Guys that might be ready to be head coaches

[chuck]

Cowher would be an absolute dream but I can't see McNair paying a coach the kind of money he's going to command, nor can I see him paying a coach a lot of money to sit around while he and his fellow billionaires lock out guys like Vonta Leach who won't be able to walk upright when they're 45.

Anyway, I really like Gregg Williams, too. His defenses are ferocious and unlike a guy like Fassell he seems to be completely, insanely committed.

But I bet you no matter what happens McNair finds a way to give Kubiak another year.

When Kubiak is let go I'll be fascinated to see if Rick Smith is tethered to him or not.
