Yeah I agree that Gibbs apparently wanted Williams to succeed him, and that obviously isn't happening now. But I don't think it's fair to any of the parties involved to assume that's all Gibbs suggested.
For all we know, he also said:
-Someone needs to succeed Williams and I think Blache deserves it
-Olivadotti's contract is up. The players like him, let's make sure he gets an extension
-Scott Campbell has done a really good job scouting college players the last few years. He should be promoted
And so on. Incidentally, all of the above speaks to "continuity" I mean, I'm not saying this is what happened necessarily. But I don't think we should limit the whole conversation to what happened with Williams.
