Buffalo fans wanting Bill Cowher were ready to pony up their own money to pay for a billboard, and now the message is up for everyone to see. The billboard made its debut on the I-190 North early Monday morning.
But will it matter?
All indications are that Cowher will not be roaming the Bills sideline come autumn 2010. Several NFL “insiders” including Adam Schefter of ESPN have claimed Cowher will not come to Buffalo. Schefter took to his twitter publicly on Sunday afternoon and sent me a direct message personally claiming his arrival is anything but imminent.

Wilson’s reputation could be the biggest deterrent in landing a proven coach.
“Mr. Wilson has done a great job of keeping the Bills in Buffalo for the past 50 years, but the bottom line is he doesn’t have a very good reputation among coaches and front office personnel in the league,” a former player told me. “He’s done a lot of things that have rubbed people the wrong way in circles and I expect them to struggle to land a guy like Cowher. Their reputations and way they do things don’t mesh well.”

Cowher may not be the only fish the Bills can’t reel in. According to multiple reports the team can’t even secure a pair of interviews with coordinator candidates.
ESPN’s John Clayton says the Bills will ask to speak to Russ Grimm on Monday and Grimm will decline. The team was also interested in Ron Rivera, but the San Diego Tribune is reporting that Rivera declined their overture.
Yes, respected coordinators would rather remain in their role than become Buffalo’s next head coach. That’s what it’s come to in Western New York.
