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.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Ok LT and Petersen are a cut above everyone else to me cmc and Faulk are interchangeable on this list.  though Faulk was better career wise

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
