After that France game, he made 6 changes didn't he? Very bad idea, and the kind of thing to get you sacked. Probably won't happen though, the SRFU have enough on their plate.

So, that's what he means by; "However, I will never walk away from this job."
And the writer of the article seems to confirm he is definitely leaving: "Williams went on to reiterate that he is going to stick it out with Scotland and demanded to see a better performance against England next weekend."

Of underwear, possibly. Not to the team:

Enforced change due to White's knee injury. The only changes have been in the search for a right wing. Almost the model of consistency.

He says he's not walking away. Although I've been wondering for a while what he's brought to the setup, I don't think he'll be sacked anytime soon. A coach can't take the blame for much of the first-half ineptitude against Wales, especially considering the guts and decent skill level of the second half.
However, apart from flyhalf, and maybe tight-head and a still-to-settle centre pairing, that's a good list of players. Maybe not too much brilliance, but Scotland have seemed to me recently to come to much less than the sum of their parts. To what extent could Matt Williams be responsible for this? And to what extent can he improve on it?
