Does Greg Williams stay on as DC next year?

MatthewT · 12-04-2009, 06:13 PM

Depends on if he really wants to be a HC again or not. My money is he is gone. The good news for the Saints is there will probably be very few vacancies after this year. Most of the bad teams have first year coaches, so it's safe to assume they get some time to get there stuff together. Washington is the one I would worry about most, and maybe Houston, Chicago, or Carolina. I doubt Chicago or Carolina is firing their coach, but Houston is a strong possibility. I sure hope the Saints find a way to keep him around.

If he does leave who's out there to replace him? Any big timers?

There are to many big name going to be hired on for next year and i think we have him one more year.

I pray he does. He is the reason we are knocking fools out with his aggressive style of D. I loved that hit Sharp put on Kevin F.

I think he still has it hard for a HC job. Depends on what we do this year.

I knew almost nothing about Gregg Williams when it was reported we were interviewing him for the defensive coordinators position. Last year we had the number one offense again and finished at 8-8. I really believe that GW single handedly got us over the hump. His aggressive defense pounded the offense and toughened them up while changing the finesse attitude and bringing swagger to the team. He can scheme with the best and brings out the best in his players. That being said I believe he is here next year and helps us continue to ride the wave that we're on. We need him and he's learning a lot from Payton on running a winning franchise. He is an an excellent place in New Orleans, but he may look to make a change after a couple of years.
