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.

      More TDs last year in less games (double the TDs) and more yards per game. Those are some tough stats to brush aside. Career stats are good but we are wanting the player for what they are currently. DK had some drop issues too.

      After Day three.... New draft strategy?

      By Murph · Posted

      I’m going with Nick Emmanwori as the pick right now. Charlie Campbell has him ranked 5th on his post combine big board and another safety is needed.

      Morgan as GM so far

      That is ridiculous on several levels. First of all you have to spend 90% of your cap space every year so the idea you can just not spend it every year is against the CBA. Secondly your job is to assemble the best team you can for the fans players and team. Not to save money for the owner.  Third many players who are considered great underperform while others like Luvu and Jackson have overperformed. What about a  great player like Derek Brown who was injured and missed all of last year. Was he a waste of money?? Sure pay DK a fools ransom and hope he stays healthy. He didn't even get 1000 yards last year which averages out to 60 yards a game or play all 16 games.  And lets be real, Jones and Watson aren't  great but they aren't being paid that much either. Real glad you aren't the GM.
