Marty, Billick, Tice, Green and Reid.........................all retreads you can keep them.

I would rather have Billick than most of the other retreds out there, and since that's

probably what we are going to get.......... What we really need is a disciplinarian like

coughlin or I hate to say it but bellicheck. Anyone that would be willing to beat braylon

into remembering that he actually has hands. and maybe even talk the db's into at least

pretending to tackle.

PULLLLLEEEZE, can we stop being stupid here?

NO QUALITY candidate will work for Phil Sewage FORGET ABOUT IT.

You are absolutely right.......................No established coach will come to a team where the headcoach has 100% say so on personnel decisions. The only thing you get is a retread like Dennis Green or some young buck with no experience.

Good coaches won't want to walk into a situation where they are set up to fail.

........ what the heck, Michael Dean Perry as Special Teams Coach !!!!!!

We had folks wanting Joe Greene for HC... the Old Stars are usually NOT the Answer.... Though I respect Kosar..... He could be ok.

Cowher will be using 100 dollar bills to light his cigars!

the steelers always did loose good players once they peaked because they wont pay,same with cowher he want's paid as a top teir coach period..

8 or 9 mill. he might just come..

not my first post had to re-register..

First, the browns have not contacted Cowher. That has been reported by the Browns and by ESPN who talked to Cowher.

Second, Cowher has said on more then one occasion that he would never coach the Browns or any team in the AFC North as long as the Rooneys still owned the Steelers. He said it was about the respect that he has for the Rooneys.

So, please move on. He obviously isn't a consideration.

Know, are you looking for a retread or a up and coming assistant. Retreads usually end up being just that. Forget about Marty, and Green and Billick. They were fired for a reason and it usually was because they weren't winning.

New coaches that are winning in the NFL aren't the 30 year assistants, like Crennel and Nolan. Take a look around the league, Sean Payton, Zorn, Harbaugh, Mangini.

My vote goes for Spagnola. I don't want a college coach or a retread. I want a young energenic guy that will come in here and put a kick ass defense on the field. Someone who won't play a prevent defense in the 2nd quarter.

I like your thinking Ytown about Cowher at least........it is hilariious to think he is coming here to work for our loser buffoon SEWAGE..............as far as coaches do not throw college guys under the bus.........winners are winners and the level of coaching is not the issue it is about getting players to play big and have schemes to help them

sumitimes I think the most overrated crap is assistants working for big time head coaches...................duh Crennel and Weis

Yeah right.

@gips said:

I would think just the opposite. Why wouldn't a GM want to come to a team where he has say so in most football operations and is provided the money he needs. Lerner has never closed the purse strings and he doesn't interfere in the football decisions of the staff.

Hell, I wish my boss would give me the tools and money I need, go away, and then judge me on the bottom line at years end.

Asswipe?

mz. said:

Guess I'm just being naive here, Desert Dawg.

I never said Cowher was taking the job did I? In fact I have stated over and over he is not taking the job, asswipe. I said I don't believe any coach when he says "I will NOT be coaching next season."

I have been civil on this board and if you want to start shit take it to PM.

@vegasdogg said:

Yeah, Bill Cowher (by all accounts a stand-up guy and a class act) is going to make a promise to his employer of what, 15 years?, that he would never coach the Browns, or any team in the AFC North as long as they still owned the Steelers, and break it to take over this mess? Please, bro, this isn't Nick Saban talking here...sorry you've become so jaded.

Guess I'm just being naive here, Desert Dawg.

I have heard enough BS from every coach in the NFL and NCAA to know that your misguided belief in Cowher's words is Naïveté at its finest.

See who are all the coaches available at that time. then decide.

I've had bosses like that and they suck.

Hands off is good (it takes someone extra 'special' to like micro-managers) but wishy-washy, spineless flip-floppers are useless.

That's true too. It could be because of his limited knowledge.

@vegasdogg said:

Thanks for the meaningless anecdote. You're not seriously comparing the character of Bill Cowher to that of Nick Saban are you? When Cowher says something, I believe it. When Saban does, I bet on the exact opposite.
