The one question about Cowher nobody can/will answer

[patmoran2006]

Just today alone, I spoke with two writers from the Buffalo News, two reporters who cover the NFL nationally, THREE former players and someone else I consider a "go to" guy, asking only a single question, and nobody could or would answer it.

"Why has Bill Cowher not publicly said thanks but no thanks to the Buffalo Bills job" ?

He'd have nothing to lose by stating he's not interested; its not like he'd lose leverage elsewhere.

And to boot, even our owner has admitted the sides have talked and Wilson even said "you'll have to ask him"

Q: Why hasn't Bill Cowher publicly stated that he does not want to be stung to death by killer bees?

A: Why the **** would Bill Cowher waste his time issuing public statements about things he clearly has no interest in doing?

Because Cowher wants to coach and would need this job offer as leverage if another deal were to open that interested him.

Or maybe the Bills asked him not to give an answer "yes" or "no" until a certain date.

Either way, as I said from the beginning, Cowher is never, ever, coming here.

My old company could offer me twice what I'm making now and I would still say no. At some point it's about the quality and not the quantity.

Simon Cowell turned down 100 million dollars to return to American Idol.

Ralph's legacy is that he let the Bills fall to a point that only a new owner can turn it around.

No, they didn't. None of those people issued statements saying "I have no interest in coaching the Buffalo Bills," either. It's just that no one gives a damn because none of them are Bill Cowher.

Let it go, folks.

That really has no relevance. He turned it down because he is bringing his Britian show to the U.S.

The only part of your answer that had to do with the question is your first answer (though I certainly agree with your statements).

What are you talking about? Yes they did. All 3 of them publicly turned down the Bills.

I've already "let it go" in terms of thinking he's coming here.

However. Since its been reported and even the owner was quoted as saying they've met, you'd think Cowher would issue SOMETHING to at least confirm something, even a generic "It's not the right opportunity at the right time" kind of one liner.

This is nothing different from what I've been asking/saying for the last three weeks. Here, on other boards, on my show, etc..

Well, Shanahan sort of did, by taking another job.

I must have missed the statements issued by the other two. A link would be awesome.
