Web site says Williams on the short list for HC candidates

[paulskinsfan]

Profootballtalk.com has listed Greg Williams as being on the short list for head coaching positions, and can anyone argue with that? I know many of you insist the guy is going to stick around and take over from Gibbs, but when you are offered a 2nd chance at a HC position you take it. If he goes, he'll take his assistants with him. If we lose GW we are going to be hurting next year b/c our defense has overachieved as it is.


WILLIAMS GETTING A SECOND CHANCE?


A gruff head coach with less-than-ideal people skills who flamed out in his first NFL head coaching job should have trouble landing another gig, right?



Right -- if a guy named Bill Belichick hadn't turned his own second chance into one of the greatest runs by a head coach in NFL history.



So the thinking in some circles is that Redskins defensive coordinator Gregg Williams will eventually get another shot somewhere, when an owner concludes that his three below-average-to-poor years with the Bills don't necessarily translate to failure the next time around.



Williams is a respected coordinator. As a head coach, the thinking is that he lacks the leadership and motivational skills to make a whole team come together. Still, Belichick is no Dale Carnegie -- but Belichick has crafted a system that produces a lot more wins than losses, especially in games that matter.



With a relatively bare cupboard of candidates for all of the jobs that will come open in early 2006, it could be that someone out there takes a leap of faith that Williams could be the next guy to become a coaching star in his second try.
