Continuity is NOT something a franchise strives for, it's something that's bred out of sustained success with common personnel.
Continuity is a great thing, and an indicator of great things, but it's an impossible ideal when your head coach retires. There's no such thing as continuity when that happens, and rather than chase an unrealistic ideal, Snyder has a far more important task: choose the best candidate for the job.
I think the notion that Gregg Williams was the only right choice for the job is downright ridiculous, and that while Snyder may have treated him improperly given his service here, Snyder is neither a bad man, nor incorrect in his methodology for going a different route.
The team grew over the last 4 seasons, and will likely continue to grow over the next 4 under someone new. I'm really not seeing why that is such a terrible thing.

Yeah, I do agree with Snyder being thorough in this process. However, I think that it is hard for most people to get over the fact that the fans, players, and Gibbs himself supported Williams privately. We were a playoff team last year, despite injuries, that leaned heavy on the defense. How can you not at least give Williams a one year try out when so many other people are supporting him? It just looks wrong in the same way San Diego firing Marty S. looked wrong.
