Man, Id take the Houston job in a heartbeat. Reggie Bush and Andre Johnson on O, rebuild that O-line, then put Williams in to operate the defense. Plus, as bad as they are, there is nowhere to go but up and low expectations for next year.

But they have NO offensive line. Zilch. If you're Houston you have to consider trading down from the number one spot to pick up more depth. Teams would give up a ton to get Reggie Bush.

Trading out of that spot is easier said than done of course. But I think the Texans have way more problems than can be fixed by drafting Reggie Bush.

Plus Carr is awful.

I think Gregg Williams would leave if the right situation presented itself. Question is, will any of the open positions be the "right situation?"

You figure Houston, St. Louis, New Orleans, Oakland, Detroit, Green Bay, Baltimore and Buffalo are the places that might have openings. Which one of those sounds the least bit attractive?

Oakland - Al Davis? No thanks.
Houston - Ugh.
New Orleans - Where are they even going to play?
Green Bay - Not too bad. But the Favre/Rogers headache isn't fun.
Detroit - Ugh.
Baltimore - Not bad, but not great. Good defensive foundation, but no QB at all. And Williams would need offensive support because he's basically a defensive specialist.
Buffalo - Wouldn't take him back.
St. Louis - Not bad. There's an offense in place once Bulger returns.

I think the only place Gregg would consider is the Rams. Should be interesting, but I think he'll end up staying in DC.

There are a couple of other possibilities as well. It's still no guarantee that Tice will be back in Minnesota, and Vermeil may decide to retire in KC.

Given, their o-line blows, but ya gotta take Reggie Bush, no matter what. I don't think Carr is that bad, I think its more a product of poor protection than anything else. Plus, several qbs will be on the market (Ramsey) and Ramsey could be had for a 4th or 5th round pick. All things considered, if it was last years draft Id trade down, but this year if you have the No. 1, ya gotta take Reggie Bush I think.

Just because his name is at the top doesn't mean that HE is considering anything. Go back to the last thread about GW. I think he's made it clear he's not going anywhere right now.

Ah yes good point, I forgot about KC. That would seem to be very attractive for a guy like GW. Come in, fix the defense, and just try to keep the offense going. Could be like adding Tony Dungy to the Colts.

And he's from just outside KC, so it would be like going home again for him.

On the other hand, he was quoted as saying, "I will be a head coach again one day." He may figure that two seasons as a D-coordinator to re-establish himself is enough. I wouldn't be surprised if he left.

What available d-coordinators are out there?

I just hope no one bashes him if he makes a decision based on his personal goals and his family's interests.
