Saw one of my buddies who I lived with in college last night and talked to him about Cowher.

He said that we'd likely be really disappointed with him. He mentioned that while he is always shown in pictures with those intense looks and poo, he is actually pretty mellow and he thought that he would be even more mellow now that he has been out of football for a couple of years.

He talked about how Cowher wasn't really even that good of a coach, took him 16 years to win a Super Bowl in Pittsburgh. Apparently Cowher didn't even want to draft Roethlisberger but wanted Shawn Andrews instead. He is a believer in the philosophy that you do not need a star quarterback to win games (sound familiar?).

Overall, said he was definitely not nearly as good of a coach as he is hyped up to be.

interesting. not sure that would be welcome around here.

funny that while they were consistently good and in the playoffs they didn't really become serious contenders until they got big ben. if it is true that cowher didn't want him then he wouldn't have had a ring right now had cowher had his way.

go ahead and bring on one of the young guys. no retreads, please.

Maybe Cowher is a big believer you need a star quarterback now. Considering he needed one.

Too bad Roethlisberger was far from a star at that time. He has since proven himself but he was horrid in the super bowl. He was 9 of 21 for 123 yards, 0 TD 2 INT, I think had the worst QB in super bowl history.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
