If Gibbs Goes, Who coaches next year?

Good points from both of you. My sense is that if Dan Snyder had the power to dismiss assistant coaches, Williams would have been gone last year, and Saunders would have been shown the door at some point over the last few games. Snyder's patience has no doubt worn thin for these two guys. I'd bet he's chomping at the bit to take the axe to someone.

But he won't dare touch Gibbs.

Not trying to be a smartass, but how do you know "Snyder's patience has no doubt worn thin...?" Have there been public statements or interviews that would confirm this statement? Also, all the talk about Cowher possibly coming to D.C. has not addressed the very real possibility of him going somewhere else like Charlotte. They suck more than we do and they may be ready to pull the trigger for a new coach after this season. Didn't Cowher purchase property in N.C. somewhere anyway?
