Suspended defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is allowed to pursue an NFL coaching job, though commissioner Roger Goodell plans to review his reinstatement should he find one, according to an NFL.com report.

Williams has been suspended indefinitely for his role in the New Orleans Saints' "bounty" scandal. He was hired last offseason as defensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams, but won't return there, a Rams source told NFL.com's Albert Breer.

Eight new head coaches will be filling out staffs around the league, but the fact Goodell would still need to render a decision on reinstatement may keep teams away.

What the hell is THAT? Uh... you can coach again - just so long as it is the team I want you coaching. Is that what I'm reading? Really?

Pretty much. Go look for a job, and then I'll decide if you can take it.

Well, he does want another head coaching gig, and said he would hold out if he didn't get one. So my question is this. IF he was hired on as defensive coordinator for the Rams, how long would he really be here? I'm sure every year thereafter he'd be interviewing for another HC gig. And he'd get one pretty quick too. I kinda hope Fisher either promotes from within, or gets himself an up-and-coming hotshot college DC who can stick around for a few years on the Rams while making a name for himself. That way we can continue to run the same system and groom a successor at the same time.

I'm all about that continuity, yo.
