Let's cheer for Skins loyalty! Doug Williams, ex-Bucs and Redskins QB, has thrown his support to Todd Bowles for the Broncos head coaching job, not Raheem Morris. Bowles and Williams were teammates in Washington.

Joe wants to issue a big “Thank You” to Doug Williams for publicly endorsing Dophins assistant head coach Todd Bowles for the Broncos head coaching job.

Any effort that could help keep Bucs defensive coordinator Raheem Morris from getting the position is a good thing.

Williams, the ex-Bucs quarterback and current team personnel executive, made his case for Bowles to the Denver Post today. Williams and Bowles were teammates on the Super Bowl champion Redskins in 1988.

“He’s got this presence,” said Williams. “Todd is a tall guy. If you watch him explain stuff, you’ll find he uses his hands a lot, and he knows how to get their attention. He knows how to work a room. Guys who play in this league, they’re pretty smart too. That’s where the respect comes from.”

Bowles has spent the last nine seasons as an NFL defensive assistant coach with the Jets, Browns, Cowboys and Dolphins. He’s spent three years working for Bill Parcells — two years while Parcells was head coach in Dallas and this season in Miami, where Parcells is in charge of football operations.

“He’s probably learned what it takes to build a winner. No one can argue with the track record of what Bill has done,” Williams said. “That’s not a bad horse to hitch your wagon to.”

Frankly, the Bucs are completely screwed if Raheem Morris takes off for Denver. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed.

Joe informed you yesterday that word out of Denver is that Morris has made the Broncos final four candidates. Today, TampaBay.com is reporting he may have made Denver’s list of top-3 choices.
