This makes it seem as if Saunders is going to come here and jump ahead of GWilliams in the coaching pecking order. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Lets face it the title assistant head coach is just that, a title, makes guy's feel more important, I am sure both will have equal billing on their side of the ball, all that matters is ultimatly you have one man in charge of everyone and that's Gibbs.

Williams ability to do his own thing on defense should only enhance Saunders to sign on with Gibbs, knowing he will call the shots on offense should be a comfort for him. I am also fairly sure he is very familar with Gibbs, his style, and how he treats his coaches, I hope this works out.
