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.

I think the issue is that they are settled in NC, and DC would be a lot closer than Pittsburgh.

If Snyder hires a college coach he might as well re-sign Deion Sanders,Bruce Smith and start this whole damn I'm a gillionaire with a play toy thing over again.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I just heard on the Junkies(local DC talk radio) that Gibbs is staying on as an advisor to help Snyder pick the next head coach. Gibbs top choice... Bill Cowher.

As I said, take it with a grain of salt, but one of the Junkies is close to an executive in the Redskins organization and he's usually right when tossing out rumors...

No, he might as well resign...sell it all to someone who cares.

My guess is that Danny has learned from his past mistakes (e.g., Spurrier), has his finger on the pulse of the Redskins players, and will keep Grilliams and Saunders here with Grilliams playing the starring role as HC.

I don't want Cowher. I think he is overrated and does not fit Washington very well. I don't really think Williams will be a success either, but I have to say the continuity piece is important. You have to keep Saunders for that to work though. Saunders proved once again that his system will work if you have capable players(Collins) to execute it.

I would like the team to promote Greg Williams to head coach, retain Al Saunders as assistant head coach - offensive and promote Greg Blache to assistant head coach - defense. This would maintain continuity in both offense and defense. Unfortunately, if Greg Williams is promoted, I would be surprised if Al Saunders stays. If Dan Snyder decides to go another way, please do not hire a college coach. I would prefer a veteran head coach with winning experience. I like Bill Cowher. I hate Mike Martz as a head coach but as an offensive coordinator, he is ok.

Spurrier is in year 4 of the rebuilding process at South Carolina and he has already stated he is not leaving after putting so much work into the program already. Alabama tried to lure him away before going with Saban, so Spurrier is staying with the Gamecocks and recently signed anohter extension.

Honestly, no! I have no hard feelings toward Steve Spurrier, heck he's one of the best HC ever to coach in college, but his offense just had too many holes and it just seemed as if there was no structure in playcalling. Spurrier needs to stay coaching in college. Let's keep Al Saunders.

The thought of Spurrier returning gives me explosive diarrhea...zing!

LOL Oh please use that as your sig at least until someone can top that, which won't be easy.

I would bet decent money that Greg Williams will be our next head coach. I think Saunders will stay unless he is courted with a head coaching job, which I doubt will happen.

[djnemo65]

What about Urban Meyer? JK.

Knowing Snyder's style, I think a lot of this will come down to internal interviews with star players and team leaders. If they give GW the endorsement you have to think it will be him. If they give Snyder any ammunition at all to justify going for the big hire he will take it and run with it.

I have said this in other threads but Cowher, while obviously a good man and great coach, seems like the kind of hire that's doomed to fail. He is going to want full control first of all. Second it will constitute a complete deconstruction of the current coaching infrastructure, as he'll certainly bring his boys with him. Finally, and most importantly, the local expectations will go through the roof, incommensurate with the team's talent level. As was the case in the past, that's a recipe for disaster.

Whoever gets the job,I just hope like hell Jason C. will be the starter next yr.

Gonna be hard enough for him and all the players to adjust to this ongoing soap opera,but to take his job away sure would mess with his development and his mindset.

If its anyone besides GW all the assistants will be gone. He will want his own guys.
