"Cowher and Schottenheimer have very similar football philosophies. They both consider themselves teachers more than coaches. As football coaches, they're just about the same guy, only one's proven that he can win a Super Bowl, and the other hasn't. If the Bills hire him, and then one day fire him because they don't feel like he's the guy to get them over the Super Bowl hump, he will have done his job."

BillBoard: Trestman worth a look
"The more I think about it, the more I think Marc Tretsman is worth an interview - and a hard look - by the Buffalo Bills," says Mark Gaughan. "Trestman coached Montreal to the CFL title this year. He has a ton of NFL experience as an offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. Steve Young and Rich Gannon love him. He coached Gannon to his NFL MVP season in 2002 in Oakland. He goes all the way back to the University of Miami with Bernie Kosar in 1983."
