Chiefs Unsubstantiated Rumor: It will be Bill Cowher as Head Coach in 2009 - Page 7

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.

It's infinity% more than the Chiefs won in those years.

Not really comparing the two, just finding it ironic.

I hated Herman ****ing Edwards from the word "Go".

Never expected him to bring toughness or a great defense to KC.

on the other hand marty was 5-13 in the playoffs

Really?

I wasn't crazy about the selection, either, but I completely bought into the bullshit about Herm's ability to coach a defense. Thought we'd struggle on offense and play tough, hard-nosed D.

I was very, very wrong on one count.

I love Cowher

We have a much, much larger sample size with Cowher though.

Let me be clear here.

I won't be pissed if this rumor proved to be true like I was when Herman ****ing Edwards was hired, but neither will I be dancing in the streets.

I'll enjoy the hardnosed, tough football that he'll bring to the Chiefs and hope like hell that he can bring at least one championship to the team.

I figure that's how a lot of fans felt. He's a really good speaker/liar. But so is Bill Clinton (Just as Monica!).

i fell as though it would make us a much more desirable team for free agents to WANT to sign with also

Unquestionably.

I don't think anyone would argue that he's not a "winner." He is. Plain and simple. The question is how risk averse will he be in his second stint.

If this were the hire, I wouldn't be bothered by it, but I think the better direction would be to find our own young, up and coming coach.

Also, I think it would suck switching to the 3-4. But Julius Peppers did say that he thinks he would be better as a 3-4 OLB......

This doesn't bother me.

This current cast of misfits can't do shit in the 4-3, so it's not like we'd be shooting ourselves in the foot to change schemes. Dorsey is the only legit consideration, IMO. Everyone else can go **** themselves if unable to transition.

someone posted the pre draft evaluation of dorsey the other day and it said he would be better suited for a 3-4
