Who is Next?

Greg Williams would keep some structure in place...and make the best head coach transition.

Also, can we finally get a proven GM. We desperately need one to get this ship back on course.

i think it will be g.w.i'm sure joe has told dan to hire him and that is why he is steping down.just keep everything in place and go from their.no need to change what this org.has in place but you never know.dan maybe will go out and get a big name coach.i see no need in all that but you know dan.please keep things in place and stop all the crazyness this team has been threw this year.

I really won't mind if its Cowher (who I want), Greg Williams, or Al Saunders. I just DON'T want a college coach no matter what or who it is.

A college coach would be no goodto our football team. I think GW could be great.

[chrisl4064]

i think tom cruise is a good bet....

[Daseal]

JoeRedskin: In comparison -- it is youth. I guess 'youth' isn't necessarily what I want but someone with lots of fire and drive -- something I felt Joe was missing. I think Williams has that, and I think Williams has certainly earned his shot.

I'd like to see Williams get the chance to take over for the sake of keeping some continuity going, and Blache stay on as DC. GW has earned a 2nd chance.

I agree,so long as williams lets saunders do his thing on offense,also i'm worried how well the team would accept somebody outside the organization right now.If williams is hired and it doesnt work out after a yr,I'd be for hiring cowher then if he was available

[Hog1]

We sure as HELL do not need a complete new staff/system to "start all over" with! I am sure they will announce the new config.....quick. I imagine Joe has helped, and is helping to define the new org.

With GW as head coach, and knowing nothing about Offense -dont you think Saunders will be calling the shots on O-with that being said JC will most likely not be the starter coming out of training camp because obviously he is more comfortable with Collins. I dont agree with that decision, I would love to see JC lead this team. Then you guys are going to be hating on Saunders. All of it could have been avoided if you get a PROVEN veteran Coach (Cowher). There will still be continuity, we have the leaders of both sides of the ball still in place.

I think to hire anyone but Greg Williams would be an insult to Greg Williams. He has his thumbprint on that team already, they are moving in the right direction, and he desrves the shot. It has to be GW.

Not sure Cowher would be a good fit as HC. A defensive minded HC with a history in the 3-4. If Cowher comes in and Williams stays, it may cause some minor issues in defensive philosophies.

For the life of me I just don't understand why everyone keeps bringing up Bill Cowher. It's just not going to happen. He's going to want full control, which IS NOT going to happen as long as Danny is the owner. He's going to want a 3-4 defense. Last time I checked we DO NOT have 3-4 personel. So that would set things back. And Cowher has said he is happy sitting on his ass doing TV and enjoying life. COWHER IS NOT COMING HERE.

I think he has to at least be in the discussion given he's the biggest name out there. I'd be surprised if he's not on our radar at all.

I don't think Cowher would go anywhere yet. He retired to be with his daughters and family...do you seriously think he'd be sick of it after 2 years? That would be unfair to his family he gave up football for.

I know he'll be back some day. He won't be able to stay away forever, but 2 years?

That's like expecting Gibbs to return again in 2010.
