Frankly, I'm not sure why people (not you SS or anyone in particular) are backing off their support of Williams and critiquing those who don't like this delay in hiring a coach.
Beyond leaving the current coaches and players in limbo, this delay in hiring a coach is costing us the opportunity to try to hire all the assistants we will need. The best candidates are getting picked off and unless we plan to poach and promote coaches from other teams, I am left to wonder how good any coaching staff we assemble is going to be at this point. Finally, what about offseason planning? The combine is coming up and I don't like the idea of our coaching staff not even being announced until sometime around the Pro Bowl.
I just pray to God that Dan Snyder isn't trying to make a splash by hiring Josh McDaniels.

Where was that reported? I know that is what a lot of people assume, but I haven't heard or seen that anywhere.
I must fall into the 1% because I'm not sold that GW is the best answer. Maybe he is and maybe he is not. I appreciate them taking time to hire the new staff, and not pull the emotional trigger and crown GW immediately. I say staff, because no matter what happens, not only will we have a new head coach, but we'll have new O and D coordinators, and new assistants too, whether the new head coach is GW, Fassel, or Micky Mouse. Continuity went out the window when Gibbs stepped down.
