Cowher To Carolina Talk Heating Up

Terry Bradshaw: Jake Delhomme's demise greasing Bill Cowher's path to Carolina

Fox broadcaster Terry Bradshaw said today that if Carolina QB Jake Delhomme doesn't improve, both he and head coach John Fox will be out of jobs and former Steelers coach Bill Cowher could be at the helm of the Panthers.

Delhomme was benched in Week 1 after throwing four interceptions and losing a fumble. That gave him a two-game total of 11 turnovers dating to a playoff loss to Arizona in January.

Bradshaw echoed comments by former Steelers RB Jerome Bettis that Fox's future is tied to Delhomme's progress.

"If Delhomme plays another lousy game with those kinds of turnovers, look for John Fox's career with the Panthers to be over," he said during Fox NFL Sunday.

"Bill Cowher desperately wants to get back in the NFL. Cowher will go down to Carolina."

Cowher told USA TODAY in August that he was happy working as a TV analyst for CBS and considered his coaching prospects "year-to-year."

Fellow Fox analyst Jimmy Johnson said the Panthers' season could go downhill quickly if Delhomme struggles. They did not add a viable quarterback in the offseason after giving Delhomme, 34, a five-year contract extension.

"John Fox better hope that Delhomme is back," Johnson said. "He's got no other option. They signed A.J Feeley - he's a journeyman backup that can't play so he has to live and die with Delhomme." -- Sean Leahy

old news and IMO, I wouldn't want Cowher. Took him 15 years to get a SB. IS that what you want or do you want someone that wers his emotions on his sleeve?

I really wish we could have brought Dom Capers back as DC and switched back to a 3-4 like we had with Kevin Greene and Lamar Lathon. Salt and Pepper!!!!

Bradshaw said it on the pregame show Sunday. Then jerome Bettis echoed it. both men know him, and know he wants to come back. he keeps saying "if the time was right." "50-50". Every knows he wants to coach in charlotte rather than anywhere else, because he lives in Raliegh and wants to be near his family, its logical. Personally, that is the only reason i would hope we don't make the playoffs. i think the Fox era has run its course.

i understand all that fox has done, but sometimes it is time to move on. Its time. of course we will all be lovey dovey if we win Monday Night. but in the back of our heads, we will pounce on him again after we lose. Odds are against us, nothing matters, I have no point. Screw it!!! go ahead and bash me for my idiotic ranting.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
