i dont believe it, did shefter say his sources or was he just speculating?
So Child, after spamming another thread 10 times with the same line "Cowher to Bills on tues.....", it appears your certainty that Cowher would be announced as the Bills coach on Tuesday, is not so certain
http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...t&p=1691192
And oh, show me 5 instances in the past where Schefter (not, shefter) cite his sources. Child.

Whitner, Lynch etal were Marv Levy failures.
You left one of Marv Levy's failures out

Either way, if I'm GM I would not cut him. He's good enough to keep and then let the coach decide who starts. You do need backups, you know.
Depth, yes, we need depth
We've lacked depth in recent years once these IR lists baloon

Whine about Marshawn not getting enough touches today to see what he offers for next year

At the same time, thank you for taking that crappy cover 2 scheme with you on the way out. It is going to really hard in the AFC East to not stop the Run and win. We have been horrible in stopping the run and the injuries have nothing to do with it. The schemes repeatedly put the LBs out of position to stop plays from going for long gains.
And thank you for giving undersized linebackers like Keith Ellison who would be backup players on other teams the opportunity to be a full-time starter right here in Buffalo
Equal opportunity employment for undersized linebackers
Way to Go Perry!! Keith Ellison thanks you!

I'm sure Holmgren already has a coach in mind - and it is likely not Cowher.
Well, Holmgren's former QB coach will be fired by as the Redskins head coach today and tomorrow
You want Jimmy back, Mike?
-
I doubt Cowher would want to be working for Holmgren.
Agreed
-
Me too. And if by some miracles of miracles they land Cowher, I would feel very good about the possibility that there is some kind of "succession plan" in place to keep the Bills in Buffalo. I don't think that Cowher would sign on to be the coach of a team that he thought stood a chance of moving as soon as the 91 year old owner passes from the scene. (Either that or Cowher is convinced that after Ralph is gone the Bills will relocate to Carolina to be closer to Cowher's wife and daughter.)
My theory -- THEORY --- pure fantasy speculation -- based on no facts, no source -- that if a deal was to get done with Cowher is that Cowher would get some % ownership stake in the team (2-3%).
Under this method,
-Ralph/Littmann could potentially limit Cowher's cash compensation to below 8 digits (i.e., below the $10M+ figure that was thrown around in the media regarding Shanahan)
-induces Cowher to think about the long-term value of the team
-gives Cowher significant upside by participating financially from the auction price after Ralph's death
-if the new owner moves the Bills to Los Angeles or another market that increases franchise value further, Cowher shares in the franshise value's appreciation.

It's about winning
It's not about losing to get a slightly higher 1st round draft choice
It's about entertainment for the fans
It's about playing hard for your fans, regardless of who the other team is playing
The Bills gave us all of that today
And thank you TO for running around the stadium to high five and thank the fans. Your production may have not met expecations but you were far more of a gentleman than many in the national media expected you to be

Denver's down by 10. Chokin da mile high chicken.
So, all of Belichek's disciples
Crennel ... fired
McDaniels ... child coach with 2-7 record after the rest of the league figured out his schtick after the 6-0 start
Mangini ... on the hot seat, but may get a reprieve after the win streak
-
exactly my point, vic is speculating, hes a guy who wanted to keep jaroun..... go figure...
If you are going to be serially spamming the thread over and over with the same points, at least take the time to get your spelling right
It's Jauron, not jaroun
-
Totally disagree, Vic has excellent insight, especially with what goes on with Buffalo.
I am afraid that what is really going at OBD will be more of the same ... a hasty decision that lacks due dilligence.
Hope I'm wrong.
I'd love Cowher as the coach of the Bills. (some other TBD users may too while others may have their own preferences for coach)
Will he have another agreement with Bills brass (Brandon, Nix, Littmann et. al. ?) ? Who knows
If it happens and he signs, I'll be pumped as hell
It's great to have a bit of something in our hands, which is what Carucci did today after Mortensen's "report" this morning. But obviously, it's just that -- "something".
This week will hopefully bring news that's more definitive. A coach we can all rally around and make this decade, the Bills decade
-
vic is all speculation, he is just trying to report something, cowher to bills on tues!!!!!!!!!!
Child....
Carucci spent the day at the Ralph and actually spoke with contacts in the Bills organization.
It's called reporting.
Speculating nonsense is your schtick
-
John posts just to post. He pretty much lives in his mom's basement and has no life. I mean dude, if you're right more power to you, but you constantly post stuff on ever topic so naturally you're going to be right about something at some point, but that method makes you a douche... who lives in his mother's basement. So when you stop doing that, I'll leave the personal insults out of it and everyone else might take you seriously.
It just seems like this is DELLAPELLE JOHN 's schtick.
It's hard to take the guy seriously when he continues to post and overpost the same statement "cowher to bills on tues....". The serial spamming of the same statements over and over again are DELLAPELLE JOHN's schtick.

