How much longer can we keep Gregg Williams?

Benson has to realize that if he gives the guy a little raise along with Coach he might keep him around for another 4 to 5 years. Pay him like a head coach and we'll keep him forever.

My bet after last year was that he would not return. He did.

If he wants another ring in the next 5 years he needs to stay right where he's at and do what he does best.

In the NFL, rings equal greatness. He should keep a perfectly comfortable job like he has and not destroy any chance at coaching greatness by taking a head coaching job on a weak team.

If he goes, it will be all ego. He gets more camera coverage and mention right now than most head coaches and that should keep the ego fed for a while.

He'll get paid more by next season to stay

GW is in the perfect position and many good points have been made here. I think the most important point is that we have a chance to repeat and get more rings. GW is smart but is he smart enough to know when it can't get any better? I hope so.

For GW having Sharper back is like having another Coach on the field. Also he had to deal with the loss of Fujita and a banged up secondary. But if he gets the big offer I think he is gone.

Umm....., yes

I couldn't find Williams' contract info after hitting 5-6 sites, but remember that Payton ponied up $250,000 to get GW here.

Also learned the GW played QB in college. Interesting
