Cowher in Buffalo rumors again pick up steam

UPDATE: ESPN's Adam Schefter is refuting this report via Twitter:

Bill Cowher not in Buffalo today. He was, according to source, "walking his dog" this morning. Cowher still unlikely to coach in 2010.

Of course, NFL.com's Jason La Canfora is disputing Schefter's report on Cowher's willingness to coach in 2010, too. End Update

I guess since ProFootballTalk.com picked this up, it's time to mention it here. Even though we really didn't want to bring it up.

Joe Logan, reporting at EastAurora.org, wrote early Monday morning that former Pittsburgh head coach Bill Cowher was expected in Buffalo today, Tuesday, to meet with the Bills about their vacant head coaching position.

As Mike Florio notes, the report merits at least a closer look, given that Logan also reported that Buffalo's entire coaching staff would be fired - about five hours before we got the word from Jay Glazer, if that time stamp is to be believed.

This report directly contradicts word from ESPN's Adam Schefter that Cowher is unlikely to return to coaching in 2010. It is, to this point, the only report that exists claiming that Cowher and the Bills will hold a second meeting. ESPN reported over the weekend that the two sides had a "stealth" meeting last week, in which Bills brass attempted to gauge Cowher's interest in the job.

So there. Now it's here for you to talk about. It's certainly intriguing, but we caution you to keep the lid on your excitement - with proper respect to Mr. Logan, this is the first we've heard of him and his website. Take it however you wish, but until we hear more reliable sources confirm or deny this report, color us skeptical.

i’m fine with him or billick. i really don’t want schottenheimer^2 or some hot coordinator like the eagles DC. we’ve gone that route – it might work – but i’ll go with someone who’s coached before and won SB’s.

i really really really don’t want a guy like frazier, grimm etc…. sure they might be the next billichick – but they coudl be the next mularkey or williams.

give me the guy that’s had experience and will bring good assistants with him and attract free agents and sell tickets and eat popcorn and tell billichick he smells like old socks

McDermott is NOT a hot coaching candidate, I can tell you that right now, dude's portion of the team has been getting BLASTED

Anyone who hired him as HC should be rightly considered a moron.

Just because he’s a bad play caller doesn’t make him a bad motivator. I don’t disagree he might not be ready but he’s one of my favorites because of his attitude and demeanor.

by MattRichWarren on Jan 5, 2010 4:13 PM EST up reply actions  

Thats all well and good, but he needs to prove to me he can make the players he has better

He has some studs on that D and they -played bad, that speaks much more strongly to me than someones attitude and demeanor. Do I want a guy who will whip this team into shape, sure, and I think a disciplinarian might be what the team needs, but he has to be able to get those guys to play well.

McDermott might prove me wrong in another couple of seasons, but for now, like B Schottenheimer, PASS.

I would be willing to be Cowher has made little to no statement regarding staying put for 2010. I think the pundits need the story so they circumnavigate the facts and report on their gut feelings.

report

also says Cowher will make a decision by end of NEXT WEEK. It also says the only other option for Cowher is Carolina, which directly contradicts reports that have said Fox is safe. I don’t know how much I buy into this report until we get confirmation from other sources hopefully later today.

The report does make sense in inferring that one of the reasons the Bills fired the entire coaching staff, is bc Cowher is assembling his own staff, and they wanted to adhere to his wishes immediately.

All this is nice and fine, but until I see Nix really put his stamp on this organization and clean house of scouts and personnel departments, I’m not ready to buy in….just yet

I agree. While I would love to believe in all these crazy rumors, and I believe me I’m a sucker for crazy, far-fetched rumors, I just can’t see Cowher coming to Buffalo, unless his wish to return to coaching this year is as strong as Glazer reports it is.

In the end, we’ll all have to settle for a guy like Russ Grimm, which certainly isn’t going to cheer up or remotely satisfy Buffalo Bills-fans, but again that’s just what happens, and I do believe Grimm could become a very solid HC.

Fox apparently is looking for security that he wil get an extension before returning to Carolina for 2010, according to something I read somewhere either NFL.com or si.com

I think part of Nix's waiting as far as Guy and Modrak is he is waiting to see whom the new HC would like to work with

Afterall, they will be affecting who may or may not be given to the HC to work with on the field. But I can’t be sure, also, if its like any other business, I’mm betting end of the year reviews are happening right now, so we should see some turnover soon.

If Cowher is willing to pass up a reported 10 million a year (maybe more…depending on how fancy Wilson wants to get) to avoid Buffalo, how badly do we all really want him here? Whoever the next coach is, he must buy into the legacy that this franchise holds (which isn’t much the last decade).

exactly… if he wont take 10 a year plus part ownership then to hell with him. He obviously doesnt WANT to be here. There is no sense in pretending we “got the right man for the job” if he doesnt want to be here. I would rather have someone like Billick who already has his coordinators being set up and ready to coach. Someone who wants to be the HC of the Buffalo Bills. If you dont want it…. I dont want you.

Wow even IT guys have sources now. Am I the only one left without a source? I also wouldn’t read to much into a timestamp, they are easily manipulated and can be based on the time zone of the web server which could be set to anything.

