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!
