Then, there is Todd Bowles of Miami, but I'm not sure if he'll be available...he may get a H.C. gig someplace or a D.C. job.

Well most likely a few of his Dallas guys would follow him, and I have Dishman on my short list for the DB coach.

Looks like Bob opened the wallet a bit to make this happen.....Sure hope it works.

A source told ESPN.com senior NFL writer John Clayton that Phillips' deal is worth $2.1 million over three years. The contract makes Phillips the highest-paid defensive coordinator in the NFL.

Given the urgency to fix our D, I appreciate McNair shelling out the big-bucks for his new DC.

The Good 'Ol Boy concept is certainly alive and well with the Texans.
