Gregg Williams is the Assistant Head Coach - Defense of the Washington Redskins and the former head coach of the Buffalo Bills from 2001-2003. Widely viewed as one of the top defensive minds in football, Williams has taken many no-name defensive players and turned them into top ranked defenses.
Gregg Williams was an assistant coach for the University of Houston under former Redskins head coach, Jack Pardee. He later went on to become the Special Teams coach of the Houston Oilers under then defensive coordinator, Buddy Ryan. From 1994-1996, Williams was the linebackers coach for the Oilers.
From 1997-2000, Williams was promoted to Defensive Coordinator of the now Tennessee Titans after the Oilers moved out of Houston. As the Defensive Coordinator, the Titans led the league in total defense and only gave up 191 points, the third fewest in the NFL since the league adopted the 16-game schedule in 1978. The defense also helped lead the Titans to Super Bowl XXXIV where they lost to the St. Louis Rams.
He earned his first head coaching position with the Buffalo Bills. As the Bills' head coach his team was known for conservative calls, especially on offense. He was the inspiration for Gregg Easterbrook's designation of "the maroon zone" by constantly punting in opponent territory. Williams was 17-31 as the Bills' coach, and was fired after a 6-10 record in the 2003 season.
After his release from Buffalo, Williams was immediately placed at the top of several NFL teams' list for the position of defensive coordinator. But Williams' stint on the market was short-lived. Williams quickly signed with the Redskins, the only team he interviewed with, due to the fact that Head Coach Joe Gibbs offered him total autonomy over his defensive players and defensive coaching staff.
In Washington, with Williams' aggressive defensive scheme along with the superior ability to disguise the blitz, the Reskins' defense ranked 3rd in the NFL in 2004 and 9th in 2005.
On Tuesday, January 3rd, 2006, Williams signed an 3-year extension, reportedly worth $8 million, to remain with the Redskins making him the highest paid assistant coach in the NFL. His contract pays him more than many NFL Head Coaches.
