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.

      panthers offense 30 of 32 in yards per play

      I don't think we have been good yet. We were generally effective yesterday when we got scoring opportunities but struggled to move the ball under a heavy blitz and new receivers who he is still trying to develop better chemistry with and a makeshift line. And last week the comeback was impressive until it fizzled out. But week one we were bad and we have way too many penalties and picks and the occasional WTF play. We were better yesterday and the offense had no turnovers although special teams did. We are a work in progress as any panther fan would expect. I think we have the most rookies on our roster compared to any other team. No one thinks we are all that amazing or thar Bryce is the answer for sure. But we aren't the worse either and this constant negative narrative really is ridiculous and drowns out everyone else. I doubt I will be here much especially if we lose. The conversation is so negative and constant I don't even check in until Wednesday. But I will be here like always since 2004. Just not engaging in conversations with folks who just want to bitch and complain over and over with anything they can find as if that makes things better or they are saying something we all don't feel at times. Most of us realize this is year 2 of a rebuild and there are ups and downs. You have to be comfortable on the roller coaster. But anytime you point out the good you get inundated with negative crap as if we didn't see it too......

      🤣 Nick is the bed sore on the backside of our defense! If we are going youth movement like Canales says, he should be relegated to back up special teams coverage.
