Just as people like to talk about players being "true Redskins", the creation of "smear campaigns" is part of "the Redskins' way". They did this to ease Dave Butz out; they did this when Brian Mitchell looked to sign elsewhere; they've let it be known that Bobby Mitchell wasn't sufficiently reliable in his judgment to move up in the FO. Any time someone other than a scrub player is on his way out, the Skins organization leaks "bad stuff" about them and the Washington press laps it up.
There's no way Gregg Williams would "dis" Joe Gibbs. Williams is a football coach and Joe Gibbs is a Hall of Fame football coach. Williams would have to be dumber than box of hammers to be disrespectful to Joe Gibbs as part of his interviewing strategy. I may not think Gregg Williams is the best hire for the Redskins as HC, but he isn't a stupid and self-destructive man.
Now, he might not have been sufficiently deferential to the huge contributions that Vinnie C. has made to the squad over the last decade in that interview to pass the test. [/sarcasm] Even there, I doubt he told Snyder that Vinnie was a pimple on the ass of the universe - - because that would not be a good selling point in the interview.
Until I read the assertion that Gregg Williams had bad-mouthed Joe Gibbs in an interview, I thought he was still in the running for the job as the "fall-back candidate". Not now... He's just gonna play out the string and get fired and collect his $2.5-3M for next year from Danny Boy.
