is probably only there for another season. My point is I think both sides are using each other and won't agree to a deal. But it doesn't seem absolutely impossible. For me it seems like a win win for Gregg to meet with the Redskins to both turn the tables and leave Redskins Park by rejecting them and also leveraging more money out of the Jets.

Good news is that there are a TON of safeties in free agency...a deep class that is bolstered by all the guys that signed 1 year deals last offseason. Furthermore, Reuben Foster and SDH are certainly not slow. Anderson is not very athletic but has the brains to make up for it to be a solid SLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Jay and the rest of them would love to do that, but they would be walking away from a lot of money -- in Jay's case, 10 million. He'll do his best in this circus, then get fired at some point next year and move on to Vegas to work with his brother (while Snyder pays the remainder of his deal). 1 hour ago, UK SKINS FAN '74 said: No I don't.

They won't fire Gruden, he won't quit, so they'll just turn off his headset or something on Gameday while they interview other coaches all season long. HAIL!

Will Bruce and Dan sober up enough to let anyone know? Will Benson discover Chester's affair? These questions—and many others—will be answered in the next episode of...Soap The Redskins.
