If you worked for four years as one of the central architects of a business, yet your boss still needed to interview you four times, including one 10-hour marathon, to make sure you were the right person for the job, would you feel wanted?"
Why aren't we asking how much did he learn in terms of handling people, did he smooth the edges of his blunt personality, what reasons beyond leading a top defense are there for him to think he should feel wanted to lead the entire team, what are Williams' visions for the team anyway? I'm not putting blame on or absolving blame from anyone here, I just find it kind of curious that no one (not Gibbs, not Snyder) ever, in the past four years, said-like Vermiel did with Martz, like Dungy apparently now with Caldwell-this (Williams) is our guy when the time comes.
Not "we're happy with him" or "continuity is key" but something more concrete.

The only thing I didn't like about Bos' article is that he assumes that the 4 interviews were just 'interviews' when in all likelihood they were hashing out business details, in which GW might've made a few demands himself.
I think you can look at it from both extremes, the danny wanted 4 meetings to give GW every chance, or he wanted 4 mtgs. to convince himself that GW is the man. I just get tired of hearing assumptions about these 4 interviews, as if the danny asked him the same questions in each one. I think it was Matty that said in another post, maybe GW is being hard headed & inflexible.
