Al Saunders on the way out?

If the 2nd G in Gregg is truly for genius, maybe he sees the direction the league's successful teams (NE, GB, Seattle, Dallas) went this year to a high powered, aggressive offense and wants that to be our hallmark.

Nothing probably frustrated him more than all of the leads the offense didn't expand on because JG took the air out of the ball and his defense ended up giving away too much from being on the field forever. Of course McDaniels (NE), Garrett (Dal) or either GB & Sea coaches aren't coming to coach the offense but he (hopefully) may want to incorporate some of their concepts into our offense.

I'm really think that the only way I can get behind the hiring of Williams is if Saunders stays. If Saunders goes, I don't think that continuity on the defensive is nearly as important as it would be on O. The offense started to click under Collins and I think that Campbell should be able to take a look at that and start to really become a very good player in the scheme, if Saunders goes, all of that is out the window and he has to learn ANOTHER new system. I can pretty much guarantee that means they'll have another down year on that side of the ball.

As for the defense, they were good last year, but GW showed a lot of stubborness when it comes to sticking to gameplans. I can't remember how many times I was screaming at the screen to change his gameplan and bring pressure or whatever and he never did. See: the Pats game, he just stayed in deep coverage even though they were being picked apart.
