Renaldo Wynn Says Greg Williams Stole Jags Playbook in 1999
|
Having the playbook is one thing. Knowing the plays being called in the Jaguars' offensive huddle is another.
In 1999, remember Jaguars' offensive coordinator Chris Palmer had left to become the head coach of the revived Cleveland Browns. Defensive coordinator Dick Jauron also left to become the Chicago Bears' head coach. The offense in 1999 was called by Tom Coughlin himself. We had no offensive coordinator. The defense was called by former Carolina Panthers' head coach and brand new Jaguars' defensive coordinator, Dom Capers. I recall that LB Eddie Robinson left Jacksonville extremely angry that he was a goner in 1998. In 1996 he had signed on in Jacksonville after leaving the Houston Oilers while they were still in Texas. Eddie played linebacker for the Jaguars in 1996 along with rookie Kevin Hardy, and others. He also played for us in during the 1997 season. Eddie left bitter about being nudged out of his roster spot, and went back to The Oilers now relocated in Tennessee. If Robinson took the Jaguars' offensive playbook to Jeff Fisher it sure didn't help. In 1998, the Jaguars and Oilers split the regular season one apiece. We beat them here in NFL Week 4 27-22, and we lost in Tennessee NFL Week 15 16-13. Just some background on Gregg Williams. From 1990 to 1996, he was the Oilers franchise defensive assistant, special teams, AND linebackers coach. Williams would have had a direct relationship with Robinson PRIOR to the time Robinson was in Jacksonville and after Eddie went back to his old team. Gregg Williams had changed (while Robinson played for Tom Coughlin) from what he was (90-96) to the Oilers/Titans' defensive coordinator in 1997 and held that job until 2000, when he reluctantly left Jeff Fisher's side to become the Buffalo Bills head coach. The Bills were 3–13, 8–8, and 6–10 under his leadership. Remember it's all possible that somebody was able to swipe a Jaguars' offensive playbook and hand it to Fisher for dissemination, but it's not like it was a talking playbook that told Fisher what plays were being called in the huddle. It would be interesting to have the game video to look at, but unless you can see somebody beside Tom Coughlin signaling Fisher, it was really a case of the Jaguars being over-confident, reliant on the idea that a team doesn't lose to another NFL team three-consecutive times in the same year. http://youtu.be/ZAYJz88cqM4 Personally, I think it had nothing to do with losing those cool white shoes, we lost because the Florida Times Union jinxed the Jaguars when they revealed.... JAGZILLA!!!!!!!!
