I don't like the idea of combining HC and GM....but..

For the first time, I have this sneaky suspicion that Cowher will be doing both jobs here next season.

I for one, am not a huge fan of his, and this is totally a gut feeling type thing, but I just don't see Hurney/Fox being kept around. In hiring a big 3 coach, you will automatically "charge" the fan base, and get more fans in the seats....at least for one year.

I hope not.

I much rather Fox to stay then Cowher to come here. That shows you how much I dislike him. He gets way too much cred for a job description worse then Foxes. Yea one SB in 10 years is such a good thing when you also have one of the best DCs if not the best in the game. Really he is just Fox with a SB. How many years did he sick with Tommy Maddux?

[Swarly]

I just want a fugin coach who will take advantage of our insane running depth and run the ball more than 20 times a game. Also someone who has the balls to bench a player who is playing badly.

[thefuzz]

Not looking forward to it, but I do feel the tides flowing that way.

[Nytrogen]

Don't quote me on this but I believe Cowher said he wouldn't want to take a GM position. He wants to coach.

Fox would need to be here 10 years or more before I'd ever support Cowher being brought it.

9 division titles

8 years in the playoffs with a 21-12 record

9 seasons with at least 10 wins

11 seasons over .500

Only 3 seasons below .500 and 1 at .500

2 Super Bowls and a Super Bowl win

How is that even remotely close to Fox?

[Mr. Scot]

Name a "total control" guy that's taken a team to the Super Bowl lately.

The model just doesn't work in today's NFL. More to the point, Jerry Richardson is said to strongly dislike the management model of one person having all the keys.

Even if we get Cowher (and I'm not buying that we do, or even should) I don't see him getting full control.

Yeah, over coaching. OP was talking about doing both jobs.

I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, I think Cowher may want to do both & that is a big risk we shouldn't go with. Plus, he may get paid way too much that we may not be able to afford some good players in the Draft or FA.
