I guess everyone here is pretty content with the Panthers coaching situation... Brilliant!
ummm...you've already had two threads here bringing up the bill cowher nonsense and there wasn't nearly the support for the chin as you thought and your campaigns wound up as a fail.

no one is content with the coaching situation but most also don't want someone that will just be another version of what we have here already except this one yells and spits instead of chewing gum and clapping.

no retreads. no old school.

No, brilliant would be making a website under the presumption that a NFL franchise owner should listen to popular opinion in making a head coach choice.

Newsflash: The majority of the public are morons.

There's more to this than just trying to bring bill cowher to the panthers...No one care's who comes to coach as long as they can take us down the winning road, thats what matters... but like any planned marketing strategy you have to focus on a specific group and grow from there.

Given Bill Cowhers success and retiring at the right time, plus his appeal to all the steeler fans that live in Charlotte it's the most logical group to focus on at first. He's a great coach and could do a lot for our orginization. Is he the end all be all, probably not but still a good candidate.

There is much more to come from this so please bare with me.

Bring on the hate...

From Wiki

In Cowher’s 15 seasons, the Steelers captured eight division titles, earned ten postseason playoff berths, played in 21 playoff games, advanced to six AFC Championship games and made two Super Bowl appearances. He is one of only six coaches in NFL history to claim at least seven division titles

the bolded below makes me think this is more of an internet marketing experiment and hes trying to see how many hits he can get on his site. doesn't matter if the traffic is positive or not, just as long as the search engines see that people are clicking the link and traffic is going there to get better search engine placement. in essence....he's a spammer.

whatever reasons lie beneath this, it's still a pretty silly thing overall.

if this is part one of a plan to start trying to generate attention to multiple candidates, then thats pretty silly as well. tell an organization that they need to make a coaching change when one was going to happen anyway? :lol:

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
