NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The NFL has reinstated Gregg Williams after suspending him for his role in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal, and the Tennessee Titans have added him to their coaching staff.

The NFL ended Williams' indefinite suspension Thursday and approved the Titans' one-year contract with Williams. Tennessee also announced in the same release that Williams had been hired as a senior assistant coach for its defense.

The league issued a statement saying that commissioner Roger Goodell cited several reasons for reinstating Williams, including that Williams accepted responsibility for his role in the bounty program, and pledged to never be involved in any pay for performance system and to teach safe play and respect for the rules.

"The commissioner emphasized that Williams must fully conform to league rules and will be subject to periodic monitoring to confirm his compliance," the NFL said in its statement.

I am surprised that they let him off this easy. I guess the league is tired of this fight.

This is highly questionable. Of all the defensive coaches, you go with the one who caused a scandal.
