WILLIAMS WORRIED ABOUT 'SKINS GIG?

There's talk in league circles that Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, who has interviewed twice for a promotion in Washington, is leery about what the job could do to his long-term career interests. Williams, who turns 50 later this year, has already been fired once as a head coach. If it doesn't work out in Washington, he'll be a two-time loser (of course, that didn't hurt Norv Turner or Wade Phillips).

As we hear it, Williams is worried that the inability of Hall of Famer Joe Gibbs to have greater success could mean that it will be near-impossible for a guy who doesn't have a bust in Canton for coaching to get it done.

At a deeper level, the reality is that Gibbs had the clout to overcome V.P. of football operations Vinny Cerrato and, if necessary, owner Dan Snyder. Williams wouldn't get the same degree of deference.

This is just plain retarded. Granted, Gibbs was bulletproof in his second tenure because of his previous success. But fans and players alike seem to really love Gregg Williams. What on earth is he worried about? It's not like Gibbs set some ridiculously high standard in his second stint. There's no question that the Skins vacancy is the best in the NFL (unless Dungy steps down). We have a team that has bonded and strong personnel on both sides of the ball.
