1. Bill Cowher has not said "No" to the Bills.
2. It appears as if the Bills are making a full out push to get him in town. Their past history might kill them, but they are doing what they can now.
3. On all of the sports discussion shows that talk about the situation, Cowher to Buffalo is dismissed as something will never happen. However, those people never seem to cite sources and seem to be speculating and using "common sense" When sources are cited, it sounds like he is considering it.
4. The one place that it could be shot down on, CBS, made not mention of it today. When Casserly discussed candidates for the Bills, Cowher's name was never mentioned. Very interesting.
5. The Bills are being very slow in interviewing other candidates. This is not necessarily bad, because there is no competition for hc jobs, as of now. The problem starts to arise when it is time to hire assistants.
6. Cowher has also not said yes. Disturbing. Assuming the offer made is a fair one (And I am positive it is), what is the hold-up? Hold-ups like family and talent level of the roster are out of the Bills hands right now.
7. People will take the smallest rumor and run with it, even if it is from a random douchebag on Twitter, Facebook or message boards.
8. If Cowher wants the job, he might take awhile to say yes. How long should the Bills wait before they move on and go after somebody else?
9. The hire of Nix might not be a negative, in fact it might be positive. Fact is, if he comes in Cowher will not want a strong GM. He will want somebody he can work with and that can help evaluate talent. But not somebody with a strong track record that could try and fight all of his choices. There is little doubt that Nix can evaluate talent.
10. Keeping Modrak around, is also not terrible. Cowher worked with him before and they appear to respect and like one another.
11. The number of false rumors is staggering. Everybody remember the rumor about the Bills standing up a meeting with Cowher?
I think that was my favorite one!!!!
Look, as of this time nobody knows for sure what is going. Based on the reports that we have seen from people who have shown a good track record, it appears as if the Bills are strongly pursuing the man with a chin. They have likely made a fair offer to him. What needs to happen now, is he needs to decide to accept or reject it. He might need to be convinced that money will be spent on players and assistants. He might need to convince his family. In the meantime, the Bills are slowly looking for plan B by interviewing Frazier, Fewell and perhaps Harbaugh, Grim and others. And this mystery might not be resolved for a long time. Or, it could be resolved tomorrow morning or tonight.
All I know is that if there are any flights from NYC to Buffalo tonight, I am going speculate away!!!!!
