Jets hire Redskins target Gregg Williams to serve as team’s defensive coordinator

The impossible didn’t happen. Well, I guess the better way to put it is that the improbable didn’t happen. After agreeing to join the Jets’ staff, Gregg Williams ended up mulling his decision. He thought about going to the franchise that once considered hiring him as the head coach but spurned him instead for Jim Zorn. That franchise was the Redskins.

However, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Williams — once again — agreed to join the Jets. The Redskins missed out on him, and now they are stuck in an awkward situation with Greg Manusky still on the team.
