WSCR-AM 670 reports: The Bears have reached out to an intermediary for former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher to gauge whether he would have any interest in coming to Chicago should the team decide to fire Lovie Smith, according to Hub Arkush, publisher of Pro Football Weekly and an analyst for the radio station

The Bears have denied a previous report by Arkush that someone in the organization above general manager Jerry Angelo was making inquiries regarding possible changes in the team's leadership.

"The Bears deny this report but my sources, who are impeccable, insist that it's true: They have reached out to an intermediary for Bill Cowher to try to find out what it would take to get him, if he would be interested, what he would want in terms of staff, money, etc.," Arkush reported on the station Sunday.

Discuss. :ihih:

No way Cowher takes that job.

Why not?

And how classless by the Bears...if it's true.

Not a fan of it either, but in today's NFL and with as many teams as there will be pursuing the top talent at HC, it doesn't surprise me seeing teams trying to get pieces in place

This is what happens when a team plays like crap, they contact an intermediary for Cowher.

What's the big surprise?

Not so much a surprise as a low class move.

Yeah, they are having a bad year, but I think Smith deserves better than this.

You know the reporters are going to be all over him with questions.

I'm sure Cowher will likely be with us than the Bears. No way will he want to be further away from home with going to Chicago than Charlotte. And hearing the Bears might get rid of Lovie already soon kinda sound like an opposite way with Denver's situation with Cutler. Deja Vu! :P

Location mainly.

I really do think that he has his eyes set on the Panthers...though I am not really excited to say so.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