WRONG AGAIN, THE STEALTH MEETING WAS THE 3RD TIME. once after they met with shanahan, 2nd 3 weeks ago, and then the stealth meeting..........
get over it, cowher is coming to buffalo on tues....
Child....
You're wrong
3 meetings with Cowher???
How far up Sal's behind are you?
-
wrong, coach sal said cowher met with bills 2 weeks ago and was very impressed, then mortensen said they had another meeting this week and that cowher is interested. vic is speculating that cowher isnt interested. he is wrong, cowher to bills on tues.....
Coach Sal ... hilarious
"then mortensen" .... "another meeting"
Mortensen never reported that. He reported on one meeting
These were not mutually exclusive meetings. They were one and the same
-
all speculation, they wouldnt meet with cowher 2-3 times and then on the 3rd time say how u doing..... cowher to bills on tues
Cite your sources for 2-3 meetings with Cowher
Where was that reported?
Don't throw out numbers when you can't back them up factually.
People like you get away with peddling such nonsense on these blogs
-
Vic doesn't ever seem to have the greatest info and I have never listened to what he said too much. Lets wait til tomorrow and Tuesday and we will see what's really going on around OBD.
He broke the news that the Bills were in discussions with Shanahan, the story that was later picked up by the national media.
Can you provide instances where he "doesn't ever seem to have the greatest info" ?
-
Carucci sniffed around the Ralph today at the game and followed-up on the media reports about Bills, Cowher, etc.
Carucci reported on 97 Rock that:
-Fewell gets interview on Monday
-Meeting with Cowher was "hey how ya doing" conversation. Not a meeting of huge substance. At least nothing on par with the 7 hour conversation with Shanahan.
-Cowher up to this point still hasn't viewed Buffalo as the perfect, right situation.
-Cowher is still quietly keeping his eyes on the Carolina situation. And would be happy to return to CBS
-No Weiss. No Marty Schot-ball.
-Billick will NOT get an interview in Buffalo
-Carucci is unsure about Fassell, Haslett but senses they are not high on list. Bills don't seem to be pressing for them.
-Grimm, Harbaugh, Rivera could be in mix, but nothing definitive
-
Just heard here on the radio in Philly that Schefter reported that the Texans have informed Kubiak that he will be back for another year.
Thanks for that.
Let's move on now from Houston as a landing spot for Cowher.
-
Interesting fact, the last time the Bills beat the Colts: Date - 1/2/2000, Final score - 31-6. Exactly 10 years and 1 day ago and the same total number of points (we had one less, they had one more). Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone who was interested.
Great trivia
Nice work

Tampa's owner met with their HC and told him they he and the rest of the staff will be back next year.
As of right now, Buffalo is the only opening for Cowher. I am thinking that it could happen. I don't want to get my hopes up, but some positive signs are happening:
1.) All other valid options seem to have dried up or not materialized (Carolina, Washington, Chicago, Tampa)
2.) Cowher and Bills have met twice
3.) Cowher contacting potential staff members this week (after second meeting with Bills, coincidence?)
4.) Bills named Nix GM. Clearly, Nix is top a top flight GM. This would leave plenty of power on player decisions and such for Cowher.
As a lifelong Bills fan, I have become accustomed to setting myself up for disappointment. But, I cannot help it. I really think there is a good change Cowher could be the Bills next HC.
I really hope it happens.
Dallas is out as well as Wade Phillips will probably return
Cable could get the boot as well, but Cowher would never work for Al Davis
Would he work for Jerry Jones though, if Phillips didn't return. Would he be able to deal with Jones active involvement in personnel decisions.
Buffalo could be a good landing spot, if he gets an equity stake upon the auction of the team after Ralph's death.

Bull ****. Fewell should be on a rail out of town.
Fewell is complicit in the indictment of the Dick Mauron era
4 losing seasons

The Bills have already scheduled Billick and Rivera for next week. With Cowher in the mix it seems that they maybe going about things correctly. I see many fans and bloggers have a low self esteem of Buffalo. Buffalo is one of the few cities where you can a true international flavor. I see Buffalo as the ideal choice for a Cowher or any other coach. Ralph has spent money in the past he just hasn't had the good advice to direct him where to spend. Thats because he not hands on. This would be a perfect scenario for Cowher or any coach seeking to have more personnel say so. I done a lot of work in Tampa and it is not a big sports town but the weather is great. They don't sell out when their team is average. Buffalo is a sports crazy town with lousy weather (in the winter). Let see if the old boys can pull it off.
Wrong
I've been to 5 Tampa Bay Bucs games over the last 5 years. They're fans are diehard. They're knowledgeable. They're great football fans.
And without Time Warner today, did we sell out the Ralph today?
Per Mort & Schefter Cowher back to CBS

It's difficult to be reasonable with DELLAPELLE JOHN when he continually screams "cowher to bills on tues" over and over and over again
It's his fantasy, and any reports on ESPN or any other source won't sway him from his party line and certainty that Cowher will be announced as the Bills head coach on Tuesday
