I'd be fine with Billick. He's a smart guy who understands the game. And there's no way Pioli stays on with him.
Any chance Brian Kelly goes to the pros? He fits the definition in terms of building a winning program wherever he's gone. He produces tough teams and shows adaptability. I'd probably put his odds of coming to the NFL this year at less than 5%, though.
Chip Kelly has the high football IQ. That would be fun.
Reid is probably a pretty good bet to get a look, too. Although I'd prefer the top 3 I posted, and even Cowher over Reid.
