You can expect Bill Cowher to be named as the Bills TOP priority in a head coaching search.

I dont have any listed sources, so this nothing more than a rumor.. for now.


But based on what Jim Kelly said and some other mumblings I've heard, the Bills are going to put their best foot forward after Cowher.


This is only going to be FUELED by news today that Marty S doesnt want to return to coaching

you can rule out young assistants and coordinators with no head coaching expirience because nix made it clear he wants a TEACHER and he isnt going to hire a 35 year old coach that never even played college ball at a high level or has never been a head coach before. they will make a strong push for marty and cowher and if they dont land one then my guess is weis. he is an x's and o's guy and is known for being a great teacher as well as the offensive type we have been told all along the bills want.

not going to happen. he is either going to hire a marty or cowher or it will be weis. and how we can all prove that weis is one of the top candidates is you wait and see, he will not take a job until the bills job is filled (unless he is hire by the bills of course). and shortly after that if he isnt hired by buffalo he will be back with New England or in Cleveland

The one thing I will say about a coaching search is that after listening to the press conference and reading Nix's resume I feel like any of the coaching candidates out there will take Buddy Nix from the Bills much more seriously when they talk than listening to Russ Brandon.

Buddy knows football and doesn't sound like a big ego guy ("I've never been accused of being the smartest guy in the room").

If you were being interviewed to rebuild and coach a football team and had a pretty good resume yourself (someone like Cower or Weiss) don't you think that Buddy might make you feel like your point of view was important?

Who knows, he might even get Marty to rethink his situation.

Like Pat said, here we go!

Michael82
12-31-2009, 06:20 PM
I'm more excited with this Buddy Nix hire because I think that it means that the team is going to throw EVERYTHING at Bill Cowher or even Marty. We hired a non-name GM and now they gotta convince the fans that they want to win and to do that, I see them going strongly after Cowher and hopefully his relationship with Nix will help.

From everything I know this is all in Cowher's court right now.

It's not "expect" the Bills to make a major push for him.

They already have - and are.....as I stated Tuesday.

Let's face it, the guy has options. There are a lot of factors involved, I'm sure. But the Bills are doing everything they can to get him. That guarantees nothing, though.

I will say though, that no news is good news at this point.

And what's most interesting to me right now is that NO ONE from either the Bills or Cowher's side has come out with any kind of denials regarding their "push" for him or his "interest" in the Bills. I think that should speak volumes more than anything else at this point.

Bottom line. Would Nix, Kelly, Thurman and anyone with some actual football smarts ( notice I left out the known stooges still currently employed at OBD ) be able to talk Cowher into coming here ?

I don't even question the $$ issue anymore, since it's reported they'll basically pay anything he wants.

Thanks Sal! I was thinking the same thing. No news is definitely good news and I was shocked that the Bills and Cowher both have kept completely quiet about any meetings and talks and neither of them denied it. The Bills didn't even give it a "No Comment". Plus after watching the press conferences yesterday, it obvious that Bill Cowher is #1 on their list and they want him really bad. I just hope he feels that he would like to come to Buffalo too. Like I said before...here's to hoping that both Carolina and Tampa Bay keep their coaches.... :pray:

The question I have for you Sal...if he is the guy that the Bills want and they want him badly and both Carolina and Tampa Bay keep their coaches...if Cowher is interested in coming here...how quickly do you think it would happen?

It's just another indication that the two sides have not met and don't talk. One thing your source claimed was we were one of the most stable organizations and thats one reason why Cowher was so "interested" in. If that were to be the case, how come multiple people have reported that the Bills ASKED people from outside the organization to interview for GM and even threw loads of money at them and yet NOBODY interviewed except Guy, Modrak and Nix because just like Shanny, Gruden, and Cowher, the GMs turned us down.

Of course its a dream but its a dream that CAN come true. So we are hoping yes. Nix has a very long and good resume. Like was posted earlier if we hired him directly from SD and not within everyone would be applauding this move. So give the guy a break his resume alone should give him that.

My guess - and only my guess on this part - is that the Bills will try their hardest to have him sign before any other openings come up, knowing there will otherwise be competition, maybe even moreso then they originally thought.....but that Cowher will want to wait to see what other openings there may be.

He could still decide to stay in TV for another year, although all indications are that he's ready to return.

Reportedly Cowher is interested in Tampa and Carolina, ahead of Buffalo. The problems there are that Tampa just hired a new coach this past off-season and just came of a huge upset win over the previously 13-1 Saints. So Morris likely isn't going anywhere. As for Carolina, the Panthers want to keep Fox, likely because 2011 is looking like a lockout year with no football. It's doubtful they'd want to fire Fox, pay him his 2010 salary and hire someone, only to have to pay them for 2011 when there's no football being played. At least if they let Fox play-out his contract, they can hire a coach after 2010 if it looks like a 2011 season will be played, or before 2012, if it won't.

The biggest issues with Tampa are:
--The Glazers are already still paying Jon Gruden's remaining contract, and would have to pay Morris', as well, if they fired him. That's paying for three coaches (counting the new one) and if it were Cowher, it would be big money. That's a lot of jack to fork over....not to mention all the assistants who already are and then would still have to be paid.

--The Galzers also own Manchester United. Word is they pay upwards of $60 million/year just on the interest alone of the loan they took to pay for the team. I'm not sure what their philosophy is on one business' financial effecting anther's operation, but that would have to cause them pause, I would think.

I'm not too sure anyone will be paid if there's no football in 2011. I think, maybe, all contracts just roll over to 2012. There has to be some provision for that somewhere?!

