GunnerBill Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Can you trade picks for coaches now? I thought that had been banned? Gruden to New York is much more likely than Cowher for my money.
Kirby Jackson Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Btw, am I the only person that think that Cowher would be a disaster in today's NFL? His ultra conservative, punt from the 39 on 4th and an inch is destined to fail in this high scoring league. The pace of the game that the winning teams play at vs. the pace that he liked to play at are opposites. I have no interest in him whatsoever. If the Bills are in the market for a new coach (and it isn't Schwartz) Gus Malzahn is my 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. I hope not, and can only hope its somebody lame again. Eric Mangini, Herman Edwards, Al Groh... their choices for head coaches are about as bad as their choices for QB. Just think, this team fired Mangini at 9-7. Plus they had Bill Belichick for a day! Ha ha, I'm hoping for Kyle Shanahan.
GunnerBill Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Still I just don't get it. He's been to a super bowl and conference championship. Totally outperformed his predecessor singletary. With how hard it is to find a competent HC, why mess with it? Just because he can be an ass? At least he wins Because if he working relationship has broken down between him and his bosses and (as alleged) between him and some of his players that can only be to the long term detriment. I think the 9ers miss the play-offs, go 8-8 and make a change. Harbaugh walks away with a very strong CV and the 9ers is a very attractive job. Lots of rumous that the team very much like Greg Roman and maybe promote him.
CodeMonkey Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) I think Cowher will coach again and it will be in Buffalo. (In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he was waiting for the Pegula ownership of the Bills all along). If I remember correctly, Cowher said before that he would want a franchise QB in place before he would coach a team again. Didn't want to take the time to find, then develop, one himself. Neither the Jests or the Bills have a franchise QB on the roster. I could see the Jests wanting Harbaugh, the question is would he want the Jests. Edited November 3, 2014 by CodeMonkey

If the Bills are in the market for a new coach (and it isn't Schwartz) Gus Malzahn is my 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. Totally agree. He may have a good defense if he ever comes back and win a few games, but he's been on the sidelines for a long time. Could he come back and do well? Maybe, but he would need a bright offensive mind on his staff
bobobonators Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 From what I've heard from local radio shows - Cowher does not have an interest in coaching again unless it's the perfect situation. The Jets are far, far, far from that.
D521646 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Ideally, for me, we lose Schwartz and pick up Rexy in the offseason. Tim-
fansince88 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 They are not the Bills. I dont care honestly.

Captain Hindsight Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 He's another guy that I think would struggle mightily if he returned. The Tampa 2 has been a disaster in recent years. Yup. Look at one of his pupils in Lovie Smith. Tampa has somehow gotten worse since Schiano was fired
Kirby Jackson Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Yup. Look at one of his pupils in Lovie Smith. Tampa has somehow gotten worse since Schiano was fired The game just changes so quickly that these guys that were effective 10 years ago may not be successful now. The best way to judge them isn't on their record but on their philosophy and scheme. Are teams that have a similar approach or scheme to "x" former coach succeeding in 2014? If the answer is the Tampa 2 has been getting shredded, there is no reason to believe that Dungy would have a successful comeback.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I think Cowher will coach again and it will be in Buffalo. (In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if he was waiting for the Pegula ownership of the Bills all along). As for the Jets, Harbaugh is my guess. I think they trade a pick to get him and give him all the power (Ryan and Idzik both get canned). If not Harbaugh, I could see Jon Gruden. He's an egomaniac and would love the NY stage. Plus they'll have a pick in the top two or three so he can choose his QB. Jon Gruden said he would coach for the Raiders given the chance.I think he'll want to stay out west where it is warmer
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Unless they go on a tear in 2nd half (highly unlikely), then it's near a certainty Rex won't be coaching Jets come next season. Some possible candidates: - Rob Ryan: Don't laugh, stranger things have happened and this is the Jets - Bill Cowher: (my darkhorse favorite) Already in NYC for broadcasting, probably loves the big market spotlight. Think he'll like Jets core of decent players, high draft picks, and cap space - Darrell Bevell: Not sure why his name always comes up since Seattle is really known for defense, but it does so I'll put him here - Josh McDaniels: He left Bellichick before, he wants to be a head coach. But would he betray him for a division rival? Never know, these teams have a weird history of coach movements - Kyle Shanahan: First time in years Browns have an offense. With something to hang his hat on, just a matter of time before "the other" Shanahan gets a shot - Jim Schwartz: If Bills D ends up Top 3, it's possible. Last year we lost a 1-year DC after he got credit for a big move up the defensive rankings Nate Hackett
