Most likely won't happen....I bet if Fox pulls out a 8-8 record or even a 7-9...he will be back next year...Until Cowher publicy states.."If the opportunity presents itself, I would Coach the Carolina Panthers" until then not getting my hopes up...

If Fox is back after and 8-8 or 7-9 season.... I WILL BE PISSED!!!

For all how horrible this team is and has been, a record like that is still possible.

He went to the playoffs 10 times in 15 seasons and had 2 losing seasons. So I guess he was alright.

He was alright, but he wasn't really great. That division was garbage for a lot of those years too, so he didn't always have a lot of competition, and he never brought in a QB that was any better than Delhomme until a couple of years before he retired.

I'm just sayin, there may be better options than to bring in a coach who is gonna have to rebuild the whole defense in order to run his system. Thomas Davis is about the only player in the Panthers defensive front 7 that would fit Cowher's scheme and he's actually on the small side for a 3-4 outside LBer. So you're looking at probably a 2-3 year rebuilding project on defense, and by then, he will have to do the same on offense.

But Fox has never won when it matters...need I say more?

That's not quite true...he has won a few play off games and came within a whisker of winning it all in 03. Anyway, for most of his 15 years at Pittsburgh, you could say the same thing about Cowher. He was a lot like Andy Reid is with the Eagles right now...lots of wins in the regular season, but gets kicked out of the play offs every year and lost in his first Super Bowl appearance. That was the story right up until the end.

Why is everybody so hung up on Cowher anyway? Is he really that much better than Fox just because he screams and spits on his players? It's not like his teams were that great before Big Ben came along, and it hasn't hurt the Steelers that he left either.

If he can bring the Steelers DC with him though, then we can talk.

He made the playoffs 9 times without Big Ben and twice with him.

He's a good coach. He went to the superbowl with Neil O'Donnell. Thats like building a rocket ship out of wood and making it to the moon.... I think he wants to prove it wasnt a fluke in winning the superbowl. Hes already made the mistakes that Foxy's making. Yeah, he had a few bad seasons but was always competitive, not this circus sh!t we're watching now.
