Chief Loves Bills Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 John Clayton was on Mike and Mike this morning and said that the best possibility for Coach Cowher is the Jets. He believes that Mangini is gone and that New York will give anything to Cowher that he asks for, including salary. If its not the Jets than Coach goes back to the booth. Does Cowher come to New York and make things tougher for Buffalo? Thoughts...
tomc702 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 wow.....great info; thanks..... if the bills stand pat with parcells, bellichek and cower in the division we won't sniff the playoffs for another decade......this is really a time of crisis/opportunity for the bills........

Does Cowher come to New York and make things tougher for Buffalo? Thoughts... If cower goes to the Jets and we still have Jauron we will be deadlast in the division again Jauron cannot beat bellicheck, or a Parcells run teamed and certainly he cannot beat a Cower lead team this would put the nails in our coffin of survival in the east nad thats waht happens when you dont have a plan. Think about it... When did you ever hear this team say we are going to take the division they have on many occasions conceded the division to the Pats and only way in was the Wildcard spot. Who does that Your goal should always be to be the best in your division thats the only gaurantee you will make the playoffs. DUMB A$$
GG Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Yey again. If Clayton reports that Cowher is going to the Jets, it means that Cowher will be coaching in Sand Diego next year

Does Cowher come to New York and make things tougher for Buffalo? Thoughts... Boomer Esiason does the morning radio show for WFAN in NY and the topic of Cowher coaching the Jets came up on Monday. He laughed at the suggestion and said there is no way Cowher would coach the Jets. It sounded to me like he has had some conversations with his NFL Today studio-mate regarding the possibility of the Jets and that's why he was laughing. Cowher is going to go to a team which has a lot of upside (good players or good draft picks). The Jets are not that team given Favre's age and pending retirement and no prospect of getting a winning QB anytime soon. He does not want to be given a hand that's a losing one in a pressure cooker like NYC. I also don't think he fits well in a big city like NY, doesn't seem like his style at all.
Fewell733 Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 One thing that's not brought up in the Cowher talk is how much longer does he actually want to coach.
scribo Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 If Cower is looking for the ultimate chance to show he is the best, taking over the Jests is probably his best opportunity. He would have to deal with the toughest media and play two games against Bellycheat each season and two against Tuna every season. Expectations would be bigger than even when Joe Gibbs came out of retirement a few years back. That said, I thought he liked the Pittsburgh-style-blue-collar cities. Isn't that why he just bought a home near Cleveland? New Jersey is a long way from Pittsburgh. Then again, maybe he is looking to get away from that. I think this would be a huge risk for Cower. It would either be disastrous for him or the crowning achievement of his career. He already has a spot waiting for him in the Hall of Fame. Why gamble that? Why? Because that's what guys like him do.

BillsVet Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 It would be the trifecta in the AFCE. Belichick/Pioli in NE, Parcells in MIA, and Cowher in NYJ. With a lineup like that, we'll be seeing last place more often than the KC Royals. And to think, we've got them all beat with Russ Brandon. Awesome!
lets_go_bills Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I don't know how seriously you can take anything said by a guy who looks like an alien.

Not gonna happen but it would be a nice Christmas miracle.
thewildrabbit Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Cowher to Jets... I highly doubt it considering that Bill Cowher would want almost total control over who is drafted and all personnel decisions, there would be a huge conflict in that regard because of the current Jets GM and president.

Does Cowher come to New York and make things tougher for Buffalo? Thoughts... I doubt Cowher is willing to put himself in the NY media hotseat. He can have his pick of teams my guess is that he waits for his preference and i doubt the Jests are it. Aside from the media he is not going to a team that has no QB (Faurve's best is past and he is likely to retire).
Just Jack Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 One thing that's not brought up in the Cowher talk is how much longer does he actually want to coach. I saw an article (tried to find a link online, can't, but it was CBS Watch magazine) that was written before this season started, where Cowher said he likes being at home with his family now that he's just in the studio a few days a week. So it would have to be a really good offer in my opinion for him to go back to coaching while his daughters are still in school.
billnutinphoenix Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 Yey again. If Clayton reports that Cowher is going to the Jets, it means that Cowher will be coaching in Sand Diego next year hopefully!

Please tell me one wrong thing Brandon did in his first year on the job.
Guest dog14787 Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Please tell me one wrong thing Brandon did in his first year on the job. Someone decided to take an assistant coach from an offense that clearly wasn't working and promote him to OC. Who's brilliant idea was this?
Steely Dan Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Someone decided to take an assistant coach from an offense that clearly wasn't working and promote him to OC. Who's brilliant idea was this? Jauron's.

Who's brilliant idea was this? It was Jauron's. Head coaches chose their staff. but in games that Trent has started and finished, the Bills average 26 points/ game (which would be good for 5th in the league). Turk hasn't be perfect but there is definite improvement.
