Fingon Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Heard him on WGR about 10 mins ago. He said that the Bills have met with Cowher (or one of his reps) in mid-December, and last week.
PromoTheRobot Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 The Bills are going all-in for Cowher. Not saying we get him for sure, but it won't be for lack of trying. PTR
DaGimp Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 what more is there to discuss...hire the guy. how about a clause that says we will give you 20mil per season and lifetime supply of Duffs chicken wings but you need to win the super bowl within 3 years
BillnutinHouston Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 This kills it - too much leakage from Cowher = Cowher working the Bills to leverage an offer by someone else.

You can't force somone to take a job they don't want. Not saying Cowher won't come to Buffalo but he will decide. Nothing will make him take it. PTR
nucci Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 This kills it - too much leakage from Cowher = Cowher working the Bils to leverage an offer by someone else. Why would a coach in such demand need leverage?
BLZFAN4LIFE Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 This kills it - too much leakage from Cowher = Cowher working the Bils to leverage an offer by someone else. I really don't think that's the angle. He's Bill Cowher for Christ's sake. It's widely known that his asking price is ten mil per with some control. He is one guy that doesn't need to play the leverage game. Plus if he does want to coach this year, his list of suitors has shrunk over the past few weeks.
RayFinkle Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 This kills it - too much leakage from Cowher = Cowher working the Bils to leverage an offer by someone else. Do you really think that premier coach like Cowher needs the Bills so he can "leverage" a better deal. He is worth what he is worth...
H2o Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Why would a coach in such demand need leverage? Not necessarily leverage, but it could drive up the price. I don't know if he's money-hungry or not though. I can't really think of too many other situations that he would take, minus the Carolina job because it is so close to home. I think Fox returns thee next year and the planets are aligning for Cowher to be the Bills next head coach.
BillnutinHouston Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Why would a coach in such demand need leverage? Why would he leak or associate with someone who does? Unless the leak came from someone who Cowher contacted to be on his staff?
cale Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Whomever this Coach Sal is, he sure has some interesting sources. I'd never heard of him until this past week.
billnutinphoenix Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Do you really think that premier coach like Cowher needs the Bills so he can "leverage" a better deal. He is worth what he is worth... agreed

Deadstroke Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 The thing is that if we met with him twice, or should I say HE MET WITH US TWICE, why would he do that if he wasn't interested?
BillnutinHouston Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 The thing is that if we met with him twice, or should I say HE MET WITH US TWICE, why would he do that if he wasn't interested? The meetings and subsequent leaks could be an effort to get the Carolina, Tampa and/or Houston management groups to show their cards. There is NO downside for Cowher to meet with the Bills 20 times and continue leaking.

If we have really met twice AND he is calling assistang coaches then a decision is coming soon. Hey if it's not him, Get Billick in here
