thewildrabbit Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Bill Cowher, the Buffalo Bills next head coach. This is the stuff dreams are made of...We know he is a winner, great talent evaluator, supreme motivator, I just hope the Bills also get a really good OC to build a better offense.

GrudginglyPessimistic Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 that is what we are doing. Fewell is going to be the first one interviewed. The Bills were looking at GM candidates as well as HC candidates up until the hiring of Nix. Thus if there is any need to make a case that they are doing their first HC interview to satisfy the Rooney Rule then that case can easily be made. Actually, I have never seen a Rooney Rule requirement that the first interview must be a minority candidate and this makes little sense to me if it is the rule (Perhaps after Det and Millen so flagrantly ignored it with the hiring of the long since let go Mariucci without the semblance of any competitive interview process ridiculous things were required to deal with a ridiculous situation where the good old boy network resulted in few qualified minority candidates getting HC jobs while idiots such as Rich Kotite got multiple shots). As best as I can tell the Rooney Rule represents a great step forward for the NFL as it does not simply require a hiring quota creating unqualified folks to get hired but does set an opportunity quota where an obviously aggrieved group gets a shot at inteviewing. The blatant silliness of qualified applicants who happened to be of minority descent not getting HC jobs was clear by the numbers in the NFL. Rather than a hiring quota the NFL instituted an internship program to feed the pipeline of minority candidates. Though by the numbers the HCs do not come near to matching the racial breakdown on the players (an obvious major source of qualified candidates though clearly not an exclusive source) quite quickly we are seeing qualified minority candidates getting more HC jobs but also seeing them exceed with folks like Dungy and Tomlin HCing their teams to SB wins. My guess is that Fewell has greatly increased his leverage in market place by toting up a 3-4 record as an HC of a team which was 3-6 when he got it. It seems clear to me that since he failed to achieve a winning record with the squad there is no way the Bills should keep him. However, by going through the interview process once (likely unsuccessfully unless Nix is totally deranged) and logging a near 500 record with a team that easily could have given up he has put himself on the track to be named asst HC somewhere in the DC role as well. By the numbers, the Rooney Rule seems to work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Ralph Wilson is making a pubie salad and he wants some Bill Cowher's own dressing. Way to add to the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 How sad will it be when Cowher chooses CBS over Buffalo. In case people are planning on developing an inferiority complex over this they should remember that Cowher also turned down the Jets and the Redskins.