I really don’t believe Cowher will end up in Buffalo, and I’m not that upset by it. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love him here, but I also believe there are many other qualified coaches.

Having said that I also wouldn’t put to much stock in Schefter and Mort’s reports that he is inclined not to coach this year. It may be true but it may also be a bargaining tactic. The fact that there are only a couple of openings (and so far only one viable one) severely limits his bargaining power so the only chip he really has left is to threaten to go back to CBS. All he has to do is have a few friends pass that information on to some insiders, let it get out there for teams to hear, and hope it drives up his price.

Then again maybe he just doesn’t want to coach in Buffalo.

I'm sick of all these rumors!!

Let’s face it, this team needs to make three key signings to compete next year. While you all have been watching college football and running to the fridge during commercial breaks, I’ve been doing some real scouting. Here are the picks:

(1) Quarterback: Budd Light

You know he can keep the good times rolling. Now just imagine how he can keep the chains moving. I’d even let him keep his baby-blue jumpsuit and aviator shades.

(2) Defensive End: The Burger King Bayou Burger Guy

All attitude, all the time. This guy plays nasty. He’d poke an OL in the eyes and run past him before they knew what hit them. Then he’d do that Cajun crouch dance all up and down Brady’s spine.

(3) Head Coach: The Dos Equis Most Interesting Man in the World

Who else? He’s a lover, not a fighter; but he’s a fighter too, so don’t get any ideas. Can you imagine him on the sidelines in his elegant suits, smoking a cigar, and staring down Billicheck across the field with his steely gaze? And you know he’s calm under pressure too. He once had an uncomfortable moment . . . just to know what it felt like! You’d seriously want Cowher when this guy is available?!?!?! Screw Cowher!

I’m OK with Rivera. According to my friends in Chicago – Lovie Smith railroaded him so he couldn’t challenge him for the HC spot with the Bears. The Cowher thing keeps us in the news and is good PR, but in the end we will end up with a 2nd tier HC – just like a we ended up with a 2nd tier GM.

I have said it in my comments on another post before but I will say it again. Until I hear from Cowher via some type of media, then I do NOT believe he is excluded from our coaching vacany as of yet. I agree with Zumone. With a resume like Cowhers, why would is be necessary for him to be physically in Buffalo for an interview?
I am not sure who watched the pregame show with Cowher on Sunday but Marino looked right at him and said “and coach will be back here in the studio next year, right coach” and Cowher studdered a bit and with hesitation said, “Probably”. That hesitation to me is not counting him out. I believe he said that just because he is in the middle of discussions with “some” team this week.
I know that I have been preaching Cowher all along and I am trying not to get my hopes up, but I just don’t discount anything until I hear it from the horses mouth. Not the Media.

Bill Cowher’s dog took a dump 20 minutes ago – it was on Schefter’s latest tweet. What does this all mean?? Is this a sign? Was that Cowher in O.J.‘s Bronco heading north on I-95? Or was that Billick…..or one of Marty’s kids? Stay tuned to the latest Cowher thread!!!!

If the dog took a dump on Schefter’s latest tweet, then it says alot about what Cowher’s dog thinks of Schefter.

"Vegas Odds"

According to this bloomberg article. The leading candidates to land the Buffalo Bills’ coaching job, according to online oddsmakers:
- Cowher 3-1
- Schottenheimer 3-1
- Jim Harbaugh 4-1
- Ron Rivera 9-2
- Leslie Frazier 5-1.

by Zumone on Jan 5, 2010 1:24 PM EST reply actions  

and by Schottenheimer they mean Jets OC Brian Schottenheimer (booo!)

by Zumone on Jan 5, 2010 1:26 PM EST up reply actions  

Then the best thing to do is hope the Jets last a while in the playoffs, as undeserving as they are. It must be nice to play 2 games in a row against teams that decide to forfit the contest, especially when the win benfits your chances. I see them as a 7-9 club at the end of the day.

Not to mention that Bill Callahan is the one that should be getting credit for the Jets offense.

Bill Polian and AJ Smith are gone, so there's not the usual balance between "sane" and "others." Ralph has mentally checked out since 1994. It's a very dangerous time. The coalition for reason is extremely weak.

oh and I still think Cowher is an option too for the record. Let the naysayers naysay.

I’m sick of the media ripping on Buffalo. Its so uncalled for. Anyone else doubt for one minute that if Jairus Byrd was a Cowboy he’d be DROY? its a miracle he made the Pro Bowl playing for our team. Enough is enough. They talk about how big name coaches dont want to go to a loser in Buffalo and then say Tampa is an option. Gimme a break.

I like Harbaugh, but how much of our support for him is for what he did at stanford, and how much is because his brother is a good football coach?

Im just not sure he’s earned the right to be in the discussion. 17-20 as a D-1A head coach? Call me in 3 years.

It would be THE move to make

Let’s face it. Cowher would be the perfect fit in Buffalo. What with his hard nosed approach and a fire in his gut, what better man to lead and teach discipline to a team who’s lost their focus and purpose. He’s a blue collar guy that doesn’t tolerate mistakes and hates losing. Run and stop the run…it’s what he’s all about. And he has a method for getting things done that previous coaches have lacked. He fits this town and this organization. I hope it happens.