You have to admit, my point makes sense. How did the Bills "talk" to Cowher and sell him on the stability of the franchise, while John Clayton reports they tried to lure outsiders for interviews but nobody wanted to come. How come those people were not sold on the stability but somehow Cowher, was?

Yeah, I really don't see the Bucs signing him. Even moreso after learning they'll still be paying Gruden's salary and the Man U. thing.

Yeah, you're point would make sense except for the fact that you're wrong.

My source is lock solid.

But no one's stopping you from believing what you want to believe. I may feel the same way if the roles were reversed.

I just always think it's amusing that people automatically assume that someone on a message board can't possibly ever actually know people who know things. Or know the actually "players" involved in something big.

Seriously. How do you not know that I don't know Bill Cowher himself? Do you know that? Do you assume that I can't simply because I post on a message board? How do you know that I don't know his agent? Or his brother? Or maybe my wife knows his wife? Maybe they play Bridge together ever Tuesday night?

Is it possible that through over a decade of coaching in (arguably) the best state in the country for HS football, attending countless clinics and conferences, that maybe, just maybe, I've been able to develop some interesting and close relationships with certain people who may be involved in these kinds of things?

I also host a weekly live TV sports talk show in Sarasota, Florida. Is it possible that maybe I know people within the Bucs organization that have talked to Bill Cowher and know where he stands?

Why does someone like John Clayton automatically have to "know" more people closer to the situation? Because he has 4 letters at the end f his name (E-S-P-N)? Is that a requirement to "know" people? To have people trust you when they tell you information?

Did you ever think that Clayton, Mort, Schefter, etc., simply don't know the RIGHT people all the time?

Again, it's not that I don't understand that people are skeptical of something like this being reported by someone like me. What always gets me more is the assumption that someone like me...or you...or anyone else for that matter, can't possibly know people who know things.

If Bill Cowher does not become the Bills next HC, I know all the haters will throw it back at me that I was wrong. But we all know that's not what I said at all.

All I can do is stand by what I reported. Everyone else is, of course, free to believe what they wish.

I have been in Tampa for a week busy but aware what is going on around. I haven't heard one word (from the press) that Morris is going to be fired or that they are talking, interested or mentioned Cowher taking over for him. Usually there is something in the local press when somebody is about to get tanked.

All I can do is stand by what I reported. Everyone else is, of course, free to believe what they wish.

I doubt that. However, at some point down the line, if Cowher stays with CBS or goes to coach Tampa/Carolina, it will leak out that the Bills did in fact speak with him. Which, according to you, they have been for 2 or so weeks. But, i'm not talking about Cowher really because as you said, you made it pretty clear even though we're still in it, we're still a darkhorse with him hoping for Carolina or Tampa and nobody knows what they will end up doing.

My point here is on the major news you reported from the source. That Cowher was sold on the stability of the team. And how we are one of the most stable teams in the league. You said, the source wasn't from the Bills, it was from Cowher's side, so somehow, Bills must have proved to him they are stable and have a plan set for the future once Ralph Wilson passes away. Clayton said we tried to get outsiders with no avail. Buffalo News said the sad stability is the reason why we're staying in-house and probably now have the least paid GM in the league (only guessing). So, i'm just wondering, how could it be that we tried to get GMs come to a dream job (only 32 openings in the NFL) of building their own team. The obvious reasons, no stability, lack of money, control freak Ralphie.

But, that's way different then what you reported. If i just can not believe this, how can i believe the Cowher thing, is what i am saying. If you had only reported the Cowher thing, i would believe it because you have proven yourself in the past. I just can't get passed the whole fact that we've been unstable for years and as we enter a new decade and quite possibily the last decade of Bills in Buffalo, it's maybe as unstable as ever. But, according to you, we are stable.

I am trying to believe it, and i'm way passed the Cowher part. I'm just focused on the stability part of it. It's been on my mind for days and if i have such a hard time believing it, i'm assuming the same source is for Cowher, then i just can not believe that either.

See what i'm trying to say?

Completely.

Believe me, it makes as little sense to me, too. Which is why I knew I'd sound like a fool saying it, yet was confident enough in the source to do so.

The one thing I hope and pray is that the Bills just aren't putting up smoke and mirrors for a guy like Cowher to try and lure him. You know, make it seem as if it were a lot better situation than it is?

But people like that don't make big decisions dealing with millions of dollars without doing their research and diligence. That's another reason I don't doubt it.

620 WDAE talked about it quite a bit the other day and actually mentioned my Cowher report.

I did mention your report on ESPN 1040 the other day.

I was in Tampa the week leading up to Christmas and also heard not a peep about a coaching change.

I hear it all the time....
My GUT says that Raheem is kept on as head coach...

. Clayton said we tried to get outsiders with no avail.


Maybe Clayton is just wrong. Ever think of that? I may be wrong but I don't think teams can interview other teams employees during the season. If thats the case then Clayton is full of ****. Like you said. GM is the job NFL guys dream of and there are only 32 of them and only a few openings each year. Clayton wants us to believe not a single one of them was interested in the job. Sorry but I think Clayton is just making **** up.

Why would he mention it if he didn't know it for a fact?

And there is several people Bills could have went after who are not employed.

Those talking heads on ESPN report things all the time that they are later proven wrong about so yes I say we would say it not knowing the facts of the situation. I think Ralph(he said so at the presser) did not even bother to look outside the organization so how could all this list of people have turned down the job?

Well, he does that a lot. I remember him saying last year that Jauron shouldn't be fired because the Bills fans liked him and then Schopp & Bulldog had to break it to him that he was despised in Buffalo. He doesn't know everything...

:lmao: OMG!!! I had not heard that one. It's official. Clayton has zero credibility when it comes to anything Bills related.

...regrettably, that is what happens when you get 24/7 reporting...
