As the NFL regular season starts approaching the final downhill run to the finish, lists of potential coaches have been coming out for all the expected firings (one already took place at Buffalo.)

Don Banks of SI wrote a column sizing up all the potential hires. Here’s the blurb he wrote about former Ravens coach Brian Billick:

Brian Billick — With Jon Gruden committing to another year or two of television work this week, and Tony Dungy clearly too darn busy to return to the sidelines, the only other remaining available Super Bowl-winning coach is Billick, who is in the second year of his NFL sabbatical. Billick, too, has had success joining the ranks of the media, and enjoys both his TV gigs and the acclaim that has come from his authorship of an excellent new book on life in the NFL. I don’t see him taking just any job to get back in, especially since he’s still being paid handsomely by the Ravens.
