The Official Thank You G-Will and Al Saunders thread
 

This may seem stupid to some, but I was very disappointed to see Saunders and Williams leave when I got home today and heard the news, and I know I'm late on this but w/e. I'd just like to say thank you to Saunders and Williams for everything they've done for the Redskins, Williams especially because he made this defense what it is today and he's made some very great draft picks that will be solid building blocks for the future. I've been hearing a lot of things about Williams lately, that he's been a part of the problem as much as Snyder was, but I wish him luck elsewhere along with Saunders. Mods I checked to see if there was a thread along these lines, but I didn't see any but just in case I'm wrong please merge.

I'll always root for GW. He was a huge part of me enjoying that first season with Gibbs back.

Good luck to them both (and Bill Lazor) wherever they end up

In any case, I hope that they both land well. Gregg's defenses were the heart of Gibbs 2.0 and Saunders has gotten a bum rap IMO. His offense works if given the chance. I see him landing in St. Louis and resurrecting their offense. Thanks Gregg and Al - I'm sad to see you go.

Wishing Greg and Al only the very best! A very special goodbye to GW I think he was ready for this HC job and got a raw deal. He will be hired quickly. Great days are ahead for GW. Our loss is another teams gain. Hope we don't play his next team anytime soon.

Re: The Official Thank You G-Will and Al Saunders thread
 

It's a nice thought. I never really warmed up to Saunders even though I tried, but GW embodies everything I like in football. I'm sure he's going to be successful somewhere else and I'm happy about that.

I'd like to also give a shout out to Robert McCune.

Re: The Official Thank You G-Will and Al Saunders thread
 

Seriously, though, I think I'll be a Williams fan for a long time, unless he goes to dallas and stomps us or something.

Re: The Official Thank You G-Will and Al Saunders thread
 

Thanks to Gregg and Al you guys will continue having great defenses and offenses while the Redskin go back to sucking.

Re: The Official Thank You G-Will and Al Saunders thread
 

Al never really got it going here, but GW has put his heart into things, and I will miss him. An intense dude, no doubt. Good luck to him--he'll be a head coach yet, IMO.

Re: The Official Thank You G-Will and Al Saunders thread
 

I'll always be a GW fan b/c of the way he gets a D to play together. He gets the most out of the talent he has. I'm kinda scared what we might see next year w/out him here.

AS deserved better than this. I'm not saying that he should stay, as i think that is the decision of the new hc, but AS is a top 3 offensive coord in the league. I know we're all fans here and all but i've got to let it be known to those of you calling for AS head...our offense is not loaded w/ talent...it's got some talent but it's not as loaded w/ talent as alot of us think. AS needed more talent.

Re: The Official Thank You G-Will and Al Saunders thread
 

This is all so sad...this parade of thank you-goodbyes.

Re: The Official Thank You G-Will and Al Saunders thread
 

Best wishes to them and they'll definately be missed.

Re: The Official Thank You G-Will and Al Saunders thread
 

I'm still throwing things about GW leaving. Al didn't really light a fire in me until Collins came in and showed what could be the future.
I still see no reason for GW to leave.

Re: The Official Thank You G-Will and Al Saunders thread
 

I never warmed to AS and couldn't care less. I do think there is more talent here than there was in KC (Dante Hall?) but I think it would be great in St Louis. As for GW, I really like him and the way he publicly handled the criticism of himself as well as the way players almost uniformly sing his praises (AA doesn't like him but who cares). I'm not a "second favorite team" kind of guy but I hope he wins every game not against us and will cheer loudly for his D.
