2.) Snyder and Williams have never had a strong relationship, made worse over the past couple of years. Yet Gibbs served as a buffer to the two of them. And once Gibbs left, the two of them (Williams and Snyder) knowing that Gibbs wish apparently was for Williams to assume the reigns tried desperately to make it work. Hence the three or four very lengthy interviews. But ultimately their differences were simply too much.
It was my understanding that when a coach is fired, they only receive the pay guaranteed by their previous contract when they do not get a job elsewhere. But if they sign another contract, they then are paid only by their new team.
