Gregg Williams hired as New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator
Posted by Mike Triplett and Teddy Kider, The Times-Picayune January 15, 2009 9:15AM
Gregg Williams takes over the Saints defense after stops in Tennessee, Buffalo, Washington and Jacksonville.The Saints made their first big free agent acquisition of 2009, agreeing to terms with defensive coordinator Gregg Williams on Thursday morning. Terms of the deal were not immediately available.
One of the most respected defensive minds in the game and one of the most coveted candidates on the market, Williams will take over a Saints defense that ranked 23rd in the NFL in yards allowed and tied for 26th in points allowed last season.
"A lot has gone into this decision, and we targeted Gregg as the coach we'd like to hire after our first interview because he was so impressive and prepared," Saints Coach Sean Payton said in a statement. "As an offensive coach, I have game-planned against his defenses in the past, and I know the problems they create. He's an aggressive coach, but his units are always sound fundamentally. We have some pieces in place for him to work with, and I know he's excited to get started."

I'm giddy... he ought to bring an all out blitz on the first play of the season no matter what it is just for a statement to the fans.
This feels like when they signed Drew

Awesome. Despite the safeties and spotty DE play, there's enough talent on the defense to be in that 10-15 range, which is all we really need. Hopefully he brings out the best of them.
And more evidence Benson may be a turd, but he is NOT cheap.

This is great for the team and for Sean P's rep. He showed that he can address the problem at hand and go after the best available. Only 7-1/2 months until kickoff!! I'm excited!!!

This hire fricking sucks. he's overrated and no one really wants him here. The saints should have went after someone with a little more experience. Besides, it was the offense's fault for most of the losses the last couple of years.

fwiw, I'm just getting it out of the way. I'm sure there will be morons later on disagreeing with the hire.
