Gregg Williams’ NFL career likely is over
 

The Commissioner may reinstate him after the 2012 season, but former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams most likely is done — at least at the NFL level.

Reaction to his September 14, 2012 sworn statement has been swift and it has been clear. Per multiple sources, the feeling around the league is that players will not want to play for Gregg Williams in light of the perception that he “snitched” on Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma by signing a document claiming that Vilma offered $10,000 to anyone who knocked former Vikings quarterback Brett Favre out of the 2009 NFC title game.

Some players have used strong and colorful language, so strong and so colorful that we won’t repeat it unless and until someone chooses to attach their name to it. The bottom line, as we explained last night, is that no NFL players will follow or trust Williams, especially in light of that ridiculously over-the-top “kill the head” rant from the night before a January 2012 game against the 49ers.

I don't have a problem with what he did or said in the locker room. I do have a problem with his throwing Vilma and others under the bus to save his skin in front of Roger. Let him burn.

Yes!

I hear the Universtiy of Arkansas might be looking for a coach soon... Good luck, Gregg! Don't let the door hit ya in the ass on your way out of the league!

What organization will ever trust him again?
I doubt even arena football even wants him

If Vick and Stallworth can be rehired why not Greg Williams?

Re: Gregg Williams’ NFL career likely is over
 

Because they didn't throw teammates under the bus. Though, if you ask me, Stallworth should still be in jail for killing a guy.

There is a video of the man stepping directly out in front of his car. It was determined it wouldn't have mattered if he was sober there was no way he could have avoided the man. That is why he isn't in jail.

Re: Gregg Williams’ NFL career likely is over
 

Stallworth got lucky that the video showed that the guy was an idiot, Vick should never be allowed to play another down in the league. There's no way that GW gets another chance after he's back besides in St Louis because Fisher is keeping his job for him besides that he would be finished.... I really don't care what he said because the players tuned him out but now he's become Goddell's little ***** and turned on Vilma, that I have a problem with

Re: Gregg Williams’ NFL career likely is over
 

Williams caused the same problems in Washington, there was no way he was getting the HC job with the Skins. The whole time he was here I was just waiting for the real Gregg Williams to cause some issues. Never in my wildest dreams did I figure he could cause so much damage to this team.

Is Gregg Williams the most hated Saint ever? I can't think of anyone close.

Can GW ever have a safe meal in New Orleans anymore?

Re: Gregg Williams’ NFL career likely is over
 

Personally I feel Brooks caused me moe grief but both guys had good moments too and did good things for the franchise.

Goodell will hire him as the "Director of Bounty Prevention".

Just like the CIA and FBI, you need a criminal to find a criminal.

Re: Gregg Williams’ NFL career likely is over
 

I had a feeling something like this was brewing, wrote this back in May:

Bountygate Evidence - NFL's Trump Card?

Re: Gregg Williams’ NFL career likely is over
 

Interesting how that last sentence is written.

Williams back the NFL's claims.... Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Re: Gregg Williams’ NFL career likely is over
 

Now that makes sense, but at the time no one knew Williams was making any claims. Back in May it was only the NFL making these accusations and no one knew what evidence they were referencing.

Re: Gregg Williams’ NFL career likely is over
 

In May they may have been referencing the only information they had... Cerillo.

The different versions and stories coming up now puts the information they had in the early stages of The Inquisition into question.

They may have had other information, but really feel it was limited (useless) - why else would they show the players "evidence" at the appeal that came out after the suspensions were handed out.

Would still like to see the report from the guy Benson hired...

Screw him, he's a little rat. Dirt bag, and just a plain idiot

f*ck Gregg Williams

Re: Gregg Williams’ NFL career likely is over
 

I honestly do not care about him anymore. What's done is done. I said right after we won our Super Bowl, which I never thought I'd see in my lifetime, that it completed me as a fan. Anything else was gravy to me. In fact the team never had to win another game ever again and it could not deflate that for me. Gregg Williams was a part of that and I thank him for it.

He was not doing anything he didn't do anywhere else nor that wasn't going on everywhere else. I don't want to hear one more hypocrite say that every football program, pro, college, high school, etc. has not at some time had players or coaches drop some non-official compensation for a good play or paid for outstanding performance in some way or another that would be deemed outside normal practice. Bottom line, we and everyone else out there has always had these CBA/salary cap violating things occur. If we deserve punishment for that and have to fall on the sword for everyone because of it then so be it. And likewise, it is the same hypocracy that is spouted that there is no intent to injure players elsewhere in our league or any.

I had high school coaches offer a case of beer to anyone who takes the opposing QB out of the game. Many former players have flat out admitted it's been a long history of the game. I talked with a former player and member of the HOF about 2 weeks ago, and I'll not name names, but he told me he wanted someone's head on the ground on every play. He always wanted to injure a player and needed no compensation to want it. It is an intrinsic part of the sport. You hit to hurt and defeat your opponent through physicality. People need to stop denying this. Of course you have to walk the political line and for the cameras state good sportsmanship, but you play like a possessed demon and hope you cart off everyone when playing within the rules of the game. Hurting someone through an illegal act such as targetting a knee of a crack block isn't cool. Meeting a back shoulder first in the hole and having him broken and unable to keep rushing is just damn good football.

Gregg Williams had 2 choices. I think he acted out of spite against those that showed him no loyalty and is doing the same in return.
