i say that both the bills and cowher are waiting to hear the terms of shanahan's deal with washington. "IF" the bills are willing to offer Cowher the same deal.....Cowher would accept......otherwise he will just wait out the Carolina job.

who is skooby?
skooby is someone who used to post alot in here claiming "sources deep inside OBD"........posting garbage etc...
do you know anyone like that ??

and with google earth we can see Cowher still walking his dog.

I think Cowher does want to coach this year. Just not in Buffalo if he can help it. Right now the Bills are Cowher's "date insurance" for the prom. He knows he can dance with us but is waiting to see if any prettier girls will go with him.
While Cowher can always go back to CBS I think he feels like he can't waste another year from the NFL. The longer he's out of coaching the more the game will pass him by. That's why he can't bring himself to say no to the Bills like Shanahan did.
When it comes done to it, and no better jobs are available, he may say yes eventually. The problem for Buffalo is we can't wait around for Cowher to decide. We have to look at other candidates.

and technically, Cowher was not the bills first choice as they made a run at Shanahan. anyways, he and buffalo are clearly still in play......all of cowhers other options are drying up. i could easily imagine that Cowher was expecting a $10 million a year offer (what shanahan was reportedly demanding) and the bills haven't gone that high yet with them thinking they don't have to. they probably are both waiting to see what Shanahan signs for in washington. For discussion purposes, lets say Cowher cost $10 million a year , while Marty, Billick and all others might cost $5 mil a year........lots for nix, brandon and ralph to consider.......is cowher worth twice as much ?

dude, lighten the hell up , its called a prediction, we are allowed to have fun and make predictions, this is a message board, not the catholic church......
get a life man
still masquerading as a 9 year old ??

i dont know what to believe anymore
it's tuesday.......remember ? you have been guaranteeing Cowher will be named head coach today (from your sources deep within OBD).......and that Billick will be named head coach tommorrow (wed).
-
according to very very deep sources at obd billick will be signing wed.
let's see, you have Cowher signing on tuesday......Billick signing on Wednesday......claiming in the shout box you are 9 years old.......anyone signing on thursday ?........hopefully you will be signing off soon.

championship !

Anyone but Cowher will split the board in two.
PTR
maybe into thirds......Cowher is only in third place in a recent poll.....lol

i voted Marty
-
They both met with Cowher- Now he is staying retired
Brandon met with Shanahan- He said no thank you a few weeks later.
Maybe we should just let Nix do the talking lol
ultimately, that is exactly the strategy that is going to work.......cause Nix is going to talk Marty out of retirement.

Man, I just decided to stop obsessively checking for Cowher/coaching updates. Well, maybe to reduce my obsessive searches at least. There is just no reliable info out there.
i'm with you......i think i'll start with once an hour, instead of every 5 minutes....lol
-
gee....that shows how much all those reliable media experts know (Glazer, Scheffter, Mort, Associated Press, etc...)

They lived in Pittsburgh for God sakes, that's not exactly a tropical mecca.
syracuse???...you are the snow capital.....buff getting a bum rap......(lol)
-
right now cowher is trying to convince Mrs. Cowher......."honey, it's really not that cold and snowy in buffalo"......lol
-
in my opinion....
Russ Brandon's first choice is Cowher.....most buzz and ticket sales. the job is his if he wants it.
Buddy Nix's first choice is the father/son combo of Marty & Brian Schottenheimer.
-
for discussion purposes.......the bills are doing the "dirty" work of firing all coaches to clear the way for the next head coach. it doesn't mean the next head coach couldn't offer Bobby April, or any other coach his job back, although thats probably unlikely.

The Buffalo Bills have commenced "Operation Cleaning House."
On Monday the Bills fired their entire coaching staff -- including interim head coach Perry Fewell, FOXSports.com has learned. Fewell, however, is expected to officially interview Monday for the Bills' permanent head-coaching position.
The team has already met with former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher and believes that his interest in the opening is genuine.
Buffalo is also making plans to interview several current assistant coaches to fill their head-coaching void. That list includes Eagles defensive coordinator Sean McDermitt, Cardinals assistant head coach Russ Grimm and Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier. Other possibilities include Jets offensive coordinator Brian Scottenheimer and Chargers defensive coordinator Ron Rivera.

back to my point......
"meeting was not substantive".......thats laughable........did they share chicken wing recipes ??.......ralph wilson and russ brandon get on a plane and meet with cowher last week in secrecy, when cowher claims he is NOT talking to ANYONE before the season ends is substantial.
"meeting not substantive" is code for "we did everything but talk/agree about money". you can bet they talkled about Nix's role and how that would effect Cowhers control/influence over personnel decisions, they reassured him on a succession plan in the event ralph passes, they probably mentioned all the CAP space we will have, told him he has total say over assistant coaches, the bills made it clear he is wanted, cowher made it clear he is "impressed and interested".
today Perry Fewell gets to make his case to Nix, why the "interim" tag should become head coach. The bills are clearly looking past fewell.

The NFL has not yet announced the order. ESPN Stats & Information released projected order for the top 12 picks, based on record and opponents' strength of schedule. That information appears in the chart.
The Rams hold the first overall choice. The Seahawks hold the sixth choice and the Broncos' first-round pick, expected to be around No. 14. The 49ers appear to hold the 13th choice, plus Carolina's first-round choice, expected to be a few picks later.
according to ESPN, we lost ONE draft spot (to the raiders) :
2010 NFL Draft order
Pick Team Record Opp. strength of schedule
1 Rams 1-15 .520
2 Lions 2-14 .523
3 Bucs 3-13 .555
4 Redskins 4-12 .492
5 Chiefs 4-12 .516
6 Seahawks 5-11 .477
7 Browns 5-11 .512
8 Raiders 5-11 .527
9 Bills 6-10 .516
10 Jaguars or Bears 7-9 .496
11 Jaguars or Bears 7-9 .496
12 Dolphins 7-9 .559

i'm not for or against any of these.....but a couple of ideas floating around that do not involve draft pick incentives or financial penalties are:
#1- SCHEDULING.....the league could go heavy with "division" games in last two weeks of season, thereby theorectically making them more important.
#2- SEEDING.....a committee, like NCAA basketball, could "seed" teams. Where in this current season a team like San Diego might get the #1 seed based on the fact they have won their last 11 games and Indy who is coming in on two losses would not.
as it currently stands, Indy had no incentive to win or lose in the last two weeks, because it had no effect on them keeping home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

nfl.com, same thing.....
nfl.com and ESPN are NOT the same thing.
