Steelers bracing for Colbert departure

[scpanther22]

But it has been assumed since Cowher left the team that if/when he returns as a coach he'll make a run at a reunion with Colbert. Indeed, on a couple of occasions over the past two years, we've caught wind of rumors that Cowher has placed Colbert and cap-and-contracts guy Omar Khan on stand by, in the event Cowher emerges from semi-retirement

I was hoping this thread would be about Keary Colbert.

This IS going to happen. Then you will see a team that WANTS to win EVERY year.

This guy is an incredible evaluator of talent. AWESOME.

I like Hurney.But if you have a chance to get Colbert..get him

So one more reason to hire cowher.

This was reported earlier, either on ESPN or Fox, forget which.

It also said that if Colbert had to choose between loyality to Cowher or the Rooneys', he might choose the Rooneys.

Tell you what, if Jerry Richardson, wants a superbowl, and he's getting no younger, he could to far far worse than Cowher and Colbert.

It would be an exciting time in Charlotte, and there would be hope.

that would be the most prudent thing to say at the moment. bird in the hand > 2 in the bush or something like that.

i agree, we could do worse. we are doing worse.

that he could come in here with a GM buddy is something i don't have a problem with at all....especially considering the track record they have.

cowher's ability to surround himself with the right people is a huge deal.

Colbert would be an upgrade that's for sure. If Cowher is hired then let's hope for a 2-for-1 special.

if it's about money, why would the owner of the team suddenly bring in a crew that cares about winning, assuming the current regime does not

they'll probably plan on losing every other year just so they can get that easy schedule. superbowl every other year FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol. please don't believe that i'm stupid enough to believe that is the way it works.

If JR wants to be the Steelers...

SIGN COWHER AND COLBERT!!!

Pretty obvious...
