Who is Next?

[JoeRedskin]

A few random thoughts on the new staff under Williams:
1. I bet Blache retires. Apparently that was something in the offing and may yet occur.
2. Jerry Gray becomes DC and S. Jackson becomes backfield coach.
3. Don Breaux, Joe Bugel, Rennie Simmons & Jack Burns follow Coach Joe into retirement.
4. Saunders is retained as OC and creates a new offensive staff in his image.

Damn, no one wants Pettibone?

GW gets the job, no questions!

The man earned his chance at receiving at least a 2 year deal to show what he can do, further, as everyone seems to agree you keep most of your assistants on. I think you get smart with how you speak to Al letting him know that he is next in line if GW cant get it done, this would be the only way to keep him around + he wont get any Head Coach offers anywhere else right now. Lastly, he won’t make the money as an assistant anywhere else.

Im telling you all that GW wouldn’t have stayed two years ago, with head coach offers, had Dan not promised him the job upon Joe's departure. I would have to say all signs point to GW, and if Snyder has half a brain he has learned a few things about football over the past few years and should know a shake-up will only impede our current progressiveness!

anybody think snyder wiil piss off jerry jones and the cowbitches,and go after wonderboy jason garrett?if williams IS'NT named HC does'nt he get like a 7 figure buy out???i could live with cowher at lot more than i can williams.he's like norv,a great coordinator an awful head coach!!!

I think Billick and Cowher are the same coach. Tough guys that build solid teams but they both got lucky with their superbowl wins. The steelers had alot of heartache( Kordell Stewart years) while cowher was there and fans seem to ignore that since he got one ring.

If you want a proven champion, Get Vermeil( I don't want him, But he's proven he can win anywhere).


I would like to see Gwilliams have another shot. I like his personality, I think he will be a good headcoach.

If not him, I want someone young and mean with playing experience. I want Grimm or Mike Singletary.

Mike Shanahan sucked his first coaching job with the raiders. Belichek(SP?) sucked witht he browns. Gwilliams sucked with the bills but it's time he got another shot.

[redskinsfanatic]

i could go with grimm,but not singletary!!!

[NYCSkin]

It should be Willliams. He would be the best fit right now. But I think that Williams and Saunders will have a problem working together. They just don't seem to mesh well and I think Gibbs was the balance between them. I would not be surprised to see Williams get the job but we end up looking for a new OC. Here's an idea--get Mike Martz--who runs the same system Saunders does--and who I believe Williams respects and likes.

I've come around on Williams. I wanted him out at the end of the season after seeing almost 2 seasons of that Cover 2 getting picked apart, particularly in the 2nd half of games this year. However, from the Bears game on Williams is back to his old aggressive style and thrown out the Cover 2. Reading some of the info that the players on O & D want him to get the HC job shows that he has learned from Gibbs and is toning down the ego. I think with keeping our roster, coaching staff and O & D systems consistent, if we stay healthy next year we are in a good position.

If we keep GW as HC, our first immediate priority MUST be to get a GM. Cerrato will not get it done.

No way to Cowher. Let him do his return tour somewhere else.

If we don't hire GW as HC, we need to get the GM first and then go after Ron Rivera as HC.

Honestly, I just don't know. I really don't want Cowher because while he did win a super bowl, he was conservative in play calling. He had a good Oline to run the ball, and while ours is good, it's old. I like Cowher, don't get me wrong, but Campbell needs to fly, and I don't think he will in a Cowher run team. So my vote was for Saunders from the simple standpoint of thinking about the offense and getting it running to 100%.
I do not want Williams as a HC...he proved to be a poor HC, but a good DC. Although, I could go for Williams as DC IF they brought in a great DC along the lines of Marvin Lewis or something.
In other words, I'd prefer that the Skins kept everything in house in terms of promotions to keep the same offenses and defenses. We were just now "getting it", and to bring in a new coach means he will bring in a new system and other new coaches and now we're back to a 3-5 year plan.

[RMSkins]

I definitely want GW. If we bring back an outsider, especially Cowher, we will essentially be starting over. If GW becomes HC we can keep our roster intact, and the chemistry going, plus it sounds like the players are really lobbying for GW.

[Ocliw]

If Saunders was to get the job I would imagine he would stick with TC.I may be wrong,but I just don't want to see JC back on the bench.

[Daseal]

No thanks!! He's an Imbecile, why go backwards. I'm sure you Cowboy fans would love for us to pick the wrong coach.

Stop being a douche, sfredskins. Sandtrapjack has been a member of this board longer than you and has been a great poster. Part of what makes this site great is we have regular posters from other persuasions. They add some balance in with the homerism to help give us the full perspective.

Hey diesel, I won't be childish like you and start with name calling. I'm just expressing my opinion I never insulted Sandtrapjack, if anything I even said his Cowboys would win the SB in another post. What happened to the good old ribbing? I said Billick is an Imbecile, not him. Chill out!!

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Everyone chill. Remember, personal attacks on fellow members violate the forum guidelines.

[jsarno]

I've been sitting here thinking and thinking of who's next, and I just don't know. There is good and bad with every scenario. I just don't want to tear up this team after we started to get it right finally.
