Cowher on CBS This Morning

if he wanted a job he’d probably get it fairly easily.

he won 1 SB and has been out of coaching for several years.

Would be nice to scout and find someone young who can lead this team for the next several years. Maybe McAdoo is that guy. We'll have to see how the rest of the season plays out.

he isn't coming back. He goes where CBS sends him.

Speculation just doesn't go away. Not sure why anyone believes he wants to come back or would be a good choice.

anyway, mac isn't going anywhere for a long time as Mara hinted

Plenty of better choices. Much But then again some people here liked McAdoo. As well as did ownership.

Which is the issue.

Cowher has lived and worked and been seen around in new york and north carolina since working for CBS. It means nothing. Guy's been out of coaching for over a decade, makes tons of money, and hasn't even taken an interview for another NFL job.

Mac isn’t going anywhere for a long time? Lulz. January isn’t really that far away. Maybe you consider a bit over a month a long time?

Doesn't matter to me where he drops his hat. Just thought it was odd, with his resume, that he's on the road on Thanksgiving morning. Guess I started drinking too early, his CBS affiliation says it all. He seemed a bit overzealous this morning, and I haven't seen him as giddy talking football in a while.

With that being said, how about giving Strahan, a shot as next GM? Would he do it? Does he have it?

that it gets tired trotting out the usual suspects year, after year, after year, after year, after year, after year.....

[[[[ sigh ]]]]

at people who refuse to give him his due. Did he win multiple Super Bowls? No. But the guy is a fucking football coach. It isnt rocket science. Sure there would be concerns he’s out of the game too long but he’s also stayed in it with his announcing gig. I’d do a backflip if we got him. He is very Parcells-like in his ability with players.

he is interested in Charlie Rose's job...Cowher is done coaching at this point. It's been over a decade since he has
coached in this league. The only guy I can recall coaching after a longer absence was Vermeil (about 15 years).

Ditto, we have already Gruden and Saban.

You guys do know that he lives in NYC and has for years, right?
Link - ( New Window )

Was seen in NY so he must be the next coach bullshit. The guy fucking lives there, has not coached in years and wasn't that great to begin with. Stop.

Has made it clear he is done with NFL coaching.

I dont think Cowher's old school coaching style would fit today's football game profile.

Cowher had no interest in interviewing for the HC job. I would prefer Gruden over Cowher as Cowher admitted in the past that he wasn't sure if he could dedicate the necessary time and focus required to be a HC.

If Cowher came back I could see it going the way of a Gibbs v2.0 or Shanahan.

Didn't see anyone arguing that he wasn't a good coach, but I don't think he was so good that that's the guy you have to have even though he hasn't coached in 11 years. It feels like the longer the span of time from the last time a coach ran a team is, the better the fans remember them. We're doing it with Gruden too.



This is the guy more and more people want to run their team every week because.

Gruden was a very good coach:

Oakland (1998-2001)
W-38, L-26, 2 Division Championships

TB (2002-2008)
W-57, L-55, 3 Division Titles, 1 Super Bowl Win

Total (11 seasons)
W-95, L-81, 5 Division Titles, 1 Super Bowl Win

So he won the Division Title almost 50% of his years, and did win a Super Bowl. Also remember the Raiders team he took over sucked and he immediately went to 8-8.

3 division titles, 1 super bowl, 4 years under .500.

.

He had a good career. But he gets thought of as a "QB guru" and some genius coach when he wasn't.

WTF???!!!

is how upset, and condescending people get when his name is brought up.

Is he going to coach again? Probably not, but you don't know more than the rest of us, so get over yourselves. Stranger things have happened.

..and suggesting that he wasn't good at his job is so unbelievably asinine that I won't even counter it.

because they use his chin to inflate the parade balloons.
