Jaguars Hunt for Defensive Coordinator Continues: Gregg WIliams to Titans?

by River City Rage on Jan 28, 2008 8:21 PM EST in Jacksonville Jaguars News

In yet another development, the Tennessee Titans have requested an interview with Gregg Williams. Williams was on Jeff Fishers staff from 1997 to 2000 as their linebackers coach as well as defensive coordinator.

Of course, the Titans have a defensive coordinator right now in Jim Schwartz, which makes for an interesting dynamic there.

Now, I've no link to back this up, BUT, I'm told that someone on the NFL Network said that Jeff Fisher got in touch with Gregg Williams at the "11th hour" and will not work for Jacksonville.

As soon as I have something legit, I'll post it here, but my gut reaction is "damn. Not so much at not getting Williams, which I think would have been great, but that Tennessee would get him right from under us. Wait till Gregg sees the offense up there and realizes just how huge his job will be to keep that machine going.

Clearly, more to come.

It will be ok

We will be fine as a team if Greg Williams doesn't come. We will draft well and the coaching staff is well talented. JDR, Mark Duffner and Donnie Henerson will be a great team and Dave Campo hasn't left yet. The right person at the right time will come along.

DC

i would love to see Ron Rivera come to Jacksonville as the DC. he did a good job in Chi town and now that he is gone the Bears D was not as good this year. I believe he is a DB coach out in San Diego. Chris you may want to try and start a push for Rivera. he is a 4-3 guy which is what we want and he would be a good fit for our team. just a thought

HAIL TO THE JAGUARS
