Hidden incentive for Bill Cowher in Carolina?

Recommended Posts

for the record, I would prefer a proven OC that could spark the offense, But I have come up with a hidden incentive for Cowher here in Carolina for 2010. We play the Steelers. And trust, if he were to come, the game would be prime time (our ONLY prime time). Im sure he doesn't have any beef with them, but Coaches and players always love to play their former teams. Add in the NC factor that everyone knows about.

If Cowher is our coach next year we will be in just as bad place if Fox was here. I mean it took him 10 years with the best DC in the game and one of the better OCs to win a SB. It only took Tomlin 2 years.....

In his defense, Tomlin won with the same team Cowher did. but i digress. Like I said, Id prefer a proven Offensive- minded coach.

yes, we are bringing cowher in so he can play his former team, unlike any other coaching prospects, who would not be allowed to play their former teams. good call

If you would have read the whole thing, I said "add in the NC factor". I know that there are several coaches who could play their former teams, but i also included that he could do it from close to home.

If Cowher come here, I want few things from him. Keep the defense where they are with how they are starting to play better, do not be both GM & Coach at the same time. And keep Meeks as DC. As for the OC, either keep Davidson (I'm blaming Fox for somewhat holding him back with how Henning look like a genius with the Dolphins) or get a good OC. That is all.

    • Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
    • When it comes to evaluating talent, the equation is actually pretty simple. If you're elite in both the measurable traits (size, speed, strength) and the mental side (IQ, instincts), you're looking at a Hall of Fame trajectory—assuming injuries don't derail you. If you're elite in one area but just decent in the other, you can still carve out a Pro Bowl career. Decent in both? That's your typical NFL starter. But here's where it gets tricky—and where a lot of athletes, especially the ones who dominate practices, find their ceiling. If you're not a starter and you don't excel on special teams, you won't last in this league. The roster math is unforgiving. That "what if" game has been playing out in Carolina for a while now, especially at wide receiver. You've got guys who light it up in practice—everything looks smooth, natural, effortless. But when the lights come on and the defense throws a look they haven't seen on tape, the processing slows down. The game speeds up. And when they have to think instead of just react, they crumble. That's the danger. Put a player like that on the field—any position, really—and expect him to process on the fly, and you're setting him up to fail. Now factor in that he was a top-10 pick, not some late-round flier or UDFA. A franchise invested everything in him. They moved pieces around, changed coaching, changed systems—tried everything to help him succeed. But here's the reality check: if he's out there, remember that the guys lining up across from him are also getting paid millions. And their job is to find that weakness and exploit it every single snap.
    • I think he'd make a good QB spy role in those mobile QB games, like Chicago. Just send him at Caleb every play.
