lots of Cowher talk at the Ralph

[patmoran2006]

I can tell you there is lots of Cowher chatter this morning at the Ralph among the media in the press box, its without question the topic of the day. Am going to tryn to get the nose stuck into some of it and see what I can find out today, though Im sure in a lot of cases its speculation.


oh and holy crap I dont know if people are trying to get their badge of honor but there is still a ton of tailgating going on

[Canadian'eh!]

Of course there's a lot of Cowher talk, he's the only quality coach who hasn't given us a blatant no. But I'm sure it's all rumor and conjecture.

[Canadian'eh!]

PS- 5 years X 12 Million a year, final say over the roster and staff. Ralph promises to stay out of the way and keep his mouth.

All 3 of those things are basically impossible for RW to do.

Thanks Pat, and make sure you stay warm.

Add to the list of demands a plan to be put in if Wilson dies.

The Cowher talk almost cracks me up at this point.

oh warm as hell. those fans out there in the parking lot tailgating aint

Yeah, good point. He'd need an "out" clause in there like the one Bill Parcells has, that basically states that if RW kicks the bucket or sells the team, that you can walk away and get X number of dollars per year remaining on his deal.

Don't believe despite the reports out there that Raheem Morris and especially John Fox will both be back next year. I only got one quote right now but it's kind of telling. A lot of people expect Fox and/or Morris to get the boot

"There isnt a Bill Cowher type of coach available every year. There will be teams that if Cowher is interested in them will do what they have to do to lure him there."
　
Doing what they have to do doesnt sound like the Buffalo mojo to me, fellas.

[patmoran2006]

Anyone watching ESPN right now? its on here, and wow ???

[Canadian'eh!]

If Carolina job comes open, you can forget about any and all meetings we may have with Cowher.

Probably bought up tickets weeks ago when it seemed the Colts could go 16-0

There are people right now that believe that Cowher endorsed Buddy Nix and is a big reason he was hired (Nix)

It has been reported the Bills meet with Cowher this week, before Nix was hired.

Like I said, if Nix was hired because it was a precursor to bringing in a Schottenheimer or Cowher, then I think the move was a very good one. If they end up hiring another joker like Cameron, Haslett or any first time HC, then it was another sign that mediocrity will continue at One Bills Drive.

I doubt it happened exactly that way. It was probably more like Brandon meeting with Cowher, and saying "we are looking at some potential GMs, one guy is Buddy Nix, what do you think of him?" and Cowher said "yeah, he's good, he knows his stuff, I would consider working with him" and the Bills figured, amongst other things, that was a good endorsement. However, Berman just said on Countdown that Nix is a highly respected personnel guy in the NFL, so it was just further confirmation that he has a good reputation.

Frankly, I'm OK with hiring a guy from the Butler/A.J. Smith tree. Those guys came from Bill Polian originally, did a decent job here in Buffalo, and later in San Diego.

[patmoran2006]

I agree with ya

[patmoran2006]

is it safe to say this week may be the most intense and spirited among Bills fans, EVER?

Ralph bring The Chin to Buffalo

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

im paying more attention to this stupid topic then I should be.

Here’s want I was told a few days ago by someone close to the Panthers team. Unless Fox got an extension, he and Panthers would have a “classy” parting of the ways and the Panthers would pull out all the stops to get Cowher. And, the Panthers expected to get him.

Meanwhile, Fox’s agent, as a back-up in case he could not get the extension for Fox, was floating the idea around the League of a “package deal.” Fox and most of his current assistants and some of the Panthers personnel people would come in en mass and basically take over the Football operations of a new team. The thought being the new team would get a whole proven organization and not just a new head coach who needed to take time putting a staff together.

One big uncertainty was that Fox and his family don’t want to leave NC. He hates the idea of moving and this may make him take up the Panthers' offer to stay on for another year even though he dislikes the idea of working as a lame duck and he knows management wants Cowher. How the Panthers deal with that is anybody’s guess.
