    Cowher was certainly mentioned quite a bit yesterday...

    I was working yesterday and missed the press conferences, so I watched them last night and after listening to them, I'm even more excited about us getting a big name, specifically Bill Cowher. Didn't anyone else think it was weird that Buddy Nix talked about Cowher and so did both Jim Kelly and Thurman Thomas? Nix also said that he wants to hire the coach as fast as possible. He said that the list is already made and there are several guys on the list, and he'd use the list like a draft list. You go after the top guy first.

    Jim Kelly was asked about Bill Cowher and even brought his name up several times. He seemed excited and pretty much said that he believes that we could get a guy like Cowher to come here.

    Then you got Thurman Thomas who was sweating like a pig. He looked like he was doing everything possible to try to hide the news that he knows. But he did talk about Cowher and then mentioned getting a guy like a Sean Payton (Charlie Weis IMO).

    I don't know why, but after this hiring of Buddy Nix (he did work with Cowher once before) and also the fact that they announced this on New Years Eve, which is a very weird time to have a press conference. It seems like they wanted to get this done, so they could focus on bringing in the head coach they want. I believe Sal, I think that they have been talking to Bill Cowher many times and are doing everything in their power to convince him to come to Buffalo and when he sees what we got and again, the support from the fans, I believe he will come here.

    We just gotta pray that Tampa Bay keeps Raheem Morris. They are playing Atlanta on Sunday...so hope for a win!

      2 weeks from now we will eitber be celebrating or rationalizing the new coach
      In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned.

        I hope your hunch is right Mike. I'm just afraid to let myself believe it. The Bills have never made a huge splash like that. Until it happens I am skeptical.

          While am a little excited about the possibility of Cowher coming to Buffalo I am not going to get overly excited until I see him officially named the head coach.

          I have been disappointed so many times by this team that it would not surprise me that they hire someone like Haslett or Martz as head coach. Both, which I put in the same category as Jauron.

            It would be hilarious to listen Jon Claytons spin if the Bills did land Cowher. After all the no way in hell he comes to Buffalo talk he's been saying I'd pay to hear that interview.

              I don't know why everyone keeps mentioning Haslett. Stop listening to ESPN and the media. They constantly throw his name out there each time we have a job open...but he hasn't even been interviewed. I don't see him coming here. Plus wasn't he a defensive guy? I guarantee that he's NOT on the list.

                I don't want Martz but at least he took a team to the SB and is an offensive guy. I would not be happy about it but don't think he is as bad as Dickey. Haslett would infuriate me after all the hype about a big name. He is as bad as Dickey.

                  I am not saying they have Haslett on their radar but it would not surprise me that they end up with a retread coach that has not been too successful as a head coach. I am thinking they will go after the big names but until they officially announce it I don't want to get overly excited just to be let down.

                    He better not be. How can you guarantee it though. Would you have ever thought they would hire Mularkey and Jauron over all the better choices that were available.

                      I guarantee it, because Haslett is the name that has been mentioned by Clayton and the other tools at ESPN each time we have a job opening. But he hasn't been interviewed, so there is definitely a reason. Plus he's a defensive guy and it's been said several times over the last few weeks that the Bills are looking for an offensive guy or one of the big names. Also...everytime that Haslett name is tossed out there, Bills fans start screaming and *****ing. Even Brandon wouldn't be able to spin that horrible hire! We'd have a better chance at getting Billick or Fassel over Haslett.

                        I agree. If the Bills have any clue as the the pulse of the fan base Haslett will not even be considered. I actually do believe Ralph is going to do everything he can to get a bigtime coach this time including throwing money at Cowher. I'm just not sure Cowher would want to come here.

                          That's why I said it's Cowher 1a and Schottenheimer 1b. If they can't convince Cowher to come here, Nix would do everything in his power to convince his best buddy, Marty to come back to the NFL and coach the team. I would take either of these guys in a heartbeat!

                            Money should not be an option in the pursuit of Cowher. The excitement he would bring would electrify the area. They could raise prices and they may still sell the stadium out with season tickets if they hired him. If it's Cowher I'll be one of the first ones to buy.
