Gregg Williams Off the Board
 

Just signed a record breaking contract for an assistant coach in the NFL.

Can get out next year, but scratch him for this year.

Per FOX radio

Well, that was easy. :shrug:

Guess MOhillbilly knew what he was talking about....:thumb:

Oh, well. I wasn't crazy about him anywho...

After Jeff Fisher, he was the best choice, IMO.
Oh well, good luck to him.

From same source: Chiefs expected to sign Herm Edwards

The hottest name on the coaching carousel is officially off the market.

FOXSports.com has learned that Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has signed a record-breaking contract for an assistant to prevent him from interviewing for a head coaching post elsewhere. Sources close to Williams said early Tuesday that Williams agreed to a new three-year deal worth nearly $8 million, well above the financial terms for any coordinator in the NFL.

Williams also agreed not to interview for any head coaching openings this off-season but, according to the source, it doesn't preclude him from taking a gig next year. The source also said that the biggest overriding factor was the fact that his family loves living in the Washington, D.C. area and were ecstatic with the new deal.

Williams was a top candidate in Minnesota, St. Louis and Kansas City, although the Chiefs are expected to hire Jets head coach Herm Edwards.

Chiefs new head coach should be signed within the week then!

well he was probably promised the redskins job after Gibbs leaves....

gibbs is in year 2 of a 5 year deal.


your opinion is bunk nychief.

I wonder how many head coaches make less then he does?

well, Mortenson was right for once...that's what he predicted...Snyder wants him to take over for Gibbs eventually....

funny how a great coordinator one place is handed the keys and the cash while a superior coordinator is shown the door in KC...

:hmmm:

I don't believe for a second that Gibbs is going to fulfull that contract.

Except that he is right.

Apparently. I always thought Gregg Williams had ambition to be head man again. Probably still sees Drew Bledsoe when he closes his eyes.

Promising him the job after the HC retires?

What a novel idea, I wish we would have done that here...
