Is Anyone Concerned About Cowher.....

anyone worrying over a coach we don't have should find new hobbies.

Certainly, anyone thinking that buying a former Super Bowl winning coach guarantees anything should seriously reconsider that.

And for the record, Seifert inherited an offense. Nothing more. It was his defense. Then won a 2nd championship. And never went 8-8 there. By some of your expectations, he was a better choice than Cowher is now. No one knows what Cowher would actually do here, so it's hard to suggest that it matters three games into a season he's not coaching.

No, big difference. Bill Cowher built his team that won the super bowl. Siefert won with Walshs team that was loaded with super bowl talent when he took over.

16 years. It took 16 years for Cowher to win a Super Bowl.

I think that the people hoping for Cowher to come here are expecting instant wins when/if he does, and that is just stupid.

I have said it before. If your only reason for not wanting Cowher is because it took him 15 years to win the SB. It took Tom Landry 12 years to win one. If Jerry Jones hadn't paid off O'Donnell to throw two wide open interceptions, Cowher would have won one in his 6th season. Just admit you don't like Cowher and that is the reason you don't want him here. Personally I don't care, I would rather have a new coach over a retread.

How many has John Fox won? You think he'll win one in less than 14 years? You people act like super bowl winning coaches grow on trees.

Well, the bright side, we have a DE that we gave up a #1 draft pick for that seems to me to be far better suited as a stand-up LB in the 3-4.

To be quite honest, I'm more worried about Fox. Hopefully, he'll figure out a way to win a few games so that we don't help build the 49ers house for the next several years.

Cowher won't become Seifert 2 because he won't coach here. Still, if you like the idea, here are the stats of the two coaches before Carolina.

Seifert: 98-30 (.766) with two superbowl wins in 8 seasons in SF. Overall playoff record: 10-5 (made playoffs 7 times in 8 seasons)

Cowher: 149-90-1 (.623) with one superbowl win in 15 seasons in Pittsburgh. Overall playoff record: 12-9 (made playoffs 10 times in 15 seasons)

You may now proceed to make excuses for Cowher, I know some of you are dieing to.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
