GREGG WILLIAMS EMERGING IN GREEN BAY?

Despite reports and rumors linking former 49ers coach Mike Nolan to the vacant defensive coordinator job in Green Bay, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports that former Jaguars, Redskins, and Titans defensive coordinator and former Bills head coach Gregg Williams could get the job. Though no one has been interviewed in the handful of days since Bob Sanders was fired, Williams could fit head coach Mike McCarthy’s “best available candidate” plan. Then again, is Williams the best available candidate? His only year in Jacksonville was a very, very bad one, and he received only cursory consideration for the head-coaching job in Washington last year after Joe Gibbs retired. Also, keep in mind the possibility that Williams could land back in Tennessee with coach Jeff Fisher, if current defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz lands a head-coaching job. Other possibilities for job, per Silverstein, include Jim Haslett and Romeo Crennel.
