Ridiculous question that everyone knows the answer to. Mine was substantive and legit.

Cowher is a better coach, and trying to ascribe the KC connection as the only reason why people believe this isn't fair or accurate.

I think players around the league respect Cowher, and I think he could attract some good Free Agents and assistant coaches.

I wouldn't be opposed to having Cowher, although I'd like to see something fresh with new school ideas like Chip Kelly. This is a new era of Football and X's and O's... this isn't the 80's and 90's style of Defense/running game football anymore.

You honestly think Brian Billick didn't realize he needed a QB?

That team wins multiple championships if they have any semblance of a legit QB.

Again, who was he supposed to draft?

Chad Pennington?

Patrick Ramsey?

Rex Grossman?


Sure, after 13 years, Cowher realized he needed a QB - and what do you know, he was drafting 11th in a great QB class.

How fortunate.

He was a head coach THREE TIMES as long.

It's because he lucked his way into the 11th overall pick.

Because Flacco is probably the best QB the Ravens have ever had since they've moved to Baltimore?

Produced what?

The same championship Billick produced, but given 7 more years and a HOF QB.

Whuh?

He's run the same system every year he's been in Philly. He's drafted players to fit the scheme, not vice versa.

He likes his mobile, rollout QBs with a verticle passing game. He likes his jitterbug runningbacks that catch out of the backfield. Andy Reid has a system and he's going to draft players to fit it.

I honestly don't have a huge issue with that, but it is what it is. He's going to get a nice offense installed wherever...provided that he's able to get his head into the game.

I just worry where his mind is going to be right now. I really think he (and his employer, this year or the next) would be better served by him stepping away from the game for a year and getting his mind right. The last few years have to have been brutal on him personally and that's a recipe for coach burnout if ever there was.

silly

A head coach doesnt decide to win with defense when they spend that many assets on offense.

I was agreeing with you...I should have made that clear.

My apologies.

I was rolling my eyes on those that are shitting on Cowher and pimping Billick.

TBH Id rather have Jon Gruden over a guy like Billick.

Not a big fan of either.

If we get Reid, I think Reid will be onboard with drafting Geno, and that is a good thing.

90s NFL was a different league, and Cowher showed the ability, even late in his run, to adapt to the changing league.

Billick adapts to being a "defensive coach," yet Cowher is criticized for sustained success? Billick, who was fired, just didn't get as many opportunities? More like didn't earn enough opportunities.

Oh God damn...

Now we are saying Billick didn't have a chance at a franchise qb?

Trade up. You have bitched for years that we haven't. Only the last two have been cost controlled.

Double standards

The Steelers have been to three Super Bowls since Cowher left. :hmmm:

He's done a good job realizing that in recent years. Westbrook and McCoy are far from the days of Correll Buckhalter

Flaaco was pretty bad his first few years. Pssh its because harbaugh is a better coach. Billick is a mediocre coach. You havent seen teams tearing down doors to get him for a reason.
