RoadFan Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Interesting fact. But as I have stated before... the coaches in the booth are highly unlikely to get back on the sideline. They make good money where they are and have 1/10th the stress. Why would they go back to?; The weight of a city on your shoulders. Working 18 hour days, 7 days a week in season. Merciless criticism for every move you make that doesn't work out. No time for family and hobby. It puts their health at risk. A handful of coaches have had serious health problems in recent years. We watched Todd Bowles age 10 years last season in 4 months. In fact, Cowher would have to be crazy to return to that. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 All I know is that in the one super bowl year all they did all game was show cowhers wife through the whole DAMN playoffs.

RutgersJetFan Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 We've been over this. Woody passed on Cowher for Tannenbaum. I don't think he's big on the whole one iconic guy having control over the franchise-type thing. It's why we lost Belichick originally too.

Reynolds1029 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Seriously... why would we want someone who hasen't coached in over a decade? The game has changed waaay to much.

He's not coming here but I think he'd be successful if he came back, he hasn't been hiding out growing a terrorist beard like David Letterman, he's connected to the game as a broadcaster. Remember when people said the same thing about Dick Vermeil? Interestingly enough Vermeil was 61 when he came back to the NFL in 1997 w/ the Rams, Cowher will be 61 next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Not the HC after all this time - if he’s even interested in that daily grind anymore - and can’t think of a way he’d be qualified to be the GM. But I’d happily throw around the Johnsons’ money to pay him a gargantuan $8m/year to lure him away from his TV gig and be head of football operations. Could hardly do any worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Sperm’s take on making him head of football operations. We need someone who knows the game, unlike Bowles who only knows shrimp ? and Mac who only seems to know coffee ☕️.

Certainly before he made any decisions with regard to the team. I think we can do better. No one instantly comes to mind, but people overlooked a lot of his failures there because we don't follow all the inner workings of the Steelers. Not like they missed a beat when they moved on and made 35 yr old Tomlin the HC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner was meaningless though, he wanted out of Parcells' shadow. If BP just clued him in that he was going to retire BB would have been our HC but he never let him know and BB was getting impatient. Parcells knew 1999 would be the end, he could have let BB know. Once Woody took over he did all he could top convince BP to come back, it didn't work but he left him in charge of football decisions which gave us Groh then he recommended Bradway a year later.

Plus it's not as though anyone was dying to work for the Dolan clan either. I don't really know what would have happened. That's a lot of years being called "Tuna Helper" and "Lil' Bill" that'd been brewing, and it was still a team Parcells would get credit for putting together. Just like few people give Barry Switzer credit as an NFL HC even after winning a SB two years after JJ was gone. After two more years he was still fired with JJ getting credit for anything he may have accomplished. I can't believe BB - who'd been fired as a HC before - was ignorant to that. Would he have stayed? I don't know. Just because he led people to believe he would have, doesn't mean that he actually would have passed up the opportunity for more money, more security, and full credit for whatever he wins.

I think it was known at that point that Woody would become the owner but either way it was all about Parcells. As much as I appreciate what BP did in turning us around he wound up costing us BB and Peyton and/or Brady. Obviously if he commits to Peyton in '97 he comes out then if he doesn't string BB along he has same staff in place h had in NE and Brady is here and it's our dynasty.

Agree on Peyton; no way he stays in school if Bill Parcells hints to his buddy Archie that he'll take his son #1 overall if he comes out. But Bill was on his 3 year plan and didn't want to break in another rookie QB (let alone one coming out as a junior, which was unusual back then, and basically never happened with success). Would BB have stayed anyway? Maybe. We'll never know. The guy's word isn't worth anything, nor is it worth anything if he signs a contract.
