This isn’t a huge surprise, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that New Orleans offensive coordinator Gregg Williams is expected to leave the Saints and join Jeff Fisher in St. Louis.
The Saints’ defense collapsed late in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s playoff loss to San Francisco. If Williams hadn’t already made a decision on his future, the two late touchdowns scored by the 49ers might have sealed his fate. I never got the sense Williams and head coach Sean Payton were especially close and Payton might have been looking to make a change after what happened Saturday.

I believe I am in the minority, but I am so happy he didn't stay with Washington in any capacity--let alone as a HC. His career pattern is obvious:
A. Go to a younger, underperfoming defense.
B. Yell at them, and motivate them to play well the first season.
C. Once they realize he has no idea what he is doing, the team then tunes him out, and his yelling, hair frosting and ego begin to annoy.
D. Wash, rinse and repeat.
Last year his D was embarrassed by the Seattle Seahawks. This year? He couldn't stop San Fran when it mattered. He arguably blitzed them out of the playoffs.
What does everyone else think?
