Now is time to say bye to Williams

So this is what it's come to. We've reached the point where UB is the more respectable of our two major football teams.
The Bulls seem to be turning the corner. The only thing the Bills are turning is people's stomachs. Two weeks ago, after the debacle at the Jets, I called it the low point of the Gregg Williams era, the day it became painfully evident that Williams was overmatched as a head coach.
Well, they hit another new low in Sunday's 38-5 humiliation against the Chiefs. They didn't get beat. They got embarrassed on national TV for the second time in three road games. They're the national joke now. They've underachieved in five of their last six games, and something needs to change.
Three things are clear: One, Tom Donahoe made a mistake when he hired Williams. Two, he and Ralph Wilson compounded it by bringing him back this season despite their lack of faith in him. Three, they're going to fire him at the end of the season, if they don't do it sooner.
I'll cast my vote for sooner. I don't need to wait for the Iowa caucuses. Fire Williams now. Put the fans, the players and the coach out of their misery. Williams likes to talk about cleaning things up after a loss. The only thing he should be cleaning out today is his desk.
