Greg Williams...Head Coach

[FRPLG]

I love all the people who have said they are worried about Williams as a head coach. Seems no one gives an explanation to why. My guess would be that it is just because he didn't win in Buffalo but we should all know that just because you weren't successful in the win column the first time around doesn't mean you can't do the job well. Hell Belichek sucked in Clevland and look at the guy now. Whether a team wins or loses has a ton of variables some which are completely out of control of the coach. I have heard far more insider types mention that Williams' lack of success in Buffalo can be traced to some of these uncontrollable factors.
Plus you're ignoring the fact that he has gotten to work under two great coaches now in Fisher and Gibbs. He has to have learned something from these guys. Especially Gibbs. How could you work for the guy and not learn a little about being the head coach?

I dont know about making the analysis that just cause someone worked for Gibbs they must have learned lessons that would make them successful...After all what about the coordinator that took over for Gibbs the first time he retired...the redskins werent too succesful under him...

Gee the team had an average age of over 30 and proceeded to go through a massive injury-year immediately following that before Petibon decided he wasn't up for it anymore and Cooke replaced him with Norv. I am not saying he was good at all but we can't really make a judgement on it based on one year. Just like we can't judge Williams on his one stint in Buffalo.

True...and also Joe Bugel wasn't too successful as a Head Coach in the league either. I believe if Richie Pettibone was given another year or so, the Skins might have turned things around...but that was the worst season the skins have had since long before Gibbs had came to Washington. Still, it was a one and done for him.
