Greg Williams: Catch-22?

[sportscurmudgeon]

madisonwm:

Can you tell me the numerous head coaching jobs that Gregg Williams turned down last year? Frankly, I don't think any were offered to him - - including any college jobs.

As for strong oral agreements, they aren't worth the paper they are written on.

Your projection of the Redskins as a winning team with a sensible owner and fiscal sanity (salary cap heaven) means that lots has to change around here. You said that "most HC openings are for sh*thole teams". Please recall that the Washington Redskins have had three HC openings in the last four and a half years. And they've had a losing record over those years too. So at the moment, Williams seems to have accepted a DC job on a sh*thole team; why wouldn't he try to be a HC on a similar team if the opportunity was there?


Here's why Williams will stay on. With bonuses, he makes about $2M a year and there are more than a handful of HCs out there who make less than that. If someone came to him with a $5M per yer deal, my guess is that he would be off like a prom dress.
