The Facts:
The New Orleans Saints on Thursday hired Gregg Williams as their defensive coordinator.
Reported by The Sports Ticker
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Williams replaces Gary Gibbs, who was fired on January 7 following a season in which the Saints finished 8-8 despite an offense that scored a league-high 463 points. Williams will have his work cut out for him working with a unit that held just two opponents under 20 points this past season. Last season, Williams served at DC of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Prior to that, he was the DC for four seasons with the Redskins and the head coach of the Bills for three seasons (2001-03). Williams also spent 11 seasons with the Tennessee Titans/Houston Oilers. He was the architect of a Titans defense that allowed just 191 points in reaching the Super Bowl in 1999.
