GREGG WILLIAMS WITHDRAWS NAME FOR BRONCOS JOB
 
1 Attachment(s)
The New Orleans Times-Picayune's Jeff Duncan reports that Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams will withdraw his name from consideration for the Broncos' head coaching job.

Williams is said to have made the decision after discussing the situation with family and his players. He's done mostly a good job with the Saints defense, but Williams wouldn't be going into any interview on an upswing, as his defense got annihilated by the Seahawks Saturday. Former interim coach Eric Studesville and Giants DC Perry Fewell have already interviewed for the job, and Texans OC Rick Dennison and Jaguars OC Dirk Koetter will interview Tuesday. Former Panthers coach John Fox will interview Wednesday after having his Monday meeting postponed due to snow.

GW loves it here...

That being said, we need to do alot better than our last performance, he needs more talent to work with.

lumm0x 01-11-2011 11:50 AM

Glad to hear. I like having a HC/OC who is aggressive and plays with the pedal down and I like it in a defense too. I have always believed that you try to dictate your will and force your game on both sides of the ball. I tired of the bend but don't break defenses. I want us attacking at all times and living and dying by the sword.

Hope you stick around Gregg. Consistent coaching and scheme will only make us better.

That Broncos position, too many unknowns I was certain he'd pass. Money is always a factor but if it's the main one then it's the wrong decision. Good for him. I hope he gets a lot of say so in the draft but we need a RB first and foremost. One that doesn't constantly break or become chinese drywall to the team. That one position killed us this year.

cajun911 01-11-2011 11:58 AM

This is good news! Now lets get this guys some new players!

Danno 01-11-2011 12:13 PM

Upgrade OLB, DT, DE and watch this defense dominate in 2011.

Also, there's a kazillion free-agents out there that he can review and bring in his type players as possible starters, back-ups and special teamers.

This is an attractive team to sign with so we have an advantage over most teams.

subguy 01-11-2011 12:15 PM

I agree that with some upgrades in personnel GW will develop a dominate D in the coming year.

What is "Chinese Drywall"?

Ashley 01-11-2011 01:52 PM

Nice! Defense in the draft, lets get some more "suck it" from greg!!!

GREG WILLIAMS
 
Just heard on espn radio that Greg Williams told Denver thanks but no thanks fo the job. So happy he's staying in NOLA

RaginCajun83 01-11-2011 04:15 PM

I knew he wasn't going there when the story first broke, just didnt' make sense for him to go there, that pantry is more bare than ours on D

Belair57 01-11-2011 06:48 PM

well he did say during superbowl week that as long as drew and SP were on the other side of the ball in NO. then he would stay because he thinks they have something special.

lynwood 01-11-2011 07:39 PM

That's very good news!!

Mardigras9 01-11-2011 07:50 PM

He knows he is a few players from another ring in N.O. Good

ClintSaints 01-12-2011 12:15 AM

Denver is way too cold and snow in the winter and it's awful to drive in. Very glad GW decided to stay in New Orleans where it's 60 degrees in winter lol.

MatthewT 01-12-2011 01:08 AM

He knows he has a good thing going in New Orleans. The defense had an overall good year but was exposed in the playoffs. A few more added pieces and things should work out fine. On the offense side a true running game needs to be found to take the pressure off the defense and to help get that big play offense rolling again.

I am glad for him he took his name out of the running in Denver. That situation is not very good right now.

SP knows a little something about chinese drywall!! After dealing with it in his own house, he ought to have been able to spot it with his rb's!

Glad he took his name out of the hat. We'll see what happens now.

Benson and Payton can stop hyperventilatin'.
Seriously, the NFL is going through too much change lately even for my liking. Teams just have to chill out and get their teams better and not looking for the quick fix.
Thank you Gregg for staying!:bng:

st thomas 01-12-2011 11:15 AM

i hope he's staying because what that last play of the year left in his mouth i pitty the defense in 2 a days next july. go gw go

Williams decides to stay with Saints, won't pursue Broncos job

New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is withdrawing from consideration for the Denver Broncos head coaching job, according to a league source.

Williams will not interview with the Broncos Wednesday as expected. After discussing the opportunity with family, friends, and Saints players, Williams felt as if he needed to remain in New Orleans with his current team after a tough playoff loss in Seattle, the source said Tuesday.

"He didn't feel like he could stand in front of the defense in a team meeting (Tuesday) morning and tell them the things they need to do to win another Super Bowl, and then board a plane to Denver," according to the source.

Williams, who will be entering his third season as Saints coordinator, would like to be a head coach again, sources said, under the right timing and conditions, but was not comfortable doing so now. Williams was previously a head coach with the Buffalo Bills, compiling a 17-31 record during the 2001-03 seasons, and has coached in Tennessee, Washington and Jacksonville as well.
Wow.

New Orleans food does it's magic again :-)

He made me fall back in man-love with him again.

We're lucky to have him as our DC. The Seattle game was a disaster, but I think its the exception, not the rule.

Give him a bit more speed at OLB and DE, and beef up the DT's a bit and this defense can be dominant.

subguy 01-14-2011 06:59 AM

I think he has done a great job for the most part. I was curious why it didn't seem we were bringing it much against the Seahawks, but the game was a defensive train wreck. We had a few others this season where it appeared we were either out coached, outplayed or the combination.

Get the man a Strong Safety not named Harper; and a mammoth defensive tackle, and a big defensive end...
