Yea, Williams is done in the NFL. Hope the Rams have moved on and hired a new D-coordiantor.

I fully expect him to be back at some point.

He'll have to show some real contrition, though. Come up with something to do this season to counteract what he's done in his career.
Maybe start touring around high schools, sharing his story and helping others avoid his mistakes earlier. I'm not sure. Maybe start a charity for players with financial hardships forced to quit due to injuries. Something along those lines.

We are a society that overreacts and overkills at first, and then moves on and forgives later. Micheal Vick and Donte Stallworth are playing in the NFL...Williams will likely coach again.

I never said they were. I'm saying that comments such as these should have no bearing on whether or not he stays suspended after this season. There are a certain segment of moron saying these comments justify him staying suspended beyond this year which is dumb.There are 31 other DC's in the nfl who basically tell their defenders to try and kill the opposition every week and make similar or worse pregame speeches.

you alluded to it.

NFL not commenting on whether it was aware of Williams audio

One of the biggest questions arising from the audio generated by former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams before the Saints lost to the 49ers in the NFC playoffs is whether the NFL knew about the comments before meting out discipline in response to the bounty system.

The league isn’t saying, one way or the other.

“We are not commenting on specific pieces of evidence that we have,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told PFT by email, “other than what we have released in our statements.”

If the league didn’t know, then the league should reopen the investigation and, possibly, levy additional discipline.

Apart from specific instructions given by Williams on the body parts to target for injury, which instantly conjured images of the scenes from the original Longest Yard where the inmates are being told how to use brass knuckles and to dip their tape in plaster of Paris before putting it on their forearms, the unedited audio includes Williams handing out envelopes containing cash for big plays from the wild-card victory over the Lions, whom Williams calls “weak-ass, phony-ass mutherf–kers.”

And while no specific “knock-outs” or “cart-offs” occurred during the division-round game (other than the 49ers knocking out Saints running back Pierre Thomas), the audio helps cement the notion that the typically unspoken goal of getting the opponents’ best players off the field become express and overt under Williams, who continued to urge the infliction of injury even when he knew that the NFL once again was investigating the situation.

I don't see how the NFL lets Greg Williams coach again.

[VYholden]

Where is the usual cast of characters saying this is ok.

[vNZsk39B]

I wonder if the guy handling the mic could have made a little more noise. Good lord is that irritating when someone handling a mic doesn't know how to stand or sit fucking still.

It's not his fault he used some wonderful metaphors about attacking the head of the beast.

You must be his cousin or something.

How exactly did this audio come to light, anyway? Who recorded this?

A guy who was following the Saints around for a story on the Gleason guy who has Lou Gerhigs disease or something like that.

I was expecting much worse that the parts of this I've heard. Completely unshocking that the NFL has no problem with this being released.

If comments like these are grounds for suspension than they are going to have to suspend every DC in the NFL.

Again, it wasn't this incident in a vacuum. THe Saints were already under investigation. THey were told to stop. They were told going into the playoffs before this very game "We're keeping an eye on your bullshit", and then this is the type of speech Williams gives. Obviously Williams thought the NFL was just bluffing.

Turns out he was wrong.

yeah, that is what they suspended him for, comments.

[Butiqueso]

For me it was the comments on testing out guys' heads who just had concussions. The NFL is already facing litigation about concussions the last thing they need is it to be taught to go for the head on tackles. If he had just left it as "kill them all and let the paramedics sort out the bodies" he would have been fine. It was the specifics and naming injuries that crossed a line.

If this doesn't get him a permanent ban, I don't know what will.
