    Besides, he has made it clear that he has no desire to coach again.

    Of course he's not.

    He's been busy looking for a house to buy in Strongsville for the last decade.

  • Cowher could be the beer guy in the stands and win us a game just by his presence

  • Cowher as VP Football Operations...

    That there is some tinythinkin'...

  • Your choices:

    Paul DePodesta and Sashi Brown, the analytics/legal minds behind the current rebuilding process, including trades, draft picks, and business arrangements for the Cleveland Browns professional football organization.

    Bill Cowher, former NFL player and coach familiar with the AFC north who helped revive a rival of the Browns from a slump of mediocrity and inconsistency to playing in divisional titles and Superbowls.

    [Note: There is no rumor or speculation that Mr. Cowher would consider leaving his current position as an on-air analyst for CBS Sports or that the Browns have attempted to contact him, this is just poll of forum opinion toward a hypothetical situation]

    Blah, blah, blah. 

    He was an intense coach, but over rated. Blew several home field advantages.

    Saying that, I still cannot figure out how Modell chose Belichick over Cowher in the hiring process back in the day. Then again, Modell fires Belichick and Paul Brown.

    I don't recall the Browns even considering hiring Cowher as HC at the time.

    And as much as I despise Art Modell, the Browns do not win the '64 NFL Championship with Paul Brown as HC.

  • I dont want cowher as the coach, but front office? Yes. Only reason i dont want him as coach is that he has a diff def scheme so we'd have to restart the def yet again.

    During his run as Head Coach, Cowher won a power struggle with whoever the GM was, and gained power over the roster of the team. The Steelers then had two seasons under .500 and Cowher nearly got canned. The proper delegation of power within the Steelers organization was reinstated, and they've been a playoff contender every season since, winning two Super Bowls, going to a third.

    It is a totally different animal, coaching and being in the front office.

    As with Manning I was going to raise the question of Cowhers' GM qualifications. Now you've reminded folks of his GM disqualifications.

    He interviewed Cowher,  didn't hire him obviously. Must not have had the energy like BB lol.

    Bobby Knight got BB the Browns job.    Its basically true.

    Sure, but if someone does want Manning for front office, why not Cowher? Not to say Bill should be running things, but I don't see any better argument for Manning. It's kind of *shrug* when people start tossing out names like that.

    In any event, currently Sashi leads Cowher 52%/48% with 25 voting.

    Is Walt Disney still around? 

    Not as absurd an idea as it may seem. Disney could have his imagineers create an audioanimatronic version of Johnny Manziel, except make the legs 5” longer, leave the faulty parts of the brain out, and make the mouth inoperable. The real Manziel could get a licensing fee, which would earn him enough money to stay in Vegas in perpetuity. Everyone wins.
