First up: Let's hear it for Gregg Williams!!
Rotoworld.com:
The Saints will host ex-Jags defensive coordinator Gregg Williams about taking the same position in New Orleans on Thursday.
Williams is reportedly on Green Bay and Houston's wish lists as well, but hasn't interviewed in either place yet. An attacking coordinator, Williams was hamstrung a bit working under defensive-minded Jack Del Rio in Jacksonville. There's no real reason to think Williams lost his touch last year.

Gibbs was heavily in the running for Dallas' head job two offseasons ago, but his stock has fallen by the wayside since. While a slew of injuries in the secondary forced Gibbs to use Jason David far more than he would've liked, the Saints haven't covered anyone in three years and the pass rush has been miserable since '06. The Saints' next coordinator will have to get more out of DEs Will Smith and Charles Grant. He'll have respectable talent to work with.

From Wikipedia
Williams is known for crafting top-ranked defenses using “no-name” defensive players.
Williams learned under Buddy Ryan. He coached the Titans defense when it led the league and brought them to the Super Bowl. He had three top-10 defenses at Washington.
He’ll do.
Get Sean McDermott!
