I had to go with Williams, because if the defense returns to playoff-caliber form, it will be the result of his system and his coaching methods. He's the top dog on the defensive side of the ball, and all of the other defensive coaches will be following his lead. It will be his defensive philosophy that is being promulgated by the defensive staff in practice, and he will be calling the defensive plays on gameday.

Bugel will most certainly play a major role in transforming the underachieving O-line into real Hogs, and that will contribute largely to the success of the offense as a whole. But as critical as Buges' role will be to the offense, his impact on the offensive side of the ball, much less the team as a whole, will be secondary to that of Joe Gibbs.

Though Bugel and Williams have similar official titles, Williams will have more influence on the overall shape and performance of the team on his side of the ball, and therefore as an individual, will have a greater impact on the team.

Ditto. As always, very well said.

Williams. We know what Bugel can do that is almost a given. Hopefully Williams Williams can do as good if not better.
