Some Steeler Fans Think Bill Cowher Wants To Coach The Panthers

I was lurking on the Steelers forum and ran across a thread from a fan who was complaining that Cowher was rooting for the 'Canes instead of the Penguins in the Stanly Cup Playoffs. A lot of them didn't care, because they realize he lives in NC now. But a few of them think he's anxiously awaiting John Fox's departure so he can take the job as head coach. Forgive me if this has been discussed before. But do you think there's any validity to that?

I actually believe that to be true. I've been saying the very same thing since he left the Steelers. It's a logical fit. I don't know what kind of money we would offer him, but I have to believe that Snyder in Washington and Jones in Dallas will make a play for him if they decide to make a change on their teams, and whether we can compete with them remains to be seen. But Cowher does live in NC, and went to NC State, and his daughters are attending school in NC as well (I think). I think he's a quite logical candidate to look at if he's available and we stumble. Fox has had a much longer tenure than most coaches, and if we have to rebuild any time soon, a new head coach may be part of that. I like the prospect of Cowher in the 'tude he will bring here.

If he's ever hired!

Based on stats, why would anyone not want Cowher, not to mention that no one could question the toughness of his teams. I doubt any team ever says, Dear Lord, we are playing the Panthers and that defense will just hurt us.

Not that any of this matters.

vs. Fox

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/FoxxJo0.htm

Cowher's record

Overall: 149 - 90

Playoffs: 12 - 9

15 yrs game 240 wins 149 losses 90 tie 1 % .623

Fox is barely at .500. 7 yrs 112 games, 63 wins 49 losses

The reason that I would want Cowher over Fox is he seemed to be capable of putting back to back wins together. Fox has yet to have two consecutive winning seasons. The competition is quite stiff this year. Let's see how he does. That was one embarrasing loss at the end of the year, to a team they had two weeks to prepare for. Its not the first time either they have embarrassed themselves on National TV. We'll see.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
