I think there was a verbal one with Snyder and Gibbs. I also believe that Williams cameback instead of taking Head Coaching jobs because of this verbal agreement and he wanted to help Gibbs bring a title back to DC. The problem is Gregg thought with Gibbs backing on this that Snyder would hold true and hire Gregg as head coach. I believe Snyder went back on his word. This might not be true but this is my take from everything we have heard since the "Gregg Williams leaving" rumors started after the 2004 season.
