Man if I have to read Snyder and big splash one more time in a post I'm going to puke.

These guys on the radio, of whom one was former Skins and Titans player Frank Wycheck, spoke of nothing but praise for Greg Williams.

I think Danny is kind of missing the boat if he does not hired Greg, who is overwhelmingly the "best coach available" for the Skins at this point. Danny may be thinking something long term with another coach and we all know he likes to make a big splash with players and coaches, but I think he needs to look at how other successful teams are doing it these days with continuity and a defensive minded coach. Recent offensive minded coaches have not worked out very well, while defensive coaches instill that toughness and work ethic that all teams need. "Danny.... think defense and hire Greg.... Please!

If GW doesn't get the HC job here he would be out of a job for about 5 seconds. He's HIGHLY respected as a D coordinator.

Firstdown, I hear ya man, but I am just calling it like it is, Snyder loves to go all Hollywood and get the biggest name he can find. Why do you think he runs with Tom Cruise! Maybe he will interview a movie coach like Gene Hackman from the Replacements, or Pacino from Any Given Sunday. Nothing would surprise me.

What if Williams doesn't want the job? As Bram mentioned in his blog, Williams has said before that he enjoys being a coach in DC without having the responsibilities of a head coach. SO then who do you look at? It's rumored thatGrimm interviewed today.

Yeah, the thought that Williams is perfectly happy being where he is is something I had broached a couple of days ago. But the more I think about it, the more I hear, and the more other members here convince me, you'd think he'd at least want one more shot to prove his worth as a head coach.

Yeah seriously.

Get used to it though. Even if he became the most responsible owner in the league we would still hear it from some bozo who can't let go of the past.

If Greg Williams accepts the HC job and Bugel follows Gibbs into resignment then we will need an Associate Head Coach - Defense (Schwartz) and also a Associate Head Coach - Offense (Grimm).

[SmootSmack]

Grimm would need a better title than what he currently has with the Cardinals (Associate Head Coach-Offense) if the Cardinals are going to let him out of his contract.

I just doubt GW would try and change the atmosphere all that much. In the end he comes off as a results guy and not a needless drill sargeant way like Coughlin does.

The Tuna was a hardass too, and quite successful. Personally I don't see how it should be an issue. Also Belicheck doesn't seem like the most cuddly coach, but the players love him because he is a winner.
