GW not only should be kept as d-coordinator, he should be the successor to Gibbs as his contract stipulates ($1 mil if he's not hired as hc).

He has paid his dues & grown as a coach in DC. The 2006 debacle changed him a lot I think, humbled him & made him better for 07.

He's a perfect replacement for Gibbs; he's already here, he's learned from a hall of famer & he's hungry to succeed as a head coach, unlike somebody like Cowher who has already won it all.

Williams will certainly alienate some players, but he won't let them get over either. He's had 4 years to learn patience & temperment under Gibbs & I think he'll be a fine head coach so long as he & the Danny's egos don't collide too much.
