Shanahan or Cowher?

Cowher.

- He's historically known for solid special teams.

- 6 straight playoff appearances in the 90s, followed by back-to-back playoff appearances twice in the 00s (constancy is obviously not going to come from Fox)

- He LOVES the power running game (run in general)

- Players LOVE him, players would want to come to Carolina to play for him...as much as some don't agree, Bill Cowher is a legend.

He's very passionate about North Carolina (hell he was rooting for the 'Canes over the Pens in the Eastern Conference Finals)

Rivera, Ryan, Frazier, Grimm...

The only names I'm interested in.

:iagree:

i like cowher but is ego is bigger than Charlotte, and hell want more money and more power (coach/gm) than Richardson will want to give him

shanahan never did much after elway. not saying hes a bad coach but im not a big fan of his

I would say Cowher is the most logical choice, and it's almost blatant he wants to coach again and not too far from his house (Raleigh). I'm still not sold that he will be as effective as everyone speculates.

I really don't understand why so many people want Gruden. I like Gruden a lot, he's personality fits everything that's football. But what did he show in his last couple of seasons with the Buc's? He showed a lot of what we are seeing from Fox this year. No ability to inspire and unwilling to change.

Yeah I agree completely. Cowher and Shanahan are great coaches, but they are both going to want complete control which is probably not going to work.

Go with Grimm he comes from a good tree and likes the run.

    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it. 
    • Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.
