[Dicknoze69]

THINGS ARE LOOK VERY GOOD... starting to get excited again after days of discouraging news

[Demon]

Great news.

Channel 2 news had Adam Bergnini as the lead for 5 pm news. He interviewed Marty Schottenheimer today and Marty said "Cowher and the Bills are a perfect fit" and he believes "it's very likely" Cowher will end up with the Bills. Bergnini also added that the Bills are still strongly pursuing Cowher.

Also, after that segment, they showed Pat's billboard and mentioned BSD.

Now sit back and watch the onslaught of websites, AP news, tweets, sports radio, SportsCenter, and everything else go bananas.

Of all the stuff we have heard in the last week, this is the most promising. That is not to say we are any closer, but it is better than anything Joe Logan has ever said.

[B-DON]

I have seen this happen way too many times to get excited now. It never ends good for us bills fans. ever

[Mudflap1]

I know what you are saying, but I'm not sure it matters. The news will be out there before then that the billboard is going up.

[TrEd FTW]

Schottenheimer is close to both Nix and Cowher. This bodes well. Very well.

My thoughts exactly.

It goes up Monday.

[Mudflap1]

These guys are in a fraternity. It's noteworthy that Marty would open his mouth about what he thinks Cowher would do, and be that definitive about it.

[mikemac2001]

It goes up Monday.

Just wait until one of NFL Network, ESPN, Fox Sports (your boy Jay Glazer!) or CBS national contacts you.

[trapezeus]

it bodes well until it doesn't.

i'm the giddiest i've ever been for a huge deal coming out of OBD, but at the same time, i am preparing for the worst. 30 years of crappiness is hard to ignore.

we had a fire jauron billboard...and while i dont think he was fired because of it..he was still fired.

Now a hire Cowher one...cant hurt!

That is not totally true, I remember a lot of talking heads said Ralph would never fire a coach mid season.

[NOT THE DUDE...]

man im hoping there is an announcement tonight or 2mor.... get it done ralph!!!!!!!

[Mudflap1]

That is not totally true, I remember a lot of talking heads said Ralph would never fire a coach mid season.

That's true.

[WagonCircler]

If all of this frenzy of information today is to be believed, wouldn't a billboard be overkill, or too late?

Maybe it should be a "Bills fans welcome Bill Cowher" billboard.

God, I hope so.

[THE END OF ALL DAYS]

pat said it could be changed in a heartbeat so if cowher or someone is announced it can be changed

God, I hope so.

If Cowher is hired before or at any point of it being up, it will quickly be changed to welcome him

That's great to hear dude. Thanks for the info.:beers:

[trapezeus]

i think to guarantee cowher, we need to arrange a billboard that has bud adams, his two middle fingers up in that leisure suit, and the quote, "you'll never have a winner ralphi. Never going to get cowher."

The second that billboard goes up, ralph will sign the deal. he's like marty mcfly getting called chicken. Ralph won't be told what he can and can't do.

[Oaf]

Keep in mind Marty does not have any insider info on Cowher and is only giving his opinion based on his analysis on the situation.

So "very likely" doesn't mean anything beyond his opinion that the Bills and Cowher are a fit.

[Mudflap1]

Bill Cowher was Marty Schottenheimer's protege. So I'd say there is certainly a chance they still talk. And Buddy Nix and Marty get along well.

[don137]

The free publicity from the billboard is worth so much more than the cost of the billboard. I guarantee Cowher heard of it through some medium. It will not be enough to persuade him but it will definitely make him think 'this is my kind of football town.'

[YardRat]

That is not totally true, I remember a lot of talking heads said Ralph would never fire a coach mid season.

Except for the fact that he had done so before in the past.

[ParanoidAndroid]

Nix = GM
Cowher = President and HC with final say.
That might end up being what he will need to take the job.

[Michael82]

Interesting....Sounds like my thoughts last night about the Hickory, NC connection being Marty Schottenheimer may be right. I'm betting that both Brandon and Nix who flew from Buffalo to Hickory, NC last night met Cowher at Schottenheimer's house to keep it on the downlow. :up:

[Ebenezer]

this all tells me that Shottzy is the next HC.

[JPFBillsFan]

GOD I hope everyone doesn't get the rug pulled out from them after the last minute. Just keep in mind with Fraizer, this wasn't a Rooney Rule interview, they genuinely wanted to interview him. We're all missing the obvious stuff right in front of us instead opping for the fluff or pipe dream.
