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.

      Official Week 3: Panthers vs. Falcons Gameday Thread

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Decided last minute to to take family to game.  Cheap tickets sec 134 (which is kindof sad in of itself) made the 10 hour roundtrip and glad as hell I did.   - Defense played out of their mind.  Mike Jack smithwade looking at you -Penix is fuging terrible, not worried about him at all - Falcons, wtf were you doing, running when you should be passing and vice versa.  Why the fug didnt you run the ball on us?  - Canales, I get you are green but damn man tighten up your time management  - We won so not going to bag on Bryce too much but yeah man to argue he isnt limited is lol funny - We finally have a kicker and that feels kindof good all things considered - someone earlier mentioned tepper and we didnt see him in the box the entire game, not sure what thats about -Chubba, Sanders and Tet took some absolute monster shots and popped back up, not sure how they do it because it sounds horrific.  Chubba took one right in front of us and he got up laughing.  wow

      We won, but Bryce and Canalas still blow

      By Icege · Posted

      Yesterday was also the first time we saw all three phases of this team play complimentary football during not just Canales' tenure but Young's as well. While he didn't have to light it up through the air, he did spread the ball around to nine different players. TMac's drops hurt, but the team was able to rally still thanks to the defense finally getting to play with a lead. Plus, TMac still had his positive moments like the catch and run as well as the poster-shot he created by climbing the ladder. I hope that this lit a fire under XL. With Tremayne's emergence and Coker coming back from IR in the next 1 - 3 weeks there is going to be less patience with his issues. Let's not forget though the most important thing to watch for: how XL responds to the adversity. Nobody is going to have a perfect career, but how they handle the down lows will be what gives them a chance to get back to experiencing the highs again.
