Sully is a commentator and does what commentators are supposed to do.

I'm not a fan of Cowher, but to be fair, from what I know of Steeler fans, if they don't win the Super Bowl in a given year, the sky is falling. Talk about high expectations. Then again, I'd much rather watch football with Steeler fans than Pats, Cowboys, or Redskin fans. At least they can name the other 31 clubs and know what division they're in.

hmmm, I feel a Hannah Storm coming on....

Well, like everyone else in the western world, they probably assumed Shanny wanted a say in GM decision-making, either directly or through his hand-picked GM. So, why would Ralph and Russ pick a GM BEFORE talking with Shanny. Given the title he just took with the Redskins, a sort of co-GM with Allen, Ralph and Russ would have been correct in this thinking. Now, the interesting thing is the timing of the Cowher visit and the promotion of Nix. It can be assumed that Cowher may also have wanted final say in GM type decisions. Given that within days after visiting with Cowher, Nix gets promoted, and Cowher has yet to come out and distance himself from the Bills job, the natural deduction is that the Nix promotion may have been floated to Cowher who did not reject the idea. Hmmmm.

Man Walks On Moon!!

I too would prefer the up and comer approach. But I will say this, the one team over the years that consistently wins with the same tried and true approach, stout defense and run first, is the Steelers. So if anyone has a chance to win the big one with two different teams, it would be the guy that brings that proven approach to his new team.

All silly talk. When did Cowher make this 4 team list? How is going to Tampa or Charlotte not a big fish in a little pond? For that matter, how was Pittsburgh, where he spent 14 years, not a big fish in a little pond. Indeed, of all of the cities in play, the only one that would come close to replicating his Pittsburgh experience is Buffalo. For my two cents, but for his wife's desire to stay near her home, Cowher would be interviewing with Buddy and Ralph right now.

Who cares. All Nix has to say is "yes Ralph, I know there is only one name on that list, but that was the only name I knew."

Dellapelle John has a website...

agree. UDFA makes good. Nice story.

spot on.

given all the haters, apparently quite a few...

well, if everyone else is doing it .... Marty as HC; Brian S as OC; and, wait for it ... Wade as DC (he'll be available in a couple of weeks).

not meaning to be too much of a pedant, but don't forget the first to fly the coup (and the only one to come back to father Bill) -- Bob Ferguson.

was a good piece, but his Bruce Allen comment looks a bit silly now...

I think Don Beebe would react favorably to this post. So would Frank Reich. And so would another guy, who I believe has a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks ... although the latter might also advocate going for Clausen, cause you know where he and his father stand when it comes to Notre Dame Football.

ha ha, yeah, I had to read it twice as well. The sad thing is, given our track record, the 5'8" actually fits...

I was not pleased with the Maybin selection and his season certainly pales in comparison to Orakpo. But I think the direct comparisons with Orakpo are a little unfair. Although, at this point, Orakpo may be the better NFL player, had Orakpo gone at 11 and Maybin dropped to 13, you would not see Orakpo getting 11 sacks on our line and would likely have seen Maybin grab at least 5-6 sacks (maybe more) if he was lining up next to Albert Haynesworth, Andre Carter and Cornelius Griffin.

Having attended that game, where we passed the goal posts up to Ralph, I can see why you left as a Bills fan.

thanks ... now wiping up drink spit onto keyboard.

yeah, the road he was talking about didn't have 10 million at the end of it...

now that's the GoBillsInDallas post I remember from back in the day...

I'm not a huge proponent of Tony D, but what? TB under Wyche: 5-11, 5-11, 6-10, 7-9 Dungy comes in and after a 6-10 first year, leads the team to the playoffs 4 of the next 5 seasons, with an appearance in the NFC Championship game in year 4 of his tenure. Tampa was a joke until Dungy arrived. As for the Colts situation, it's true that having Manning helped, just like having Jimbo helped Marv. Yep, Tony and Marv, both hired by Bill Polian ... hmmm.
