4. Coaching Carousel Latest

-If Jim Harbaugh does indeed return to the NFL for a second head coaching stint, will it be with the Raiders or with the Chargers?

-How good of a fit would Bill Belichick be in Atlanta?

-With Mike Vrabel now gone, is it a good bet that the Titans are likely destined to spend the next three years or so in the AFC South basement? With Belichick now out in New England, on a scale of 1-10, how shocked would you be if Vrabel is not among the two finalists to succeed him?

-Say the Cowboys get eliminated either this week or next week, and Jerry Jones decides to fire Mike McCarthy and then hands Dan Quinn a blank check.

4. Barring unforeseen circumstances, is it safe to say the Russell Wilson era in Denver has come to an end?
