The reason GW DIDNT want the job

Only coaches with previous rings and almost universally accepted clout are given final say over personnel.

The only beef that Pierce ever had with the Redskins is that they didn't play ball in good faith when he became a free agent after his outstanding first year as starting MLB. From all accounts, he loved playing for Williams and quarterbacking our defense. Pierce didn't ask for huge money, which made it even more troubling that he stayed in the division at a bargain rate for one of the best MLB's in the league.
