I think it was then that Gibbs convinced Snyder to open his wallet for Saunders (assuming he became available)
That said, I also think Williams' endorsement helped because Gibbs probably thought "Well Gregg is my successor here, it'd be good to hire someone he would want here as well"

You're probably right because it wouldn't be "Gibbs Like" to make a hasty decision. I had forgotten about the comment Gibbs had made earlier, but now that I do, it all comes together. I'm hoping that between now, and the coming season, Gibbs and Saunders can work out what seems to be a minor glitch in how they're going to coexist when it comes to the playcalling.
