Chiefs Unsubstantiated Rumor: It will be Bill Cowher as Head Coach in 2009 - Page 5

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.

True.
However, since I'm out shopping, I'm going to see if I can find something that I actually like rather than settling for rice cakes.

But since I am not doing the shopping, I'm just going to have to settle for rice cakes if that's what the buyer buys me.

If your post count was under 100 you'd have every moron on this board's panties in a knot.

Could it be possible that Cowher needs to fulfill his contract with CBS, so the announcement won't be made until after the SuperBowl?

**cdcox** · 01-19-2009, 07:22 PM

I have some reservations about "the jaw" but could live with him as a coach. Just remember, he drafted Antione Randal-El with the hopes of reliving the "slash" days of Kordell Stewart. As if this were a good thing.

Thats what I thought...I think he is done with CBS for the season which means all this has transpired in the last 24 hours if true.

So nobody likes Marty because He got us to the playoffs, but never won a SB and never will.
Now we have Cower who repeatidly went to the playoffs AND won a SB, but still dont want him because...what, he has a proven record and probably couldnt do it again?

I'm getting that what a lot of ppl want is a rookie coach with TIES to someone who has had success to come in and become the next great coaching guru out of nowhere?

Is that the only acceptable way for us to go forward? How long will it take to know this new prodigy is for real?

**dirk digler** · 01-19-2009, 07:30 PM

Interesting rumor Ari I hope it ends up true.

Mr_Tomahawk · 01-19-2009, 07:32 PM

Did your friend say when we would hear about Herm?
