Gregg Williams has been good as a defensive coordinator/head coach for defense (or whatever his official title is), but hasn't proven to be a great head coach when he was given his chance.

But if the choice had to made now, it would have to be Gregg Williams mainly because he has been with the redskins for 2 years now and the advantages that come with that fact.
GW had limited personnel and staffing budgets in buffalo... those don't exist here. he has a great defense, but no one to help him get the offense working. He does have the leadership and he's a good judge of player talent.

Watch a saunders interview and you'll see what he lacks. he's totally uninspiring and you'll be put to sleep REAL fast. he speaks really softly and almost mumbles at times, and he has a hard time relating to people cause he's an X's and O's geek and just likes playing with scheme and numbers more than dealing with people. He's truly a great coordinator though, but i just can't see him being a great head coach.
