There could be a long line of valuable coaching prospects in the 2008 season.

Even if Bill Parcells returns for one final year, check out the possibilities for 2008-2009:

• Bill Cowher (as we all know, currently retired and it's under the last year of his contract right now with Pittsburgh)
  
• Marty Schottenheimer (remember, he only signed a one-year deal last week... and that's for 2007... if King Jerry hired Marty, the veteran coach could bring Wade Phillips with him as a defensive assistant)
  
• Wade Phillips (he's currently the San Diego defensive coordinator)
  
• Lovie Smith (as of today, he's in the final year of his contract, and the Bears front office have yet to offer him a new deal) (personally, with Smith's Tampa-2 D, I couldn't see him here)
  
• Ron Rivera (Chicago's present defensive coordinator, who's been a candidate in a few job searches this year and some last season)
  
• Dan Reeves (could he return to Big D, where he played as under the legendary Tom Landry... and remember, Reeves had Phillips with him both in Denver and in New York - with the Giants)
  
• Mike Martz (i don't want "Mr Pass Happy/One Dimesional Offense," but Jerry's always intrigued with offensive-minded coaches)
  
• Dennis Green (see Mike Martz)
  
• Norv Turner (see Martz and Green above)
  
• Charlie Weis (part of the Parcells coaching tree, and King Jerry could be willing to pay the millions to buy him out of his Notre Dame contract)
  
• Bob Stoops (the OU coach is always mentioned in rumors to coach the Dallas Cowboys)
