All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Is there any possible way we can get Cowher in here?

I know it is probably impossible because Wilson is such a freaking tightwad but that would be our best bet.

Dream on. If Cowher comes back, it will probably be to replace Fox in Carolina.

Cowher seems pretty set to sit out another year. He probably will return somewhere after 2008.

cowher not only needs money to be enticed back, but the right situation for his family. he doesn't want to move them and he needed time off.

Even if the Bills gave him a contract, it'd have to be well over what carolina shows him.

No there is no way Ralphy dishes out the money to get a real HC & GM in here and yes, you're correct...he is PERFECT for Buffalo. That being said, it will never happen. However, I love the idea.

I believe people want him as HC/GM and it would be a HUGE upgrade and bring some respectability to this franchise. That's why it won't happen.

Name somebody who was had success in both roles in the NFL in recent times.

One man can't handle both jobs. It would be a name to bring in and is a TD type of move: Bring in a name to satisfy the fans.

I'd have to agree with you, but people around here are so fed up with cheap, average to below average hires from Ralph, that this would really get people excited.

At the time he hired Donahoe, TD was the biggest name FA GM available and the most expensive.

He was not a cheap hire.

That was the only time he's ever spent money and everybody liked it. It didn't turn out, but that doesn't mean it was the wrong move at the time.

He has epent money before too.

Stealing Knox from the Rams for example.

The best hires are not always the most expensive ones.

Jeff Fisher, Belichek, Wade Phillips, etc. were not big money hires.

Our success with bringing in asst coaches to break in as HCs is pitiful. Time to bring in some qualified people.
