Personally, I can see Williams taking over for a variety of reasons. For starters, if Gibbs stays on as team president he's going to have a significant say in the matter. I can't see Gibbs going after a so called "sexy" hire, I think he would want to minimize the changes as much as possible and hiring from within is the way to go in that respect.

The fact that Williams has stayed on when he could have easily jumped ship a few times for head coaching jobs around the league tells me that some sort of informal agreement may already be in place. Yes I know the $1M buyout that's in place on his contract really doesn't mean much considering we're talking about Snyder, but I still think it represents the fact that this idea has been discussed behind closed doors and some sort of arrangement may already be in place.

I dont think a young first time head coach would be a sexy hire. Tomlin was known to be head coach material but I wouldnt call him a sexy hire.

I think Skins fans have a somewhat skewed notion of GW's appeal to other teams as head coach. I dont really remember his name mentioned as a serious contender for any jobs last season, mentioned maybe but not seriously. I dont think GW is much of a hot item and believe he's still the Skins D coordinator because he didnt have any other options.
