Report: Cowher meeting with Bills again today

Posted by Mike Florio on January 5, 2010 9:54 AM ET

At a time when there's an emerging sense that former Steelers coach Bill Cowher will remain on the sidelines for at least another year, multiple readers have brought to our attention a report from an obscure web site headquartered in the town of East Aurora, New York.

Per Joe Logan of EastAurora.org (which hopefully has the hamster power to withstand the coming crush of web traffic), Cowher will be in Buffalo on Tuesday for a face-to-face meeting with the Bills.

Giving the report more credibility is that the item, posted on January 4 at 6:35 a.m. ET, stated that the Bills would be firing the entire coaching staff on Monday. If there has been no time-stamp sleight-of-hand, Logan was the first to report that the coaches would be getting shown the door.

Logan also reports that Cowher is expected to make a decision on his coaching future by the end of the week, and that the Bills and the Panthers are the current contenders for Cowher's services.

Anybody think it is hilarious we get this announcement this morning as well

A caller to this morning's Mac Attack stated that that the NFL Network is reporting that John Fox's agent has stated that "Fox will not be back without an extension".

:lol:

I love it! Come Home Cowher! Carolina is where you belong! Please bring 11 winning seasons out of 15 to our team, our city, and especially our fan base so we too can know what good football is!

Fox is staying here and Cowher will (surprisingly IMO) coach the Bills.

[Kurb]

I don't see the appeal of the bills Job.

The fanbase is waning.

It's fuging cold.

The owner is a tightwad (has been in the past)

The team is in a mess.

Its in Buffalo, only thing they have is wings.

[PntherPryd]

IMHO, Cowher would suck with Buffalo

[Kettle]

no one in their right mind would go to buffalo for even the most brief amount of time

Bill Cowher not in Buffalo today. He was, according to source, "walking his dog" this morning. Cowher still unlikely to coach in 2010.

[jpniner]

He walks into Carolina job and odds are we are good(with or without him) next season, makes him look like a genius.

He takes Buffalo job, and odds are they still suck next season.

plus its cold and he lives in Raleigh: He really wants to the Carolina job IMO.

Would he keep Meeks though?

Per Adam Schefter's twitter a few minutes ago:

Cowher isn't coaching the Bills lol. He's one of the most sought-after coaches in the league, and would not go to a team that needs that much work.

I don't think it's a coincidence that he was saying he'd be back, and right when Jerry said Fox can come back he retracts his statements and says he doesn't want to coach in 2010.

He wants a team that can compete immediately, and Panthers are the closest to HIS steelers team as you can get. Big powerful offensive line, excellent run game, awesome defense..

[Jon Snow]

Just another speculation.

"And what of Bill Cowher? Reports started swirling Monday that the ex-Steelers head coach may not love any of the limited opportunities on this year's carousel, prompting him to remain in TV for another season and try to return to the game in 2011. Cowher's top two choices of Carolina and Tampa Bay appear to be standing pat. But a vacancy in Dallas could certainly prompt Cowher to throw his Stetson in the ring."

I don't want a 3-4 defense.
