Wayne Cubed Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) Please no. Both Cowher/Dungy and how they build and coach a football team is gone the way of the dinosaurs. It just won't work in today's NFL. And I highly doubt these guys change what the way they do things. EDIT: Look for the next 'big thing' and hope Whaley can identify that person like he can identify draft talent and back up the bank truck. Edited November 14, 2014 by Wayne Cubed
LB3 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 I wonder if Madden would come out of retirement. I'm sure he'd have some pretty innovative ideas.
Maddog69 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 the thing I like about Cowher is that he has a great track record in hiring assistant coaches and building a tough team identity that would fit well in buffalo.

nucci Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 For the right money, they'll "un-retire" real quick. Are you sure? Gruden pulls in about $4M doing MNF. Cowher and Dungy are well paid by CBS and NBC

For the most part, Head coaches do things the same now as they always have. Teams are always looking for new formations and plays and such but game management hasn't changed. Cowher could step right back in and be successful. He will hire and OC and DC to run those parts of the game and based on his previous hires, I am confident he will hire good ones. If Pegula can get Cowher, I am confident we would have one of the best coaching staffs in football and we have not been able to say that in a very long time.
bobobonators Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 I would stick two screwdrivers through both my eyes if we got Dungy.
Mr. WEO Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Dungy? This is the guy who won a single SB with Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, MArvin Harrison, E. James, Dallas Clark, Robert Mathis, Bob Sanders, Dwight Freeney---and had a losing record in the playoffs! He's the guy who, as soon as he left Tampa, they won the SB! No thanks--he's awful as a HC. He can be the team pastor maybe.

The game has change quite a bit. Sure, management hasn't change. The concept of the game has. Are you confident Cowher can identify coaching talent that understands the game in the NFL now? I'm not. As much as you think because he's and analyst he's been following the game, I can almost guarantee he hasn't been studying the nuances of the game. How much talent evaluation has he been doing? Hell, CBS doesn't even used him for that. Look how much the college game now influences the NFL. The game has spead up and stretched the field. We are seeing the most prolific passing offenses the NFL has ever seen. That is not anything like the game Cowher left.
Bills Fan in MD Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 I can't stand Dungy. He's a sanctimonious and judgmental jerk.
Fixxxer Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Do you think both Cowher and Dungy will abandon cushy jobs where they get 10' of make up for the grind of 16 hours a day job?
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Harbaugh - from what I hear he's worn out his welcome in SF, and if the 9ers don't make the playoffs ... the odds increase he'll be let go.
Fadingpain Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Harbaugh - from what I hear he's worn out his welcome in SF, and if the 9ers don't make the playoffs ... the odds increase he'll be let go. He would be my absolute NO. 1 first choice...assuming there is not some rising, innovative star out there in College football I don't know about. Harbaugh's best days are still in front of him as a head coach in the NFL. I'd like the Bills to be a part of those days! Talking about guys like Dungy and Cowher is just stupid; those guys are done coaching anyway....and their best work is well behind them. It's about the future and looking forward, not backward!
rfk Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 The sooner Marrone and company are shipped out the better. Please get Cowher, or Dungy, and pay a king's ransom if necessary. While you are at it, get Polian, or Accorsi in here. YES Cowher!!! A real coach with real wins a spit in your face motivator !
K-9 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 No to both. These guys make Marrone look like a riverboat gambler. GO BILLS!!!

Most of the coaches in the NFL have been around for years, if not decades. Cowher is very well connected. He is by far the #1 choice in my mind to lead to Bills back to Championship quality football.
fridge Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Most of the coaches in the NFL have been around for years, if not decades. Hey man, Nate Hackett has been around for months.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 IMO.... Beggars cant be choosers CBF
