Gregg Williams likely out in New Orleans


Recommended Posts

Per Rotoworld.com:

According to SI's Peter King, the Rams are "expected" to hire Gregg Williams as defensive coordinator under Jeff Fisher.

Williams is coordinating the Saints' defense in the playoffs, but his contract is up after the season and he is a longtime pal of Fisher. Williams would keep St. Louis' 4-3 alignment in place. He's known for heavy blitzing. It's fair to wonder if Eagles DL coach Jim Washburn might join Williams and Fisher in St. Louis. Washburn's "Wide-9" scheme may not mesh well in Philadelphia if the Eagles hire Steve Spagnuolo as defensive coordinator.

Good for the Panthers or indifferent? I don't suppose the Saints would change much about their defense since it's already not spectacular this year, but Gregg Williams was a huge reason (touted by the media) as to why the Saints won it all two years ago and it was because of his aggression and turnovers for scores.

I am personally glad any time someone in the division loses someone from the coaching staff. The Falcons are almost in a restart mode after the OC and DC left, the Bucs have blown up their coaching staff, and now even the Saints are missing some folks.

Good? Bad? Ugly?

i hope so. can't wait for that douche to be gone from the division.let him and his "remember me" shots hurt the 49ers, seahawks, and cards. i don't care. payton is still a douche as well, though. i doubt that he'll tell the players to stop doing that kind of thing. after all, he hasn't already.

as far as the falcons losing their coordinators..kind of mixed emotions there. i think they had hit their ceiling so i was more than happy for them to stay. better the devil you know than the devil you don't. falcons could easily get better with better coordinators and schemes.

bucs will still suck though.

Yeah Falcons fans seemed to peg everything on Mularkey's scheme, but part of me thinks it played to Matt Ryan's capabilities. He's not a down-the-field QB and there was a reason that Roddy White has the most targets and receptions, but not a lot of yards to show for it. Those dink and dunk curl routes and dumpoffs killed me, and I think the check downs said more about Matt Ryan than it did Mike Mularkey. An offense that asks Matt Ryan to pass more and take more chances? Yes please. The playoffs show how mistake prone he is when the game is entirely in his hands.

Saints take less time than anyone to score leaving that D on the field for a long time. In NO and GB's defense, stats really don't tell the whole story.

Glad he's gonna be gone, but the dirty attitude comes from Mr Oxy himself.

Falcons are heading to decline mode. The window is closing on them. Can't compete in the playoffs. They remind me of the 2008 Panthers except they have Ryan instead of Jake. Might need to get rid of Mike Smith as well.

    • Evero to the Raiders makes zero sense unless the OC he's pitching them is a failed HC who doesn't have interest in trying for it again. They're a team about to draft a QB #1 overall, developing him is job #1 for the new coach/staff.  Hiring a DC with a young up and coming OC wouldn't make any sense, because then you risk losing that OC to a HC job after maybe just a year or two and that young QB has to change system, play caller, etc. It's why hiring an offensive minded coach makes the only sense.  The Raiders have to make the right hire/pick with this HC hire and #1 pick combo because of that division they're in, it's a gauntlet and you can't screw up this opportunity.  
    • 1. Sadly, it's just too early to tell with Icky. And the draft will have come and gone before we have anything, FA, too probably. Njiman was good, but there's dollars to be invested there as well. This is really our biggest puzzle to figure out. And Moton on the other flank is getting long in the tooth, too.  2. Coker: Pay the man WR2 money.  3. Most WRs take three years before you really know what you've got. We'll know for sure by the end of this one and he's still on a relatively inexpensive rookie contract. Now if someone comes calling for a good, good trade... 4. This is the make or break for good teams vs bad teams. And depth development is essential. We've had a bit of that but there isn't a spot on our line that doesn't have worries except for maybe on guard.  5. I think you draft the best ILB, the smartest one in the first round and don't look back. People lost their poo here on this board when we "wasted" a pick on Luke Kuechly.  6. Yeah, I think Chuba is a workhorse. But we need to be more decisive in his use. Still not sure Rico doesn't come back next season, too. He'll get to see the marketplace first, though, and we'll offer similar numbers to him.  
    • I've grown to enjoy Mike & Tripp, even more so after listening to the ESPN, TNT, TBS hacks who, for whatever reason, seemingly don't know dick about the Canes.
