That's if Al Saunders actually comes here....and if Gregg Williams actually takes over one day.

According to ESPN, it's a done deal:

I for got about Don Breaux but does he realy play the tradional role as OC? I thought that Gibbs was acting more as OC.

Could be but I think Don B. has the official title, if you will.

I would welcome the idea of Al Saunders being the OC. But that would mean we'd have to get rid of someone in the staff wouldn't it?

Maybe...maybe not since there's no salary cap for coaches and staff. We could keep everyone.

Cooley = young Tony G?

What I like about this potential move is Saunders comes from the same school of thought that Gibbs does. Power running game, big plays from the passing game, a move like this could only help to further develop the offense!

Cooley 350Z · 01-19-2006, 10:26 AM

Agreed, this is a very intriguing move. Hopefully if this works out our offense can catch up with the defense a bit as opposed to using them like a crutch. Imagine how dangerous we could be if we were that potent on both sides of the ball.

hail_2_da_skins · 01-19-2006, 10:28 AM

This move would definitely improve the offense.

Daseal · 01-19-2006, 10:36 AM

Wow! I love love love love love this move! I hope it's true, but the real question is how long can we keep Saunders out of head coaching!

Hog1 · 01-19-2006, 10:38 AM

It's a COOL way to start the off-season! The best thing is Snyder is not in the habit of losing deals like this to other teams.

Redskins8588 · 01-19-2006, 11:02 AM

Wasnt it like this time last year when we got Musgrave? I mean like the first week after our season ended, not date wise. If you think about it, if Gibbs does want him, I am sure that he would want him here ASAP to start looking things over for the begininng of next season.

dmek25 · 01-19-2006, 11:22 AM
