There is only one Coach that will keep butts in the seats next year

[PantherFanTom]

Yeah, and we are not winning now and it is looking like we might not win a game ths season. The team has been decimated mentally. The fans are pissed and becoming Colts fans or whatever team.

I never said another coach couldn't come in and win. What I am saying is Cowher as coach means those butts never leave to come back later.

I think that's true to a degree. A Super Bowl winning coach will attract more people on Sundays and probably keep them coming for a little longer during a losing season. But I don't know if I would blow money on going to see a 3-10 team play in December regardless of who the coach is. With picking the next head coach I wouldn't think about the name, I would would pick who is most likely to put winning seasons together. Any city will support a winner, except Tampa Bay.

It took Bill Cowher a decade and a half to win a Super Bowl with the fuging Steelers. Please...god, no, we mind as well keep Fox.

Never EVER EVER put Bill Cowher and John Fox in the same sentence like this! I don't know who is the next head coach and at this point I don't care so long as it isn't Fox!

You say it took Cowher a decade and a half to win a Super Bowl? Fair enough. But he still accomplished something 90% of coaches will NEVER do!

To add to that, the man missed the PLAYOFFS 3 or 4 years out of 15 in a much tougher AFC...Fox can't even put together back to back winning seasons more less back to back playoff years!

These two coaches have NOTHING IN COMMON besides neither one has ever had a "great" QB!

Ha ha Butch Davis

Based off of Butch's recruiting, at least he would bring in talent at the skill positions instead of trading picks for guys who MAY be 7th round picks to every other team, if not undrafted all together.

[raleigh-panther]

He also never really had a good QB for most of his tenure.

In today's league if you want to win you need great QB play. Cowher's style is outdated.

You have got to be kidding. :icon_bs:

[Awesomeness!!]

Do you guys REALLY think BIll Cowher will turn this team into a winner, and how fast? A year? 2? 3? It will be Joe Gibbs version 2.0 people. Remember Gibbs with the Skins? He had a few nice years, went to the playoffs, and did nothing.

Cowher never had a great QB because he never developed a great QB. Running the ball and playing defense isn't going to work anymore....THATS WHAT WE DO NOW for heavens sake.

[Awesomeness!!]

I agree, Cowhers style is just as outdated as Fox. Look at the NFL...the teams that are winning have young coaches, or coaches that aren't afraid to throw the damn ball now and then. Cowher is John Fox without the gum.

Cowher is not a good coach

The Steelers have WON 2 of the last 5 Super Bowls. WTF are you talking about?

A 3rd winner the last 5 years? The New York Giants. If you think their defense, pass rush and running game didn't beat the Patriots you ain't paying attention. Yes, The Colts and the Saints also won a SB during this time. Trouble is, there just aren't that many Peyton Mannings or Drew Brees.

[Awesomeness!!]

If we were to give Fox a 6 year extension, and he were to win a Super Bowl, he would be on the same level as Cowher....so, we mind as well keep Fox.

[Kevin Greene]

You just can't fix stupid.

WHAT? Seriously you should just stop now! IF Fox were to have a winning season and make the playoffs EVERY YEAR for the next six years he would still be behind Cowher, again cowher in a tougher conference, so please just stop with this.

Cowher my not be the next head coach but I agree with Jangler. Cowher will put arses in the seats...I will be there 3 or 4 homes games per year regarless of anything as I have been from the start but just think of the Steeler fans that would all the sudden become Steeler / Panther fans. It would be a very smart move on JR's behalf.
