The New York Jets have fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams with four games to go in the regular season. While the Jets are 0-12, Adam Gase is still coach, and Williams is the one with a head start on looking for new employment. Here are nine NFL teams that have either fired Williams or let his contract expire.
The Bills hired Williams from the Tennessee Titans to replace Wade Phillips in 2001. After all, the Titans had a dominant defense and lost Super Bowl XXXIV by a single yard at the end of the 1999 season.
Buffalo’s first year was 3-13.
