Chiefs Unsubstantiated Rumor: It will be Bill Cowher as Head Coach in 2009 - Page 15

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.

At a time when rumors continue to circulate that Stephen Ross might soon acquire control of the Dolphins from Wayne Huizenga, which would then allow V.P. of football operations Bill Parcells to walk away with pay, Parcells made an appearance on Monday at the Senior Bowl in Mobile.

Parcells was spotted with G.M. Jeff Ireland and coach Tony Sparano. Jeff Darlington of the Miami Herald called it the “Tuna Trifecta.” (We prefer the “Tuna Trinity.”)

But Parcells, who per Darlington didn’t travel to any of the team’s road games in 2008 and was seen only one time at the Senior Bowl in four years as the coach of the Cowboys, wouldn’t comment on the reason for his presence.

”I don’t talk. He does the talking,” Parcells said, pointing at Sparano.

A cynical mind might think that Parcells wanted to be seen (even if not heard) in order to generate interest in purchasing his services if/when he walks away from the Dolphins with the balance of his contract in hand.

Amid rumors that perhaps he wants to coach again and given that his son-in-law, Scott Pioli, could soon be looking for a head coach in Kansas City, we won’t rule out at this point the possibility of Parcells wearing a big red sweatshirt next season.

Holy Santa Clause shit!!!

No ****ing way.

But I'd certainly take him over Cowher.

I dunno... it would kind of be weird working for your 47 year old son in law. How would that chain of command work? What if he had to fire his wife's dad? Sounds like a family mess to me.

....ya it's a stretch.

Don't get him started on the "football is a contact sport....." comment. You're sure to get a rant......

I think he either is, or has been a TE coach with the Bengals.

I dunno, that seems pretty easy to handle compared to some of the shit I've had to deal with with my family....

Yes he is still with the Bengals. He was also a coach at OU under Stoops. He finished his playing in Pittsburgh while "The Chin" was Head Coach. If anything he has learned about hard work and good coaching, and how bad it can be to be a Bengal.

Cheater5 · 01-20-2009, 02:41 PM

I'd much rather have Cowher over Parcells. From what I saw in his last two seasons in Dallas- Parcells looked cooked; done; over...
Here's the rundown on stats for these two:
Cowher
15 years as head coach, overall regular season record of 149-90-1 for a .623 pct. He has 1x Super Bowl victory, 2 x Conference Championships, and 9x Division Championships

Parcells
19 years as head coach with a 172-130-1 record for a .570 pct in regular season. 2 x Super Bowl wins, 3 x Conference Championships, and 8 x Division Championships.

But I would boil and eat my boot if either one of these dudes is hired.

Cheater5 · 01-20-2009, 02:49 PM

Okay. I'm a little late on the Parcells/Cowher stats run-down. But I digress; why not Urban Meyer (sp)?

uh oh look out

Cheater5 · 01-20-2009, 03:26 PM

I kid...

But Stoops' name was mentioned albeit briefly, as a candidate for the Broncos HC position, so I figured what about the dude that beat the dude coaching our dudes?

He's great a building teams and even if we don't win a sb with him, he will set things up very nicely for his replacement. you have to make the playoffs to win a sb, Cowher consistently makes the playoffs and goes deep into them
