Schaub thought they were definitely in good position for kicker <strong>Kris Brown</strong>.</p> <p>Dan asked Schaub if he can have his spirits up for having a good game last night. "It's hard to take silver lining away from losses, regardless of if you do some good things," Schaub said.</p> <p>Schaub had nice things to say about Tennessee's Vince Young and Chris Johnson.

"I'd be stunned if they don't choose to have him be their guy," King said.</p> <p>King said the time off has helped Young and he's a different quarterback.</p> <p>"He's a 64 percent passer. He's much more of a leader. He's admitted he's learned a lot from sitting behind Kerry Collins," King said.</p> <p>King also weighed in Buffalo Bills head coaching search.</p> <p>"Why would you want to take the Buffalo job right now with no quarterback of the future?" King asked. "If you wait six weeks, there's probably going to be about six jobs open. Why would you commit to one now?"</p> <p>King says he thinks <strong>Mike Shanahan</strong>, <strong>Bill Cowher</strong> and <strong>Mike Holmgren</strong> will have better options.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 2009-11-24T11:36:32-05:00 2009-11-24T11:36:32-05:00 2009-11-24T18:51:52-05:00 1 87182 Andrew Perloff 3992 New York NY 550 http://img.fannation.com/images/layout/profile-headshot.gif Jimmy Johnson.

He thinks mobile quarterbacks are great, but the establishment doesn't&nbsp;always like to try something different.&nbsp;</p> <p>"Coaches -- it doesn't make any difference or they're pro or college -- they're so set in their ways, sometimes they try to fit a square peg into a round hole," Johnson said.</p> <p>However, Johnson isn't sold on Florida quarterback <strong>Tim Tebow</strong>. "I don't think Tim Tebow can play in the NFL if it's in a pro style offense," Johnson said.</p> <p>Johnson said&nbsp;a team will have to do one of two things with Tebow. Either&nbsp;turn him into an H-Back and receiver. Or if you use him at quarterback, you have to change the offense and probably the head coach.</p> <p>Johnson also commented on his former team in Dallas: "Those wide receivers have got to step up. ... Teams have figured out if you take <strong>Jason Witten</strong> away ... those wide&nbsp;receivers, they may or may not make the play."</p> <p>Dan asked Jimmy if the Notre Dame job was still a big-time job. "I think it's&nbsp; a prime job if you get an outstanding recruiter," Johnson said.</p> <p>The former Miami Hurricanes coach said the last Fighting Irish few coaches have just assumed Notre Dame would recruit itself. Johnson said&nbsp;<strong>Charlie Weis</strong> is a friend and a good coach, but he's not a great recruiter.</p> <p>Johnson told a very funny story about trying to recruit <strong>Troy Aikman</strong>. He thought he had him at Oklahoma State, but then <strong>Barry Switzer</strong> told Troy that he wasn't going to run the Wishbone at Oklahoma and Aikman went there.</p> 2009-11-24T09:33:47-05:00 2009-11-24T09:33:47-05:00 2009-11-24T23:52:19-05:00 11 87161 Andrew Perloff 3992 New York NY 550 http://img.fannation.com/images/layout/profile-headshot.gif Titans RB Chris Johnson ran for 151 yards against the Texans on Monday night.
