loyal2dagame Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Would you have enough patience to wait 14 years for him to win a championship? as long as we could have a legit chance to be competative and make the playoffs every season, i'd wait 14 years, it's already been 10 since the last time we sniffed the post season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofton80 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Wow, great reasoning. We should never hire anyone It took Belechek and Jimmy Johnson a few years too, cross them off the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowher made the playoffs in his first two years and made the AFC Championship in his third. Yeah, I'd take that in a heartbeat.

Rico Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Cowher + 1 fluke year = Dungy + 1 fluke year = Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunis69 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Cowher's record as a head coach is 149-90-1 (161-99-1 including playoff games). so yes, i'd take him as my coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Would you have enough patience to wait 14 years for him to win a championship? How many years did he miss the playoffs? This team needs leadership and currently is not getting it from the Head Coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poeticlaw Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Would you have enough patience to wait 14 years for him to win a championship? Winning a championship is great dont get me wrong but having consistent chances to play in and win a chmapionship gives us confidence in our teams abilty. The pats arent winning it ever year but they are consistent enough to get their chances to win one every year even in a year their MVP star player went down they were still good enough record wise just not good enough in the tie breakers. It sucked losing 4 championships in a row but boy did he feel good getting there each year!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 You can't win without talent, and didn't Cowher have some super GM leading the draft!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Cowher + 1 fluke year = Dungy + 1 fluke year = Marty Can't argue with that, but in comparison to Jauron + 1 fluke year = Stephenson + 0 fluke year = Bullough + 0 fluke year = Greggo + 0 fluke year = Rauch + 0 fluke year = Johnson (x2) + 0 fluke year = Ringo + 0 fluke year .... I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Right now I'd be happy with a fluke year in Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Syracuse Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Cowher made it to the Superbowl with QB's like Bubby Brister and Neal Freaking O'Donnell. Despite having QB's that didn't belong in the NFL he consistently made it to the playoffs. Yeah, I'd take him in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erynthered Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Not that this would likely happen, but enticing Cower to come to the Bills with a piece of the team. A percentage of ownership. 2%? 3%? Hell RW will be dead soon , and Cower could cash in pretty well. Could work, no? (Wakes up from dreaming) What? Wha'd I say?

Simon Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Would you have enough patience to wait 14 years for him to win a championship? Has anybody ever mentioned that he had the best talent in the NFL for the majority of his career but was still below .500 in the postseason until Dick LeBeau came back and won him a Super Bowl? Or posited that if he greatly underachieved with that incredible talent in P'burgh what makes anybody think that he'd do any better here with far lesser talent? They have? But they were simply ignored by a desperate fan base in complete denial? Stunning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite having QB's that didn't belong in the NFL he consistently made it to the playoffs. Yeah, I'd take him in a heartbeat. Actually, his qbs that year were Neil O'Donnell, Kordell Stewart and Mike Tomczak....they also had the untested rookie quarterback Jim Miller on their roster, yes that very Jim Miller that was the starting quarterback for the 13-3 2001 Chicago Bears coached by none other than Dick Jauron. Wow this is starting to come full circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I just wish people would be realistic. 1. Cowher will cost too much for Ralph 2. Why would Cowher want to go from working for one of the best owners in the NFL - willing to do whatever it takes to put a winner on the field - to a team who's led by an owner that is content with an eternal 8-8 record? Cowher=pipe dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
