I'm so glad I won't have to hear any more incessant "Williams will leave the skins" rants. Thank you Dan Snyder. Bring on Tampa.

Yeah, not to be forgotten in all this is the affect it will have on the team. I'm sure it sets the team at ease knowing Gregg will be back. And for some of them, I'll bet it flat out fires them up for the Tampa game.

Can't you just see Gregg Williams in the locker room?

Alright guys, I could have gone back to Houston where I got my start. I could have gone back home to Missouri and taken the reins and lots of money. I could have had my own team. But I wanted to stay with you guys, because you are my team, my players, and we're in this together, no matter what. I'm sticking with you, because you've given me everything you had all year long. So lets go out there and beat some ass!

3 years $8M is a sweet deal for a head coach, let alone an assistant.

I love it, this is Snyder's middle finger to the rest of the NFL GM's who were looking to steal away Williams!

Haha he'll be getting paid as much for 7 games as Tice did all this season! Deep pockets go a long way.

Thx - 12M

Funny thing was how badly misinformed the Washington Post was on this issue. People like Maske and other junior writers thinking it was a forgone conclusion that Williams would be gone.

Check out this Post chat from earlier today at noon.

Williams Signs 3-Year Deal With Redskins


January 3, 2006



The Washington Redskins have signed Gregg Williams, assistant head coach/defense, to a new three-year contract, the team announced on Jan. 3
"Gregg is a valuable and important member of our organization,' said Head Coach Joe Gibbs. "This is a first step in recognizing his contributions and maintaining consistency among our coaches."

After returning to the Washington Redskins in 2004, Gibbs made putting together a premium coaching staff a priority and he started with Williams. In just two seasons Williams has solidified the Redskins defense among the best in the NFL, finishing 2005 ranked ninth in the league and 2004 ranked third.

Considered one of the brightest defensive minds in professional football, Williams brought a brand of defense based on toughness and persistence to the Redskins, as well as a proven track record of shaping NFL defensive squads into among the league's best year after year.

Williams came to Washington after three years as Head Coach of the Buffalo Bills, where in 2003 his defense finished second in the NFL, improving from 15th in 2002 and 21st in 2001.

He took over as head coach of the Buffalo Bills after 11 seasons in the Tennessee/Houston organization, including four seasons as defensive coordinator, where his 2000 defensive team ranked No. 1 in the NFL.

Coach Williams will be interviewed live today at approximately 5:30 p.m. on Redskins.com.

This is the type of character that Joe Gibbs keeps around him. This is why he is a HOF coach and this is why the players play so hard for them. This is why Snyder wanted Gibbs back....stability, consistency, and CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL!

Who knew Snyder's grotesque display of money could be used for good?

Would you rather have a cheapskate owner?! A Tom Benson?!

Anyone who doesn't like Snyder is either crazy, anti-Semitic, or jealous of the Skins, IMHO.

That's a stupid thing to say.
