Gregg Williams to the Cowboys?

GMScud · 02-05-2008, 01:45 PM

This would be so awful.
Clipped from JLC's Blog:

Former Redskins assistant head coach - defense, Gregg Williams, has drawn strong interest from Jacksonville, Dallas and Tennessee - sources said his agent had several lengthy meetings with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones in Arizona during the Super Bowl festivities - and Williams could decide on his destination shortly (he would also has one year left on his deal with the Redskins, so the lawyer may have ot get involved to untangle that web as well).

If he signs with them, maybe since he's under contract with us we can get some compensation, as in draft picks.

No compensation if he was fired, which he was.

Now if he opted out of his contract for a higher position on another team without being fired, then yes, draft compensation could possibly enter into the equation.

I believe the NFL rule is that there can be compensation for taking a head coach but there is NO compensation for coordinators or position coaches.

I don't know what the rule for GMs/personel directors might be.

I thought there wasn't compensation as long as they got a promotion...

I could've sworn there was another thread about this but I don't find it now. I think he's more likely to go to the Giants (if Spags becomes our HC) than the Cowboys.

I think more than anything the Cowboys are "interviewing" Williams to get intel on the Redskins.

The link posted in the "Earnest Byner coming back" thread points to the same JLC Blog, but I didn't see any mention of the Williams to Dallas rumor in the discussion. Figured it was thread-worthy.

It is. Just thought it was already another thread. Must be mistaken

this always happens, then those players and coaches embarass us the next year.

i thought he went to jacksonville?

Like I said in the other thread regarding this. If he goes,...Fuck him ! Don't want to hear anything about a raw deal, how he was treated unfairly. He would be going to the enemy.

He was treated unfairly .. we didnt have any contact with him after the season, then fired him.. He did a lot for this football team.

Anohter scary thought - if you look at our defensive personnel over the past 4 years, it was pretty amazing what he accomplished.

You're right but as I said. He'd be going to DALLAS ! I understand his anger and his frustration, but as far as all of the I hope he does well bull ? NO, not from me ! If he goes anywhere but Dallas he'll get that but not there.

I'm curious. Do you really think he owes any loyalty to the team that fired him?

Right. No contact...other than 4 interviews (some at least 10 hours long)
