I think the 3-4 defense wouldn't work unless we had a Glenn Dorsey or Vince Wilfork type of NT. But Suggs & Reed sounds good!!! I think highly of Ryan also.

Spurrier ruined. or at least helped ruin Patrick Ramsey's career, due to his goofy schemes that left the qb w/no pass protection.

Smooter · 01-08-2008, 08:16 PM

Im gonna throw a name out of nowhere. Bob Stoops?

Darrell_Green_28 · 01-08-2008, 08:26 PM

its called Continuity (SP). if cowher is brought in there goes the rest of coaching staff . he would want a 3-4 def and we are set up for 4-3 basically and cowher would probably clean house ... why not Russ Grimm if not Williams.. keep Williams on Def..

Gmanc711 · 01-08-2008, 08:44 PM

If its anyone but Gregg Williams, I think the players are going to have some serious, serious issues with that...I think Gregg has earned it, if we can keep him and Saunders I think were going to be in great shape both offensivley and defensivley.

I think your right, but I am wondering how many coaches retire along with Gibbs?

skinsfan_nn · 01-08-2008, 08:52 PM

IMO when the dust settles GW will be the next head coach of the Redskins.

He has also earned the chance, has the respect of the players and will keep continuity within the organization which is very important.

I see the move of GW into the head coach a no brainer.

T.O.Killa · 01-08-2008, 09:58 PM

One thing that would freak me out, is the Redskins in a 3-4.

henry12portis26 · 01-08-2008, 11:41 PM

I see no chance of Cowher ... and Im glad, he is a great but it would take away from the closeness of the squad and the chemistry would suffer... if he comes in he wants his own guys... Gregg Williams is the man, thats why he resigned before, they already have something hashed out ... I can feel it. Gibbs is the personal advisor to Synder so I guarantee he will be pushing hard for Williams... he knows that hes the answer and Cowher would change the chemistry and look of the team drastically... Gregg Williams learned under one of the best coaches ever to coach in Gibbs for 4 years he learned a lot that he didnt know about when he coached in Buffalo ... he would work good ... the players want him to be HC ... Jerry Gray would step into DC just like in Buffalo ... remember the TOP 5 Defense they had?!?!? Dan Synder learned a lot from Gibbs too..

SmootSmack · 01-08-2008, 11:44 PM

If Blache stays he should get bumped up to Assoc. Head Coach-Defense, then sure give Jerry Gray the D Coordinator job.

Danny Smith could get some consideration for defensive coordinator as well. I know GW really likes him

LongTimeSkinsFan · 01-08-2008, 11:49 PM

My hopes go with GW being named as the successor. While there are several qualified HCs out there without jobs, my concern would be someone outside the organization wanting to bring in their own team of coaches. I think it's extremely important to this team to maintain the philosophies of offense and defense that have been established over the last two years and build a sense of continuity and stability within the organization.

WillH · 01-09-2008, 12:37 AM

I just read on extremeskins that GW did not have that clause in his contract promising 1 mil if he did not succeed Gibbs. Is that true? If so, how did this rumor start?

SBXVII · 01-09-2008, 01:37 AM

It's rumored to be a rumor about the 1 MIll rumor. lol. Funny how when it first came out everone talked about it as if it was solid info. Also at the time when asked I don't remember GW saying it was not true. He was his typical self...laugh and change the topic. When something is not true he is pretty quick to shut it down. I wonder if there was a time limit on the 1 Mill and we are past that or were there stipulations that were not met in order for him to receive the 1 Mill.
Another thing I thought about all day was how it seemed just a couple of months ago that rumor was Snyder had met with Cowher and had an agreement already in place at the end of the season. However I was told that Snyder answered a reporter who asked that question saying He has not met with Cowher since six yrs ago when they played handball or racket ball together.

Swarley · 01-09-2008, 02:30 AM

the question now is, does Snyder remain the patient owner he's been when Gibbs was around, or revert to his old ways of trying to buy a championship?

personally, I feel Snyder has changed for the better since Gibbs has been here and will remain that way.

Luxorreb · 01-09-2008, 05:43 AM

I hope we keep it in house...
Head Coach Gregg Williams.

I'm afraid that Snyder will try to get some yahoo from elsewhere...

Please Joe tell him Gregg!!!
