Hahah! Not yet...but....I think this is very possible. Steve Spurrier is supposedly not interested in the job anymore so maybe Greg Williams will go there. He would be a great Defensive Coach.
Opinions? Thoughts?

You've simply GOT to believe that he's also having more fun this year than the heartache that it was to be in NY. Not that we've got a great record, but signs of turnaround are everywhere, and Gibbs has a plan for the future. I think that Williams has to be drawn to the fact that if he's still here in 2-3 years he could be looking at coaching one of the top-rated defenses in the league to the Superbowl with a top-notch offense to back it up.

Besides, unlike other coordinators we've had in the past, this guy has got to be feeling all the love that we keep sending him. He's amazing!

There is no way Miami is going to hire another defensive minded coach for the Head coaching job. Look for them to go after Fassell or one of the new Offensive geniouses out there.

I feel that Williams won't leave anytime soon.

And the Dolphins need an offensive coach, anyways.

remember the story of how gibbs went to buffalo to whoo williams to the skins? well williams stated that the skins promised him certain things... i'm willing to bet one of those is when gibbs retires (which i think is 3 or 4 years) williams get the HC job... williams won't leave after this year, maybe not even next year. year 3 will be interesting.

Thats what I thought they were going to do from the get go, gibbs stays 5 years, melds williams into his likeness and takes over afterwords and I bet he's turning Coy into his offensive protege'

"We knew what we were getting with Marvin," said middle linebacker Antonio Pierce, one of just five Redskins defenders remaining from Lewis' Washington tenure. "It was obvious that he was only going to be here for a year. He almost left for Michigan State before the season was over. It's different now with Gregg [Williams]. There's security. We know the coaches will be here next year."

Williams said in a WP article that he isn't going anywhere. His kids are enrolled in local schools and he's not moving them again.

I'm almost positive that when Gibbs decides to move into the front office or retire for good, Williams will be the new HC.

I think you're right. I believe Williams will be our next HC. I think that his offensive problems will be lessened if this happens because he's learning our offensive system. I think that he's going to leave it intact being that its his weakness.

I don't think Coy is being groomed for the position. I don't think coaching has a pedigree just yet. If he does come into that position it'll be way down the line. I think that Williams will be head coach and Coy will someday move up through the ranks before being a head coach.

I've been really impressed by Gregg Williams. The defense is awesome. And Williams just seems like a really cool guy. I think I enjoy his pre and post game interviews more than when somebody is talking to Gibbs!

Anyway, I'd definitely be in favor of giving Williams a shot as HC one day. For one thing, he's been a head coach and hopefully learned from his mistakes in Buffalo. Second, hopefully he will learn a few things working with Joe Gibbs.

I'd take Gregg Williams in a second over some college coach like Nick Saban. Been there already...

The Dolphins already found a new guy. He's some old guy.

What's with this website erasing all my posts? Huh? What's up with that?

I hope Greg Williams stays here, With the Defense we have and if and when our Offense gets rolling we will be awesome, We need Williams to stay

G. Williams wants to remain with team

By Mark Zuckerman
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Washington Redskins assistant head coach for defense Gregg Williams said yesterday he plans to remain with the club in his current role for some time, and has no current aspirations to become an NFL head coach again.
"From the very first day I got here, I told the guys I'm here — I'm here for as long as [owner] Dan [Snyder] wants me to be here," Williams said. "I can't say how many years, but I'm going to be here for quite awhile. I've got kids in school in this community that are more important to me than picking up and going around the league and coaching everywhere else."

Head coach of the Buffalo Bills for three seasons before joining Joe Gibbs in Washington, Williams has been receiving national attention for his work with the Redskins' injury-plagued defense. Entering Sunday's game against Cincinnati, the unit ranks first in the NFL in total defense, first in average yards a play, first in third-down efficiency and third in scoring defense. All this despite lingering injuries to linebackers LaVar Arrington and Mike Barrow, defensive end Phillip Daniels and safety Matt Bowen.
Though his name has yet to come up in regards to any specific head jobs, Williams is likely to be the subject of rumors once the season ends and positions become open.
The situation bears some resemblance to the one Marvin Lewis faced two years ago when he left the Redskins after one season as defensive coordinator to become the Bengals' head coach. Williams insists he is not using his current job as a steppingstone to something bigger and that he wants to be on Gibbs' staff as long as the Hall of Fame coach remains in Washington.
"This organization needs continuity," said Williams, who some players have privately suggested could succeed Gibbs when the latter retires. "That's why they hired Joe Gibbs. And quite honestly, that was one of the things behind the scenes that Joe and I talked long and hard about — the continuity with him and I."
Roster loophole
The Redskins signed wide receiver Gari Scott to the practice squad and released defensive back Omare Lowe late yesterday afternoon, a seemingly insignificant transaction that actually brought to light a tactic the club has discovered to get around the league's roster regulations.
Several onlookers at practice were surprised to find both Scott and Lowe in uniform two days after the club announced it had released Scott. That gave the Redskins nine players on what by NFL rules is supposed to be an eight-man practice squad.
The club, though, has found a loophole in the league's roster rules that allows it to carry an extra man. According to team officials, an unsigned player can participate in the daily afternoon workout so long as he is officially signed to the roster (and another player released) by 4 p.m. EST.
Thus, the Redskins were able to dress nine practice squad players yesterday before formally whittling it down to the required eight-man limit at the end of the day by cutting Lowe.
The only catch? Washington must be willing to pay for the services of the extra man. Practice squad players make $73,950 a year, so Lowe received 1/17th of that ($4,350) for what amounted to two days of work.
The Redskins have used this tactic several times this season, signing and releasing players to their practice squad nearly every week in an effort to put extra bodies in uniform.
NFL officials did not return phone calls seeking confirmation of the obscure roster rule.
O-lineman plays D-line
Rookie offensive tackle Jim Molinaro saw his first professional action on a play from scrimmage in Sunday's 17-10 win over Detroit. Molinaro, though, made his debut in a most unlikely place: on defense.
After starting defensive end Phillip Daniels went down with a groin injury during the game, the Redskins found themselves short a defensive lineman. Since Williams often uses five down linemen in goal-line situations, he had no choice but to summon Molinaro to play nose tackle on a fourth-quarter play at the 1-yard line.
"My job is pretty easy: I just line up at the nose, hit the gaps and keep the linemen off the linebackers," said Molinaro, a sixth-round pick from Notre Dame. "I played defense my first three years in college. But I never thought my first actual, regular game [in the NFL] would come on the D-line."
Molinaro's time on defense was brief. Lions quarterback Joey Harrington tossed a touchdown pass to fullback Cory Schlesinger on first down, and Molinaro returned to the sideline after that.

YEAH!!!!!! And they are sneaky with that roster move thing
