I also would have liked to have seen GW and Saunders given a fair chance as well when Gibbs left. They have very good football minds. There are several coaches that found the promise land on their second HC jobs like Tom Coughlin, Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden to name a few. GWilliams is not a bad coach.

The ones you mention didn't do too bad in their first HC jobs either. Coughlin with Jacksonville, Dungy with Tampa Bay and Gruden with Oakland. Not to continue the disagreement, but Williams didn't come close to what these others did in his first HC job.

Even Bill Bellichick got fired by the Browns.

There is always an exception to the rule. But there is just as much a chance that Williams will never be a good HC as there is that he will. I'm not saying he never will be. I just don't follow those who seem so sure he will be. His record doesn't support it. Bellichick also led Cleveland to their last playoff win in 91. So he had some success there. Every coach that gets fired is not a bad coach. But I would say their records speak louder than if they were fired or not.
