Gregg Williams To Interview with Broncos

exile · 01-05-2011, 01:58 PM

"The Broncos will interview interim coach Eric Studesville and Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey (a former head coach at Buffalo) and will ask permission to interview Giants defensive coordinator Perry Fewell (who had been an interim coach in Buffalo) and Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. The list will grow in the next two days."

Does anyone else find it ironic that the man who refused to play for the Colts is now an executive?

I am surprise that Williams is even interviewing for a HC position.

I thought Williams was a smart man to realize he doesn't have what it takes to be a HC so stay at DC.

If Elway hires him. That will be the first mistake he makes and the clock starts ticking to he is fired, lol.

They're going to hire an offensive minded coach for Tebow... if they feel he is their future franchise quarterback imo. I think if they don't go with Studesville, Mularkey will be their guy.

They are asking for permission to interview him. I'd say no until playoffs are over.

GW isn't going anywhere.....New Orleans is the perfect place for him. He has complete control on the defensive side of the ball and next season he might actually get some talent to coach. He has a powerful offense here that can make the other team get in catch up mode real quick. That is good for a D coordinator. Besides Sean will talk Benson into matching any amount necessary to keep him.

I agree, he's not diplomatic enough to be a head coach. He's in the best possible scenario right now which is total control of the defense, a good salary and like you said, he'll get some say so in the draft. Why would he want to give all that up for a fat paycheck for walking into a bad situation. It's just not worth it long term. It's likely to fail and then his reputation takes a big hit.
