Bill Cowher will not be our coach. Nor should he be. The game is a lot different than it was when he coached.

Yes, in 2006 they wore leather helmets and the forward pass had not been invented yet.

Plus, he probably hasn't watched a game or talked to anybody in football since his departure way back in those ancient times.

A "hunch" from a guy with ties to the Steelers (and probably none to the Panthers)...Oy :rolleyes:

From the way he words it, doesn't even sound like Florio takes it all that seriously.

Now, if we had inquired about Omar Khan, I might find this plausible. But to date, we haven't.

And I'll add that this paragraph...

And with Panthers owner Jerry Richardson openly hoping to emulate the Rooneys, what better way than to hire Bill Cowher?

...is totally off base. If Richardson actually wants "to emulate Rooney" then he wouldn't even give Cowher a look. Rooney never hired retreads. The only guys he ever hired were defensive coordinators (kinda like we do).

I am pretty Meh on Chower bc he has been removed from the game a bit..possibly losing the driving fire he once had.

Howeva! Hiring Grimm and Whisenhunt on the staff just sent it over the top...fug Norv Turner. Rivera stays as assistant head coach WHAT we all win...Chip Kelly as Rbs coach! Holgram Bill Walsh to work with the WRS!!!

It's pure speculation, but I'd love to see it happen.

I'm not saying Cowher is the end-all-be-all of HC candidates, but he has extensive experience as a HC and he's been to the top of the mountain as a HC and that's what this team needs most right now.

He could also assemble a pretty impressive staff on a moments notice... that's a big advantage over a first-time HC who has to scramble to put together a staff and then weed out the non-hackers.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
