That's probably true. Not sure how much that factored into Dan passing up Williams tho. Sounded like there was a strong personality clash there if memory serves.

To be clear, Vinny passed up Williams. Not Dan. Dan put complete control in the hands of Cerrato. Cerrato felt threatened by a big personality like Williams-who, granted, probably shouldn't have asked to be named GM/EVP too-and sent him on his way.

Grilliams and Al Saunders weren't exactly best friends either were they?

I love the revisionist history here in the Warpath. It seems that when fans have b*tchy vendettas against certain people, they love to change history to make their point and "win" with their arguments.

It would not surprise me if we start hearing someone say "Vinny wasn't that bad".

Vinny really wasn't that bad.

I'm not too sure, to be honest. I can't recall what their relationship was like

For some reason I remember it seemed unlikely Saunders would be around if GW got the HC gig. Who knows.

I thought there was a clause in William's contract, that he got a bonus if he wasn't offered the HC job to succeed Gibbs. Any truth to that? And was Williams asking for more power than the contract clause called for, if the contract was that way?

I never heard from anyone I trust that that was true. As far as the title, I don't fault Williams for asking for it. But I think even without that request, Vinny was just too intimidated by him to have him around

Wow! Had no idea Williams wanted GM/EVP. And I agree he didn't deserve it.
