Top Coach or Top Free Agent

Cowher underachieved terribly with arguably the best talent in the league.

Why do people think he'd suddenly turn into a good coach here when he was a chronic choke artist with far more talent than the Bills will ever have?

And the only reason DickL ended up back in Pittsburgh is because Billyboy missed the playoffs 4 times in 6 years w/o Coach LeBeau (but with arguably the league's most talented roster) and the Rooney's then forced him to hire Dick LeBeau back.

Of course Dick LeBeau then proceeded to win him a Super Bowl while Bill mugged for the cameras and proclaimed his own greatness as LeBeau worked his ass off to keep Cowher from continuing to make a complete ass of himself on Sundays like he had been for the last 15 years.

The guy is a complete clown and when he comes back for a pile of money he'll likely be exposed for the self-important buffoon that he is. I just pray to god almighty that it's not anywhere near Western New York.

 

 

 

 

 

Then let's go steal Mike Tomlin, who is already 10X the coach Cowher ever was. <_<

 

The same actually goes for Mike Tomlin too....He is riding the co-tail of the best DC in the league right now. His Offense is stinking up the joint and the defense has bailed them out repeatedly.

I was listening to the radio and heard a good idea. For 9 years in a league that is based on parity, we haven't made the playoffs. The players have all changed. The coaches have as well, but there is something to say about the quality of the coaches we have. I know they swept us, but does anyone really think Miami is a good team??? They just out coached us.

 

So my question is would rather spend big bucks on a top coach (Cowher) or get a top free agent (Peppers i believe would be available and fill a major hole). What do you think?

 

I'd take Cowher FTW...And hopefully a lot of em.' <_<

What he said. Does ANYONE remember how badly Cowher's teams choked in the AFC Championship games, let alone numerous other big games throughout his coaching career? Oh, and then there's the small issue of Cowher's decision to keep Kordell Stewart under center when it was PATENTLY obvious the guy had no skills.

 

Now Marty Schottenheimer, OTOH, I think would WANT to coach in Buffalo, and could do a good job with this team. But Cowher? No thanks.

Top free agent for sure. An all star will play despite the weakness off a head coach, see Wade Philips, good players but he is still the son of a Bum.

I think Wade Phillips is an example of the opposite point. The cowboys cant win a playoff game and they have 52 pro bowlers (estimated number)

Am I missing something?

You complain that Cowher's team choked in the playoffs, and that's a reason you do NOT want him?

But then you would state you would like Marty "Chokenheimer", the HC that built a career of choking out in the playoffs?

This team needs an identity/attitude overhaul - from somnambulant to some blue collar!

 

I don't think I've ever had less respect for a Bills team - and like all long time Bills fans I've lived through absoltely horrible teams over the decades - but I think this is the worst I've ever felt. The absolute last straw was all the whining about the weather the last couple weeks by the players - WTF?!?!? I would honestly give my left nut for Cowher - give him the title of GM as well and total control. Maybe he could even lure LeBeau away as DC. Most important - I F'ing guarantee Cowher would at least bring an attitude where the fans could be proud of the toughness and effort of the players on the field - and I F'ing guarantee players wouldn't be bitching about cold weather under his regime - !@#$ing EMBRACE it. GDamn pussies!

 

Don't think I've ever been more jealous of a team than watching the Steelers play this year - toughness and will - THAT's what Buffalo teams should be - that's what Buffalo fans DESERVE - I'm so sick of this sh--.

 

Amen, Sir. I am not upset at this team losing. I'm upset at the way they lose. Sure we beat teams with losing records. Now we're even losing to teams with losing records and we don't seem to care - top to bottom. At least it seems like Brandon is upset. Good. Hopefully that translates to a better plan going ahead.

The reason that everyone is saying that they want Cowher is because he's the opposite of Jauron. He's loud, animated, and is a "take no sh--" kind of guy. He would be an upgrade to what we have now, but I'd rather see Marty in here than Cowher. The price will be lower and he fits our team better.

It's like there is a conspiracy against Donahoe.

Top coach. He could help Brandon find the best free agents after he settles in. You are right on about Tony Sporano, I never heard of the guy other then he coached with Parcells in Dallas. But I really like the job he's doing down there.
