Thinking Skins Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 http://bills.theinsiders.com/2/217268.html Breaking News: Gregg Williams to be gone Monday By BillsReport Staff Date: Dec 27, 2003 As Ruben Brown sitting out this is any possible indicator, BillsReport.com has learned from sources that Gregg Williams is to be formally excused from the Buffalo Bills organization sometime Monday or possibly early Tuesday. Gregg Williams stint with the Bills for 3 years has resulted in a losing category. Williams took the Bills to a 3-13 record in his first season as head coach. In his second season, Williams created a spur in Buffalo by acquiring quarterback Drew Bledsoe from New England, the Bills improved to 8-8 last season and set the stage for this year's potentially successful season. However, the Bills are 6-9 right now and face the New England Patriots for the season finale. The Patriots, who were downed 31-0 in the Bills season opener, have already secured a playoff spot.

codeorama Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 ESPN had Williams as well as the Cards coach and the Bears coach getting fired scrolled across the bottom of the screen during the late game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 fine, he's gone. Don't give him a HC job though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeypeet Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Really both Williams and Mcginnis would be great hear as out D coordinator. I really like Mcginnis (SP?). The Bears at one point really wanted him as their HC. He ended up turning them down which was probably a mistake. Either way I don't hold his failures in AZ against him.

Tarhog Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 ESPN's also reporting that Dave Wannstadt won't be fired, and will get a 1 year contract extension so he won't be a 'lame duck' coach next year. Apparently, he's agreed to have a GM-like superior who'll have final say in personnel, or something to that effect, as a condition for keeping his job.

skinsblitz Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Williams isn't the coach I'm interested in hearing about right now. The guy I'm curious about is about to run off to Florida for 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I'm all for him. As long as he is a defensive coordinator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 A defensive coordinator who has failed as a head coach will be a perfect fit; there's no fear of him moving up. If he comes here as DC, that's as high as he's going. It may seem twisted, but McGinnis probably has a better shot as a head coach than Williams, so it would probably be better to bring Williams in.

Skeletor The Invincible Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I'd be up for McGinnis too. I love that guy, he always is so uptempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marhobo2 Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I think the question we must ask is: When will SS decide the fate of his staff, and will any of these mentioned still be unemployed? I just can't imagine them being out of work long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNorth Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Williams as a D coordinator would be fine, but as a HC the guy makes some baaaaaad decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate running the asylum Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Well if SS doesn't fire someone, no new coaches are coming here in 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurent Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 I'd like McGinnis as our headcoach. Too bad this would never happen with the Snyder raquetball combo in charge. The guys running the show here are suckers for the big name high profile candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Hog Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Dave McGinnis has gotten the most out of lame-duck talent in Arizona ever since he has been the head coach there. A perfect complement in my opinion for Spurrier. Whereas the Ball Coach is a seemingly laid back guy, McGinnis is more of a high energy guy who would be able to light a fire under the butts of our defensive unit. Exactly what is needed around here.

bubba9497 Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Jauron has one year remaining on his contract, at a salary believed to be $2.2 million-$2.5 million, and the Bears are responsible for that. It is possible Jauron could be considered for any of the other vacancies expected to be created this week and he might also be a candidate for a defensive coordinator's job with a number of franchises.

IowaSkinsFan Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 Spurrier will be back next year, like it or not. I also think Edwards will be given the benefit of the doubt considering the troubles of the Defensive line. He may have to concede Helton's job, although the O line played much better after Hasselbeck took over and the offense was streamlined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
