Chiefs Unsubstantiated Rumor: It will be Bill Cowher as Head Coach in 2009 - Page 6

teedubya · 01-19-2009, 06:28 PM

OK gang, as you all know, A friend of mine from high school is good friends with a former player of the Chiefs and Steelers... just talked with him on Facebook and he said that 100% that Cowher will be the coach next year. The assistants have been told to find other employment and they are at the senior bowl with Pioli and he is seeing which assistants/scouts that may be worth keeping.

Cowher loves the new facilities... working with Scott Pioli... the new attitude... & he wants to be able to come to KC and be the hero.

Apparently, Cowher drafted this former player and they remain good friends. And Cowher told him these things... allegedly.

My friend isn't a big bullshitter... but this would seem to be too good to be true.

cowher and pioli have the makings of a very good organization that players would LOVE to play for...

so, I'd say 80% that this happens... flame away if you like... but, I thought I'd share.

We need to have a vote to see how many people believe Ari

A sidenote to watch if this actually is true :

Nick Wright of 610 AM's "What's right with Nick Wright"

stated just the other night that he would "bet his career" and "quit his job" if Cowher was the Chiefs head coach in 2009

because he was "absolutely certain" this was not going to happen.....

Not that I'm a huge Nick Wright fan, but I hope he still has job next week, because Cowher does not need to be a Chief.

But......Cowher would be a HUGE upgrade from Herm, so if that's the only 2 options we're forced with, sign Cowher.

Sounds like a lock, then.

Remember a failed fake punt?

Even the most conservative coaches sometimes do unpredicatable things, but their overall philosophy remains the same.

Control the ball, keep the game close, and rely on your defense to protect a lead in the second half.

That's a recipe for mixed results, at best.

I dont have time to read through the whole thread right now, so forgive me if this has been asked, but cant you just post your conversations from facebook on here?

You don't have to post your real name or theirs, but if this really did happen, could you just cut and paste that into a quote box here for all of us to actually read the words?

Even if it was the chat application, that can be copied and pasted.

I'm not doing cartwheels over Cowher if this is true, but I'm at least sure that the defense is immediately going to get better, so there's that.

but cowher's teams continually did plays of that type at all times of the game marty would go into a shell, also cowher would hire an offensive guy and let him get it

Ya, but did anyone see the offense Marty had in SD? I'd call that growth from the rrpp he ran in KC.

sodcat · 01-19-2009, 07:43 PM

I'll file this w/all the other "maybe" stuff and wait..........

It's OK to miss when the person is ****ing awesome.

I remember thinking the same thing when Herm was hired...

Not really comparing the two, just finding it ironic.

And the team, overall, would be much more fundamentally sound and tough.

I can't say I'd be unhappy about that.
