Payton and the Saints were able to find a way to make it work, but not a lot of teams and owners out there are going to be comfortable and go along with that type of arrangement... My hunch is that, it's not money that is keeping Williams here, it's not looking for a better team or better opportunity to win either....so I kinda don't think Williams leaves the Saints, unless it's for a head coaching position AND a promotion for his son as well -- like Williams as head coach, with his son as defensive coordinator, that is the type of situation I could see him leaving us for. And I don't know whether Fisher would agree to that, and I don't think the son is quite ready for that kind of jump yet. This is just my theory about it, based on reading between the lines in the articles I've read.
Nepotism as much as abilty, if not more so in some cases, gets you into NFL management and coaching...
