Assuming Bill Cowher becomes the Browns coach...what happens to Phil?

My first inclination would be to think adieu Phil.

BUT, if Phil is the one to shitcan RAC, then I guess he'd be the one to hire Cowher, and therefore stay on. If Lerner is the "one" who shitcans RAC, then that would tell me he's taking over football decisions and will therefore fire Phil as well.

Who the hell knows with this fucked up org any more...makes me sad.

I would like to point out that savage has done a good job of catering to romeo crennel who asked phil for used up old wiley veterans to round out the team and savage got them for him i dont see why this approach wouldnt work.. with phil and cowher working together on (drafted)talent we would be badass in short order(theoreticaly speaking)

The biggest differences in rac and BC is cowher understands talent and can truly evaluate talent across the board rac cannot cowher is also a motivator of both players and his assistants rac is niether cowher will want top flight talent around him romeo doesnt really seem to care that he is surrounded with football flunkies..

I hope this is true but since theres only one source i remain skepical...

FWIW

Some guy over on a Jets board says he sees Cowher all the time in Carolina and that hes waiting for the Panthers job to come available. Supposedly, this guy nailed Cowher retiring way before it was announced.

With the Panthers 8-2, Cowher could be waiting awhile.

Maybe Cowher will coach in Oakland or San Fransisco if he returns ?

But surely not Browns. I dont think RAC will be fired even if this season was a bust but even if it was it will only be if another good coach was available.

Cowher's got a better chance at showing up on the cover of Vogue than patrolling the Raiders' sidelines.

He's not an idiot.

I don't know guys; I always thought the Cower talk was nonsense; however, where there is smoke and there is a TON of smoke here....

It seems they'll be talking about Cowher soon on PTI...

EJ.SEZRIGHT

you guys have imagination I'll give you that. Cower is not coming to coach vs the steelers in the same division.. NO WAY. I like him for a coach.. I just do not see him coming here. If he wants the GM job too... Then I guess I don't want him. It is fairly well proven. Those jobs need to be separated.

The Browns can't just hire a coach....they have to interview Mo Carthon first.

Bill Cowher himself IS a Pittsburgh Born and Bred person !!

That may be true but he did his NFL teething in Cleveland just like Chuck Noll. You could say they became the Christopher Columbus of Pittsburgh Steeler football even though there might be a couple natives arguing they had Pro Football before Noll. You can't argue with football follies.
