If they are able to get a decent season in 2009, and THEN hire Cowher going into 2010, that would probably get the fans fired up.
Just a thought.

Why is it going to be easier to hire a new coach next year? That's been thrown around and it makes no sense, whether it be Cowher or anyone else. If Cowher wants to work in KC,a nd Pioli wants Cowher, that would happen now, not next year despite what may have come out of Cowher's mouth about not coaching in 2009.
This is Pioli's most important year. He wants to get off on the right foot, and a lame duck Herm Edwards in 2009 would be a disaster.
Look at the rookie coaches who had success in 2009. They weren't big names. I think Pioli is going to have no problem with hiring a "no name". None of us have any idea what Pioli has been up to the last week, but I'm quite confident trotting out a lame duck Herm Edwards in 2009 is not on his plate.
